Well, better start calling your fridge a vintage cold storage unit and selling it for premium price on Etsy.

there is a trend for fashion to be recycled every few decades or so. Do you still see 80s jean jackets in style today?

The term is planned obsolescence and everything gets fazed out and brought back to keep the system perpetual.

Planned obsolescence has absolutely nothing to do with fashion preferences. How on earth did you come to this conclusion?

Cause you won't read the article here is the first few paragraphs.
Planned obsolescence, or what was known in the 1930s as ‘creative waste,’ is an old trick companies use to create recurring revenue, by intentionally designing their products to become obsolete.
The first is through perceived obsolescence, whereby fast-changing trends render old styles obsolete, driving unnecessary consumption. Fast fashion brands such as H&M or Zara put out anywhere between 12 to 24 collections every year, at least twice the industry standard.
Another way that fashion companies drive obsolescence is by producing poor quality items. Within a matter of weeks, customers find new clothing coming apart at the seams or losing color, soles coming off of footwear, or jewelry breaking apart.
From Wikipedia about planned obsolescence
plan would have the government impose a legal obsolescence on personal-use items, to stimulate and perpetuate purchasing.
God damn I love being correct.

I've never heard of planned obselesence used in the fashion context before, I'm happy to say you're right.
Patting yourself on the back so hard makes you look like an asshole though.
SaraRainmaker t1_jdwjaar wrote
Actually... (sorry I had to)
Fast Fashion is planned obsolescence - ie: Making shoddy inexpensive clothing that people only wear once or twice and then it falls apart.
It has nothing to do with trends, fads or styles, which are driven by music, celebrities and yes fashion designers and textile companies.

Ever hear of capris? Those and “pant shorts” were a thing (a zipper converted pants to shorts).
T-Rex_Woodhaven t1_jdu6mo3 wrote
Look at the Spice Girls for things on the pop-y side (overly tight-fitting clubbing clothes with belly ribbed sweatshirts) and the show Friends for clothes on the preppy side (everything is too big on guys which includes polo shirts and straight-leg blue jeans). Button-up shirts that are unbuttoned with crazy patterns and colors and a tee underneath.
BMFhartz1 t1_jdswtck wrote
That will change in 20 years when there are no longer 20 year old clothes due to them all being made with cheap petrochemicals.
__Hoof__Hearted__ t1_jds94vl wrote
I've still got loads of my clothes from then in good nick. Not sure a load of baggy jeans and Nirvana/dead Kennedys tee shirts would be worth selling though lol.

Old band shirts are definitely worth something, especially if they're originals!

A few weeks ago I was talking to a fellow member of our hobby group, and realized the shirt I had been wearing that morning was 7 years older than she was.
She's 23. I bought that shirt new.

Much of it is. The jeans are still jeans.

Was in a mall recently and kids are wearing JNCO’s !!! That big ass rave jeans company is alive and kicking. Sadly tossed all mine years ago or Id sell them some OG’s

A kid offered me 500 bucks for my Pantera ‘Far Beyond Driven’ tour shirt. Not only did it make me feel old and out of touch, but it pissed me off that he had 500 bucks to piss away on a ratty old band shirt.

With few exceptions, all of my shirts and slacks/jeans date back to 1990s; plus some of my boots. My coats are even more vintage. My painter's pants are from my Navy days in the late 1970s.
Ok_Copy5217 OP t1_jdt4314 wrote
how come you haven't bought new clothing?
dvdmaven t1_jdt81nn wrote
I had a friend who was a bit of a clothes horse, who died in 2004. His GF gave me two wardrobes full of clothes: Gap, LL Bean, that level. Still have one that's mostly shirts.

I have some jeans that I bought in the 90s or early 2000's, that after some weight loss I can now fit in again. What's interesting about them is the front pocket isn't big enough for my phone. Probably because that simply wasn't an issue back then.

I can see the styles of the 60's, 70's, 80's, and some of the 90's have a place in revival aesthetics, but the late 90's and 00's were just trash.
