Maxi skirts are back in fashion / myLot

July 13, 2016 7:00pm CST

This post is inspired by a fun filled argument @toniganzon and I are having on a photo that I posted here where she was trying to guess the year in which that photo was taken and assumes it was taken somewhere around the sixties or seventies because I am wearing a maxi there. This photo that I have uploaded here was taken last Christmas (2015) where I am wearing a maxi skirt. So what do you think. Do clothes help determine the year of a photo?

Some clothes do help, but I think maxi skirts have never really gone out of fashion. Here's a photo of me in one about 4/5 years ago.

4/5years cannot be said to be too old. Fashions take a few years to run out.

With todays ability to edit photos it's rarely possible to actually notice when it was taken ..... now if you had film to work with it could be easier.

It wasn't just the clothes. It's the whole fashion style plus the color of the photo and everything looked so old. You see I'm wearing maxi skirt these days and fashion in the 60s but ti doesn't look like it was in the photo you posted in your discussion. I rest my case.

You are right there and before I rest my case the condition of a photo could to some extent help guess the age of the photo. It was great interacting with you. Have a nice day

That is great advice but when what suits you gets into fashion nothing like it.

@allknowing trends come'n go. i've always wondered why folks're somewhat slaves to what complete strangers believe to be stylish. perhaps their constant boredom'n need fer recognition takes hold? 'tis nice to hear that maxi's 're makin' a comeback though. those danged short skirts'n "i could be a blouse if'n i'd more material added" really looked jest awful.

I think some fashions point to a certain period but both maxi and mini skirts seem to be timeless now.

Fashion comes and goes in cycles, I too was wondering about maxi skirts recently....for sometime the were out and now I see they are back.... As for me I am always behind fashion...when I summon up enough courage to go for a new look it goes out of fashion

Great to see you throwing that party.
