I miss when we dressed our children like they were 60 years older.

Be the change you want to see. Start sending them to school in cool stuff - just not quite different enough that they get bullied. :)

Fashion is weird today.

When I was in school (90s) you would be made fun of incessantly for not wearing the cool clothes.

Now my son is in school and I’m trying to avoid that for him and everyone just wears crocs and sweatpants. It’s like the “I just rolled out of bed with a 103 fever and shit myself” aesthetic is the thing.

I remember everyone had to have stussy and mossimo and Nikes and reeboks other trendy brands to be truly "cool" back then.

My grandmother, died back in the mid 2000s about 20 years ago, told me they dressed that way because that’s all they had and would have to constantly do patches and repairs to clothing and shoes. A lot of the time their clothes were hand made by family members to save money during the depression. They would save all their money for food.
