Shockingly Accurate Fashion Predictions for 2000 by Designers in 1939



Fashion designers in 1939 were asked to forecast what women would wear in 2000 AD. Some of their predictions were shockingly accurate!

They predicted:

- Adjustable clothing, that can translate from day to night (I want that dress in the video!)
- Dresses of transparent netting with strategic matte placement for modesty
- Hair styles high up on the head
- Pants will overtake dresses in popularity
- Shoes will take on the shape of a cantilever
- An electric belt will adapt the body to climactic changes
- Atmospheres will be adjusted to meet the most scientifically correct temperature.
- Wedding dresses will be adorned with glass
- A dress with a zippered sash to change it from day to evening
- Men will grow out their beards in lieu of shaving
- Men will avoid colors, pockets, and ties
- But they will be "fitted with "a telephone, a radio, and containers for coins, keys, and candy for cuties."

Of course, candies for cuties! ;)
