Answer 1

Fashions change, and when something defines the fashion of an era, it looks super dated in the next era. The bland design that wasn’t with the past era doesn’t look so dated.

E. G. Skinny jeans. When they were in the skinniest looked the best. Now that skinny is out they look the worst. In a little while what is in now will go through the same.
