If television sitcoms of the 1980s and 1990s are to be believed, every parent in America argued with a teenager who wanted to wear ripped jeans and ill-fitting shirts to school.
These shows also implied that the youth of America ran around speaking like Valley Girls and using slang no one over the age of 17 understood.
I thought these fashion battles were dramatized TV nonsense and never happened in real households.
I was wrong.
Judging by the amount of inappropriate attire job seekers wear to interviews and employees wear to work, many adults are taking advantage of the freedom to wear whatever they choose. And some of them seem to be wearing the exact clothes their parents disapproved of over a decade (or two) ago........
