“Schoolgirls don’t need the stylish clothes that grown women wear” is fascinating, because I have read that before the 1960s youth culture revolution, fashion was considered the domain of grown adults. The most admired, stylish women were in their 30s and 40s. Nowadays it’s the total opposite, with fashion trends being marketed to teenagers and very young adults, and older women being labeled as frumpy. I’ve never seen such a forthright explanation of the old-time attitude. The 1960s was such a complete revolution that I think we’ve forgotten what the culture was like before then.
