Is The Nehru jacket back?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I have seen two gentlemen wearing one on tv.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

1. Oh please no

Liked it when I was a kid, but when I got older-ewwwwww....

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Stephen A. Smith was wearing one and a physician was wearing one.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

5. Well, history does repeat itself n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. He's rocking it well.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

10. Well, if he looks good in it, more power to him! n/t

11. The jacket looks like a linen.

29. :) Not to worry. Everything suddenly looks cool when it's back in style.

If it by some chance is, it'll turn out to be painless.

And of course these lines never went entirely out of style in many places of the world.



I actually think my husband would get a lot of wear out of this in our hot weather. Very comfortable looking.

4. It was once "attention-getting." Now, it is just silly, but whatever...

2. My daughter got some bell bottom pants last year.

She had no idea what kind of top to wear with them.
I had to pick out something for her and show her what the look is.

[oregonjen]

6. Ugh, no! Hate bell bottoms.

So, skinny jeans and side parts are out apparently. Skinny jeans have less fabric and are easier to wear than bell bottoms.

13. Bell bottoms and bicycle chains don't mix too well!

[oregonjen]

18. Ahh,yes, I remember it well!

[Irish_Dem]

14. All the clothes in the store were 70's retro looks and she loved them.

I'm going geesh, been there done that.
It was all totally new to her.

I had to pull the looks together for her as she was having trouble wrapping her head around all of it. She initially tried putting a tunic top with the bell bottoms and I said no, you need a skinny ribbed top that you tuck in. Actually looked fabulous on her.

My daughter is in the medical field and associated with a major hospital and university so she attends dinners and luncheons. She sent me pictures of her wearing her bell bottoms, top and a sweater jacket at some of these events.
I got a big kick out of that.

I am going to stick to leggings and tunic tops. As you point out, more comfortable.

[oregonjen]

19. Glad she likes them and wears them well. As with you, I'm sticking with comfort!

[Irish_Dem]

22. When I was young I wore mini skirts, stacked heels, bell bottoms.

Comfort was not the issue, looking fashionable and cute was the goal!
Now that I am older comfort is my goal!

My daughter is not a clothes horse, and she wears scrubs at work.
So every now and then I go clothes shopping with her and help her pull together some professional outfits for meetings and dinners. And some fun outfits for leisure outings with friends.

7. Is Dr. William A. Haseltine who is often on CNN one of them?

I think his can be described as vintage and that he's just eccentric.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. I believe he's testifying about the J&J vaccine and that's where I saw it.

[greatauntoftriplets]

21. He knows what he's talking about, even if he wears 40+-year-old jackets.

[LeftInTX]

23. I just googled him...apparently he wears it quite a bit!

You can buy them in the US from retailers that sell Indian clothes. His jacket though, appears heavier than a typical Nehru jacket

8. Tossed mine out last summer.

Hadn’t wore it in the last 40 years. Now it’s back?

[The Jungle 1]

12. They are not sucking me in this time.

No way am I going to buy one.
Well if I do buy one can I start smoking pot again.

[lagomorph777]

16. Recently I saw burgundy corduroy Levis at Kohls.

The exact ones I wore in the mid 1970s. Freaky.

[marble falls]

26. Bell bottom with western pockets? I want them.

[lagomorph777]

27. No, straight leg.

[LakeArenal]

17. Haven't seen the jacket. But I see a lot of collarless dress shirts.

Any fashion can look good if done correctly.

[snowybirdie]

20. Men still have

to wear ties in business situations. So silly and out of date. Lets do away with them.

[Cicada]

24. William Haseltine usually wears one, looks really cool to me

[Dem4Life1102]

25. Dr. Birx's replacement???

[chowder66]

28. Guys don't have a huge amount of choices so I say... why not!

[Liberal In Texas]

30. I knew if I held on to mine they'd come back in style some day.

Not that I can still fit in it...

[Captain_New_York]

31. This is great

Now I can wear the Indian wedding outfit more than once that I will be getting for my nephews wedding in Delhi hopefully this summer ( or next depending on COVID)

[Hortensis]

32. Lol, right. Over there they know how to dress for hot weather. nt

[Paladin]

33. I'm still proud that I never owned one, back in the day.

I'm damned sure not in the mood to acquire one now, at this late point in my life.
