Sigh. This old film reel predicting future fashion makes me nostalgic about the past, when women were glamorous, men were manly, and snappy commentary was written by the gays. Naturally the female guesstimations take center stage, and they hit pretty close to the mark, with dresses straight out of Alexander McQueen. As for dudes, well, slap a soul patch and a utility belt on somebody and we'll call it square.

Ten points for predicting that we'd all carry around phones. But never guessing we'd find a way to make them small? Still, their biggest miss is not realizing that men would become peacocks too, and that "soo-wish!" could do equal time.

Still looks perfectly 1937 to me.
