Fashion evolves. Over the years, we have seen different styles and trends rock the fashion world. What was regarded as ‘outdated’ yesterday is today regarded as ‘the in thing’.
As a fashion person, one important lesson you must imbibe is to never discard any of your accessories or clothing (unless, of course, they’re bad and worn-out).
Today, we’ll be looking at Retro fashion. You know, those Styles and trends that we saw back in the days that are becoming trendy again. From denims to hair styles, and of course, some good old skirt. Some of them, you may already be familiar with, and some, you’re not. Either way, stick with El crema, and enjoy the ride.
1. RIPPED JEANS (RIPPED BOYFRIEND JEANS)
The ripped BF jeans date as far back as the 60s and 70s. Back then, it wasn’t really mainstream fashion, and was easily associated with drugs and sex (you know, the ‘crazy lifestyle’). Fast- forward to the 90s, and you have ripped jeans rocking mainstream fashion.
Screen goddesses like Julia Roberts and Winona Ryder helped popularize the trend, as they were seen in every red carpet show spotting different designs of ripped Jeans. Between then and the early 2000s, ripped denims became very dominant; until they faded away. Lately though, they have gradually crept back into mainstream fashion; if you don’t have one, you should.
One good thing about ripped denims is that they give you a casual, but yet, sophisticated look. You can pair them with anything, including a shirt, jacket or a Tee.
2. FRINGES (HAIR STYLE)
The Fringe hair style is not new. It’s been there from way back, and just like every other fashion trend, it has evolved and grown better overtime.
About 6 years ago, fringes (or bangs) became very popular and was a top choice among women…till the Brazilians weaves and Human Hair entered the frame. But to underline their indispensability, today, fringes are making their way back into the world of hair fashion.
Fringes can fit into any type of head; big, small, or even Rihanna-like, just put a fringe on it, and you’re looking gorgeous. Another added advantage to the hair style is that they don’t take forever to make…unlike some other styles, just a few minutes or an hour max, and you’re done. They come in a variety of colors too, so white or black, there is something for everyone.
3. THE MAXI SKIRT
Like the name ‘maxi’ implies, they’re long skirts; just the direct opposite of the mini. Maxi skirts go as far back as the 1900s, way before miniskirts came up. Miniskirts are a product of maxis. Back then, skirts were deemed ‘very long’, so people started cutting them short to what would become minis.
The reason most women would rather wear a mini over a max skirt is because they’re very long, and cover up the legs from public view. But if you think about it, Maxi skirts have their own advantage. If paired with the right top, and carried nicely, they can give you sophistication and class. Most people argue that miniskirts can make a woman appear trashy; the direct opposite of what you get from maxi skirts. Maxi skirts can go with an array of tops, including crops so you can still get that ‘sexy’ look in a maxi skirt. Get one today ladies!
