So, the powers that be (whoever they are) decide that you get to dictate next year's fashion trends. You can take any one type of clothing and radically redesign it. All items of that type clothing will thereafter follow your design patterns and ideas. What type of clothing do you change, how do you change it, and why?
Me: Men's ties. They are so boring. Why do we wear little strips of cloth tied tightly around our necks? Who came up with that? Is it a leash, or more like a noose? Why is every other kind of tie more interesting than the kind of tie men actually wear?
So, I would banish all straight, drop from the neck-to-the-waist, middling width ties. People who tied things around their necks during the day time would have their heads examined. Hopefully, all the interesting predecessors to ties would stage a comeback: bandanas, frills, ruffles, stiff collars, flowers, neckerchiefs...
We could dress like pirates again! Bankers would be dressed appropriately, at last.
