Since the past few years we have seen a lot new trends coming forth like women’s tuxedo and leather harness but a major change was noticed when old trends of 1950s, 60s and 70s were being adopted by fashion tycoons, celebrities and people alike. These trends were the best of their times and in this era too they represent a classic and vintage look.
Below we will discuss what trends of the previous eras saw their day again in this age and what specialty they had respectively.
The styles of 1950s
The styles of 1950s were one of a kind and they even trickled into 1960s too. Ladies of that era liked to wear clothing that defined an hour glass silhouettes. Majority of the women’s dresses were made fitted to define the waist and flatter all the curves of the body. Famous apparel such as the Chemise dress was also in the trend those days, it was basically a straight cut dress that was loose all over but a belt over the waist was also worn to represent an hour glass figure. Winter attire for women also saw a massive change; women stopped wearing shawls and went for coats that touched the knees. Wearing fur also represented status and it was mainly the accessory for the rich.
Nowadays we can spot many celebrities wearing the checkered and tartan clothing of the 50s such as Christina Aguilera and Scarlet Johansson.
For men tweed and flannel became very popular. The giants of the 70s were spotted wearing tweed jackets and even more leather jackets were also hugely popular in those days. The formal and casual apparel for men was almost the same with a slight difference of being with or without a bow tie. In place of t-shirts, checked button down shirts were very famous in that era. Marlon Brando always dictated the 70s fashion in his attire.

This same ladies style was followed by Emma Watson which was seen in 2011 .Trends for men saw a bit of a change, for instance ladies started wearing fitted suits in place of loose suits with fitted suit jackets and narrow lapels. Double breasted blazers were a thing of the 60s.A major trend of that era for men was the turtle neck shirts that were worn with blazers, sweaters and vests and even looked great on its own.
The styles of 1970s
