The Fake Fabric Fashion Faux Pas trope was at its peak during TheEighties when there was a backlash against the garish fashions and polyester-heavy apparel that had been common during TheSeventies. Clothes made of artificial fabric were still prevalent during the '80s but [[AcceptableTargets they and the people wearing them]] came to be associated with fashion-blindness, lack of aesthetic taste, and [[{{StepfordSuburbia}} plastic suburban life]]. However, it is now becoming a DeadHorseTrope due to changing attitudes about fashion over the last 30 years. In many professional workplaces, [[https://www.worksinprogress.co/issue/how-polyester-bounced-back/?utm_source=pocket-newtab clothing has become a lot more casual and less formal.]] (If there is some backlash about wearing synthetic fibers, it will more likely be due to environmental concerns.) Also, this trope depended upon the perceived existence of [[SnobsVersusSlobs friction]] within the middle-class between [[{{Suburbia}} suburbanites who wore polyester clothes]] and the [[{{Yuppie}} Yuppies]] and [[BourgeoisBohemian Bourgeois Bohemians]] who only wore natural fabrics. The middle-class, on the whole, has shrunk so much since the 1980s that these intra-class distinctions have nearly disappeared.
