The Eighties were a very fashionable time. Lots of evening wear, rhinestones and stiletto heels.
We had to do that, you know. We’d just spent close to ten years marinating in seventies fashion, which featured all of the beards and denim we see today, but without the man buns and rompers.
Thank goodness for ABC, and David Bowie, Klaus Nomi, and other fashion-forward non-beard wearers.

By the early nineties, we were sick of all those shoulder pads and hair gel, and grunge had to happen. Then it was back to glamour with the resurgence of cocktail music.
So, man bun people, be careful with your fashion. One day, and it will be soon, all those buns and beards will be converted to dinner jackets and cuffed evening trousers. The future is inevitable, and it will be fabulous.
