You guys with the anti-tapered pants sentiment crack me up. I remember as I was nearing the end of my college days the first flared and boot-leg pants were starting to appear in stores. I remember myself and all my friends being appalled...."EWWW Brady Bunch pants! Yuck, keep them in the 70s!!!!" We all swore that we'd never wear them, nobody else would either, and they'd never catch on again. In fact, I remember that my dad always used to hang onto clothes forever and I used to make fun of him for keeping this pair of cinnamon cord flares in his drawer (no he did not wear them thank God) and finally he let me throw them away. Imagine my amazement a couple of years later to walk into Abercrombie and see the IDENTICAL pants for $60!!!!! Needless to say, once flares were everywhere and all the fashionable young girls were wearing them, they suddenly looked a lot cuter and naturally my friends and I all succumbed.
My point is, 80s styles are coming back everywhere. Tapered pants will be an inescapable part of this. They may not be the same hideous acid-washed pleated things that we wore, but there will be nary a flare anywhere. And as soon as they start catching on with the little girls who are too young to remember them from the first time and the young celebrities, they'll spread like wildfire and everyone will be wearing them because flares will look passe.
PLEASE don't let them bring back acid washing or huge shoulder pads or "big hair!" though....PLEASE
