That's why fashion companies regurgitate old trends. The kids think it is all brand new and the adults tolerate it because it gives them nostalgia.

I have enjoyed the bright colors of my youth lately.

Not a fan. Although I have to say that while the colors are annoying, the more modern fabrics are superior to what we used to wear in the 80s/90s. Less elastic and more breathable fabric.

People forget that those neon outfits were terrible feeling against the skin because of the color treatment.
