What are some fads you wish would come back?

I'm mostly trying to think of mostly benign or positive fads, even if they might have inspired some folks to do wacky or dangerous things on the extreme edges of the fad. I'm thinking stuff like beanie babies or bedazzling stuff.

I personally want to see some of the fashion fads from the 70's come back, like bell-bottoms.

Low rise jeans

Not quite like the super low cut of the early 00s, but I’m tired of all the high waisted everything. I can’t wear anything high waist because they irritate my surgery scar.

This includes workout leggings! So sick of not being able to find leggings that fit and are comfortable. I have to fold down my bike shorts so they don’t cause pain, but that’s uncomfortable too. I miss when flared low cut yoga pants were popular. They were so comfortable! 😩

They are back! I've seen young people wearing them!

And they're not quite as low as the old ones, I know because I had been wearing my old pair from high school but they finally wore out so I bought a new pair and I'm no longer in danger of showing off the old whale tail.

They call them flared leggings now though.

Oh snap! You just made my day! I checked online and the flared leggings are exactly what I was referring to! Thank you so much 💚

Any suggestions on where to get them?

I want neon colors again. I want the 80s neon and the 90s clear purple cases on everything. Green clear and orange clear was so much fun. Everything seems to be so boring lately. I want that pop back.

I had an old purple clear plastic gameboy color I wish I still had. Bring back transparent cases! I wanna see the electronics and stuff!

My sister randomly got me one of those cheap game platforms with the emulator packages. It's got the clear purple shell. I didn't realize how much I'd missed it!

The clear cases on everything! I didn't know I wanted that back so much until your comment. Yes bring back COLOR!!

Capes. I would pull off a cape so hard.

Honestly, maybe one that is a little weird, but I really miss the junkfood of the 90's and the advertising and aesthetic surrounding it.

I have a pair of bell bottoms that I bought last year and they're my favorite pair of jeans. They're definitely making a comeback.

I splurged on some FreePeople low-rise bell bottom jeans. It was so worth it lol. Looks great in a pair of Converse, flip flops, kitten heels. Switch out your crossbody for a small shoulder bag. It feels like such a throwback. :p

Hippie fashion, comfortable clothes. Just more fun clothes and not so much "oh no, how dare you wear blue with purple".

LEGO Bionicle.

I miss it.

Neon colours. Arena rock. Tie dye. Sixteen hour long guitar solos in spacey psychedelic rock. Radio drama. Phones with keyboards. Computers that took less than 30 seconds to start up. Actual power switches. Changeable batteries.

Is it too much to ask that I just want to play Pog one more time?
