I know there’s this fandom joke about everyone’s outfits being horrid and Lance being the only one with a sense of style, but listen me here.
Isn’t the show supposed to be set in the future? I mean, it’s not quite confirmed but we can pressume the story takes place in a futuristic, technology-wise advanced earth, right? Well, you know what other element of society is also always evolving?
That’s right, fashion.
So, what I’m saying is that this is probably how people on earth actually dress by the time period the show is set in. They don’t have terrible tastes in fashion, this is the fashion in this world.
That being said, Lance wearing normal 2010s teenager clothes becomes a whole different concept. He isn’t going with his time’s fashion, he is wearing something his parents, or even his grandparents would have wore. So basically he is the sci-fi equivalent of a guy in the 2017 wearing zubaz pants, sky jackets and neon headbands, or something like that. Which is, i have to say, absolutely hilarious. These aren’t four awful looks + one with actual style. These are four totally normal looks + some nerd wearing his grandparent’s clothes like a goddamn futuristic hipster.
This fucking dork just took the concept of vintage to a whole new level, i love him so much.
