Indecent - 10 years before its time
Shameless - 5 years before
Daring - 1 year before
Smart- present time
Dowdy - 1 year after its time
Hideous - 10 years after
Ridiculous - 20 years after
Amusing - 30 years after
Quaint - 50 years after
Charming - 70 years after
Romantic - 100 years after
Beautiful - 150 years after its time
So, according to this, in 40 years time, the fashions of the 1980's will be regarded as 'charming'. Following this line of thought, when I'm in my 60's, I could be wearing leggings, shoulder pads and big hair, in a bid to look charming. I can't wait. On a side note, James Laver had one of the most amazing jobs ever, being the Keeper of the Robes at the V&A Museum.
