yeah, those were apparently only popular in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and early 2000's. so you could be everything from 28 to 70.

Mine were ruched and teal.

I have no idea when those were popular. Plus, I don't think I saw that many people wear them, based on the pics I saw. Though, considering the amount of skin tight clothing that women wear while working out it was probably just difficult for me to notice. I'm pretty oblivious when it comes to any type of fashion.

Parachute pants are back, too. Although most modern parachute pants are actually serviceable.

au l'arme? Nah, weapon laws are far too strict for that.
