    I’m showing my lack of sophistication here, but what are the differences between the two outfits to the left?

      It’s a four-piece consisting of a blazer, an overshirt and two trousers.

      The description is made in this order:

      Left bottom: business suit (blazer with matching trousers)
      Left top: sports suit (blazer with contrasting trousers)
      Right bottom: solid casual (overshirt with matching trousers)
      Right top: contrasting casual (overshirt with contrasting trousers)

          “Here in nyc or”

          You either need to add a second location r someone needs to get to the bottom of why Oregon cannot come up with unique names for cities.

      I think in the 70’s I was rocking a bowl cut and corduroys. But my parents are to blame for that.

        I got to grow my hair out when I was 12. Joke was on them. I am whiter than a hotel towel and I had a full 100% Afro.

    Some people aren’t fans of the 1980s, and I ask those people to at last appreciate that it would have just kept being the 1970s had it not been for the 1980s.
