[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok folks hold onto your hats because apparently capri pants are back. This thread was the first thing I thought of.

It was inevitable once ballet flats came back. (Here's a tip ladies from someone who just turned 60 - don't get rid of your old, nicer clothes - especially if you have daughters - because they WILL come back in style again)[/quote]

I[b]t's never the exact same style though and the cut/fabric/colors are what will date it[/b]. Unless your closet consists only of white cotton button downs, perfectly tailored trousers and jeans, perfectly tailored cashmere and linen blazers, and hermes scarves, and some Harry Winston jewels, it's completely safe to say your "older, nicer clothes" will absolutely look dated and no daughter is going to be interested in wearing them.

Not entirely.  I have wide leg *expensive* wool pants from the early 90s that were perfectly in style last year. and it was killing me that I gained too much weight with menopause to wear them.  One of my nieces regularly wears her grandma's "cruise wear" from the 1970s.  And another niece almost just spent $150 at a thrift store to buy almost the exact same gunnesax dress that I was sure was still hanging in the back of a closet somwhere (turned out it wasn't, sadly).  I have a high quality wool plaid blazer of my mom from the 1970s that I wear all the time.  She probably wore it with a wool skirt and a fussy blouse, whereas I usually wear it with black jeans and a t-shirt, but it's absolutely in style and really well-made, so I'm glad she kept it.
I'm a little sad that I gave away my 1980s leather bomber jacket (that I kept for such a long time), as my daughter or nieces would probably wear it.
