Mode Studios has created a video charting the evolution—or disintegration, depending on how you look at it—of the past 100 years in men's fashion.
The video breezes through every decade, starting with 1915, using a man dressed in a stereotypical outfit from each particular era. And, according to the video, boy, was it bleak for a while. Everything starts to go downhill in the '60s section of the video, which shows the model dressed head-to-toe in a muddy yellow. That horrific ensemble is followed by an unbuttoned paisley shirt and pastel suit, an all-white Miami Vice-esque getup, and baggy jeans paired with a Puka shell necklace from the '70s, '80s, and '90s, respectively.
