It's the 80s, and everything's coming up, well, not quite right. The plaid pant suit, once a staple of business casual, has become a staple of "what were they thinking?" fashion.
Our intrepid reporter, Bubbles McSavvy, went undercover to get to the bottom of this trend. She donned the infamous plaid pant suit and hit the streets, gathering quotes from experts and non-experts alike.
As she walked down the street, she was approached by a passing fashionista, who said, "Ugh, those are so last season." Bubbles replied, "Ah, but they're so... this season!" The fashionista just shook her head and walked away.
Undeterred, Bubbles pressed on, visiting the local mall, where she encountered a brave soul who said, "You know, I had one of those back in the 80s, and it was a real crowd-pleaser. I wore it to the company Christmas party, and everyone loved me!" Bubbles just raised an eyebrow and wondered if this person was joking.
