I was in a couple of trendy clothing stores yesterday, and everything looked like Stevie circa 1976.

Even though fashion rules are a lot more loose than they were a few decades ago (regarding skirt length, and tailoring) so that the industry
seems to be encouraging personal expression, they really still encourage self-doubt. Someone who has chosen a style, and only adds pieces to the collection is threatening - they would rather see radical shifts in wardrobe, because you sell more clothes that way, and you need experts to help you decide who the "new you" will be.

Also, I think it is still a pervasive idea that women over 40 should cut their hair short, and start wearing monochromatic sweater sets.
