Todays Fashions are Mainly Retro

You must have noticed that todays fashion means that just about anything goes?

Here’s an idea; when you are next out shopping take a break for a coffee and just observe all the different fashions that people are wearing. Take a look at the people you see and mentally catalogue their clothing based on the era from which the fashion originates, 1960s, 70s etc.

It would appear that almost anything goes these days. You’ll see many people wearing skin tight drainpipe jeans that were very fashionable during the 1960s. These may be matched with a pair of trendy, modern sports trainers. And on the top they may be wearing a hoodie, a sports jacket, a leather bomber jacket or just about anything else.

Fashions today have become enormously eclectic with fashion conscious young people mixing and matching items from almost any era. I saw one young lady wearing a ball gown along with a leather biker jacket and a huge pair of ex military paratrooper boots and a pair of worn and torn fishnet stockings.

This eclecticism is particularly apparent when you look at the jeans people are wearing. You will see everything from skin tight 1960s style drainpipes through to super baggy skater pants or slouchy Fat Face Jeans.

There are some ghastly fashions that I hope we’ll never see again. Do you remember 1980s shoulder pads? Jackets became increasingly wide and hair became increasingly big throughout the 1980s. And what about leggings or what some people call ski pants? These were originally worn under another garment like a skirt or a pair of shorts but it soon became fashionable, in the 1980s, to wear them on their own.

Just as I wrote the last line (sat here at a caf© with my laptop) I looked up and say a young woman walking down the road wearing a pair of leggings. It just goes to prove my point that fashions tend to return no matter how awful they may have been. So my plan is to grow my hair into a huge Mullet and lay my hands on some skin tight stone washed 1980s jeans for that 1980s German look.

I recommend you take a look at Fat Face Clothing. Their exceptional range of casual clothes are really well made, very affordable and totally fashionable. Take a look at Fat Face Hoodies.
