Certainly there is some confusion when it's not clear if the
statements were regarding H-Costume members or the larger society in
general. We are definitely a knowledgeable group, and many ignore
the 20th/21stC fashions in favor of historic clothing!
I don't associate track/warmup/sweatsuits with Olivia Newton John, I
thougt she wore 80s spandex in the "Let's Get Physical" video, and a
whole range of styles seeing as she starred in the movie "Grease" and
was originally a country singer.
But I do remember when a friend and I lamented people wearing
sweatpants in public - mid 80s? The next thing you know it was
fashion (early 90s?). It was more the over 50 crowd wearing them,
sweatsuits with wide colored stripes on the chest and down the leg,
older couples matching or coordinating.
