Starsky & Hutch Knitwear

I made this photomanip in response to Mortmere's posting about a KNITWEAR party.



Looks like the battle of the crocheted poufs.

Thanks!
The poor quality photoedit actually isn't too far off from what cheap magazines looked like, is it?

Good catch, that the orange pouf is knitted---I barely know the difference!

Yeah, that Isish sweater is timeless. I think Starsk's sweater would be "in" now because hipsters started wearing "ugly" sweaters in an ironic way. (Did that start with the Christmas sweater in the original Bridget Jones? I think so...).

What really looks WRONG to this modern eye, though, is to wear button-down shirts underneath---and to pull the shirt lapels out over the sweater collar.
DORKY!

I don't follow fashion consciously but in retrospect I see, a-ha everyone was wearing that.

Was'90s grunge like what the boys wore-- but more beat up?
Hutch's high-waisted pants never seem to have come back in fashion for men though, have they?

I love how paying attention to one TV show makes me pay more attention to... EVERYTHING!

Haha, I used to wear shirt lapels over the sweater collar like that! I even had some silly second-hand (probably 70s/early 80s) shirts with pretty wide lapels! :)

Hmm, I just realized that nothing I said above about the timelessness of their wardrobe apply to the things Hutch wore during Season 4. There were some genuine 70s atrocities!
