One interesting observation is how much less variation there has been in clothes for the past 20 years or so. Someone from 2005 could look completely undisguisable from someone today, by just wearing regular non-fashion forward 2005 clothes. Same goes for haircuts.

Same can't really said about someone from 1955 and 1975, 1980 - 2000, etc.

edit: Score 4695 Avg. Years Off 3.0

I would say athleisure is a recent development. 10 years ago you'd see far fewer women wearing tight leggings outside the gym. Heck, even in gyms you'd be hard pressed to see the kind of tank tops and sport bras you regularly see nowadays [1]

N.B. I'm just noting the phenomenon, not commenting on its merits

I’ve never seen women wearing that kind of outfits in gyms in Norway or France, but I see it all the time online. Is it an American thing?

Not uncommon in Norway, at least at few gyms I've been to after they reopened after COVID.
