If more proof is needed that I am now officially OLDTM you need only consider my baffled response to my middle-school-aged step-cousin informing me yesterday that her mode of dress was the new style, and apparently everyone is wearing it. What was she wearing you ask: a long-ish white tunic t-shirt that fell just below her behind, and was trimmed with a wide rim which was snug around her thighs and let the tunic sort of bell a bit. This was paired with black, knit tights (intended to be opaque) and shoes. No bottoms other than the tights.
I boggle and weep for the current generation. I will personally chain her up in the basement if I start seeing those shorts so brief they fail to cover more than half the young lady's buttocks.
ETA: I mostly feel old and sadly out of date in this incident not because I find the style shocking (though I do), but because I honestly thought, at the time, that she had not yet put on her bottoms, and asked her what she was going to wear with it.
