Reply #90: Yves St Laurent "mainstreamed" the pantsuit in 1966. I was seven years old. [View All]

So, not furious. The whole not-shaving-anything trend of the early-mid 70s was kind of a bummer, though mercifully short-lived. Also, I'm still sad about the return of the bra and the demise of the tube top, but I understand the practical reasons why these things are so. I think what you're missing here is what's funny about Hillary's pantsuits: first, the color selection isn't great. Lilac? Peach? She looks like somebody's grandma down in Boca Raton. If she's going to wear pantsuits, as opposed to, you know, suits, or a pants/jacket combo, she should stick with black, gray and navy. And pantsuits themselves are just so retro: to me, they're iconic of the seventies and of much that was goofy about the seventies. Of course, you'd have to have a sense of humor to get that.
