Also, is no one else concerned that this rally looked like something out of Deliverance?

Yeah, if I just dress slightly 60s retro I look great. 70s style didn’t really look that good on anyone.

Phase Eight (UK) has some really beautiful fit and flare dresses. My wallet hates them but the fabrics are just so nice.

I can't help it. I love bell bottoms. Not the stupid flare at the calf suburban 90s mom action, but some classic big-ass 70s flares? Hell yeah!

To be fair, if they were wearing their flares on their hands they probably didn’t know what they were talking about.

Thank you/I’m sorry.

There were actually about three things I legitimately liked (and I might have tried on those Aldo booties recently) but the rest looked like 70’s rejects filtered through the 90’s.

They can pry my skinny jeans off of my cold, dead legs. I feel like some of these styles have to be some kind of industry inside joke, because damn.

I do remember! I was in 7th grade when it hit its zenith. My school dance pictures from that time period are virtually indistinguishable from my mother’s high-school dance pictures.

that is too cute! I just got this dress to wear to a wedding, but I sort of want to wear it all the time forever.

Honestly. I hated it then. I hate it now. I especially hate it now, since the trend seems to be as aggressively ugly and unflattering as possible on all body types.

those ankle flares just make it look like the model had some kind of insane growth spurt halfway through the day, and she just has to awkwardly wear too short pants until she can go home and change into something that fits.

It's the 10s version of the 90s version of the 70s. Third time is NOT the charm.

These looks are fucking horrible. I’m just going to keep cycling through my enormous collection of fit-and-flare dresses until they all fall apart. They may not be stylish, but they're damn flattering.

Anybody besides me remember when the 70s came back in the 90s briefly? It looked exactly like this. So this is basically the 90s version of the 70s come back to haunt us all.

I kept looking for some petty bullshit like OMG SHAME ON THESE HIGH-WAISTED JEANS. But everything was justifiably bad, in multiple ways.

That fabric on a chair would be perfection!

I like this fabric! For a chair.

I thought to myself, “These can’t possibly be all that bad.”

You’re tilting @ windmills; relax, Francis
