As long as, like Futurama, they get it wrong or semi-correct, I don't mind.

I remember reading an article on clothing styles in the future... the article was written in the 1950s, for the distant future of the 1990s. Either in Analog or Astounding Stories. I don't remember when the name changed to Analog.

None of those clothing styles have happened, except at sf conventions. Well, those that could be seen in public.
