2000AD. Yep, that's pretty much how I remember it.

Women's fashion of 2000 AD (as predicted by a 1930s newsreel) [Video]:





Eight decades or so ago, the sartorial futurists of the British newsreel Pathetone Weekly predicted that women would affix headlights to their foreheads to attract suitors and utilize see-through fabric to tantalize would-be mates. Given all the halogen flood light bonnets I've seen on sale for Black Friday, one of these predictions came true. I am however a twinge cross that the business casual utility belt has yet to be socially acceptable.
