In one of his posts he answers a question about how people dress in 2036:
Long dresses, knitted sweaters and pants are still quite popular.
The long dress he is referring to is the Maxi dress which was not in fashion in the year 2000. In 2000, you would have had to wear a long dress that you had bought in the early mid 90s, and even then the trend was not that popular. It had a moment in '94-95 and then disappeared.
Maxi dresses came back in to style in 2006-2007 and have since become what people think of a "staple" of summer fashion, hence explaining how John says that 30 years later people are still wearing long dresses, because they have recently become thought of as a classic:
The History of the Maxi Dress | Wish
Maxis were banished in the ‘80s as power suits with shoulder pads and Valley girls in rara skirts took over. There was no place for the romance of the maxi in the grunge of the ‘90s but finally mid-Noughties the maxi came back, longer and stronger than before. Kate Moss, of course ahead of the trend, was spotted in a stunning maxi at superstar make-up artist Charlotte Tilbury’s Ibiza wedding in September 2006. By 2007 runways were awash with fabric as maxis dominated the catwalks and shone at Gucci, Marc Jacobs and Stella McCartney. Fashion hasn’t looked back – the maxi seems to be here to stay.
