Leisure suits were considered the height of fashion in the 70s. It could be worn either as formal wear or casual wear. You could wear a leisure suit to the office, and still wear it for a night out on the town. Leisure suits eventually fell out of fashion (thank goodness!) around 1979.

Oh, the many wonders of "mom jeans"! They enhanced your stomach, flattened your backside, and just gave you an all-around appearance of not really caring about your appearance! Anyone think an Act of Congress could be passed to prohibit "mom jeans"?

Answer: Shoulders

Where to begin on shoulder pads? Well, I think you could get all the information you could ever need on shoulder pads by just watching one episode of "Designing Women"!

Where to begin on sagging? Well, it became popular around the mid-90's, through the genre of gansgta rap, and cruised right along until the early 2000s. Suburban boys can be seen walking everywhere, and so can their underwear. Some communities around the United States have tried to pass laws to make sagging pants illegal, and a few have succeeded!
9. Now this trend is so horrifying, so gut-wrenching, I don't know if you'll have the stomach to take it!

Answer: Jheri Curl

The "Jheri Curl" (often misspelled as the "Jerry Curl") was invented and named for Jheri Redding. I don't think there are enough adjectives in the entire dictionary that could describe the damage that the "Jheri Curl" did to fashion!
10. This hairstyle holds a special place in my heart! Being from Mississippi, it isn't hard to find one of these hairstyles. Basically, the sides of the hair are kept closely shaved, the top is fairly normal, but the back part of the hair is kept long and loose! What is this unintentionally hilarious hairstyle called?

Answer: Mullet

Ah, the mullet! Mostly worn by Caucasian males on lower incomes, the mullet can also be seen on women! I've heard a phrase that can completely sum up the mullet: "Business in the front, party in the back!" Though, I hate to say it, I was guilty of mullet possesion from the ages of 1 to 6. Hope you enjoyed my quiz! Maybe it will help you with your fashion sense ...? Any comments are welcome!
