Fashion is repetitive and has a way of coming back when you least expect it. Who hasn't thought at least once that their mother did them an injustice by throwing away her wardrobe from the 70s? The fashion trends seem to always find their way back into the present and into our wardrobe.
While there are some things that can be worn just in specific times, there are some clothes that can be described as immortal like the simple black dress, the white shirt, the pearl necklace, the diamond ring and the clutch purse. In comparison with these some fashion trends that have come back so far cannot be worn indefinitely. Some of the best examples are the military outfits and the neon clothing.
There are specific clothing items that have been most popular in their decade so here are some of the most relevant examples. In the 40s the most sought after party dress was the cocktail dress. In the decades to come it was considered quite conservative but in our days most women would like to own at least one.
The 50's was characterized by the fashionable rebels. Those men that used to wear jeans, a white shirt and a leather jacket were the dream of every woman. This James Dean and Marlon Brando fashion combination is still something that we wear today.
While in the 60s the miniskirts that only had 30 cm in length appeared and both girls and boys were ecstatic about them in the 70s fashion was all about sports. Especially when the Vogue issue featured Farrah Fawcett in active sportswear.
The 80s were characterized by the power suit with big shoulder pads and very tailored jackets but in comparison with this in the 90s the grunge style was fashionable. Dressing like you just rolled out of bed is something people still do from time to time.
Fashion is something that is part of our daily life so the trends influence us whatever we do, even if we like it or not.
