Though many of us feel our generation's style is completely original, we cannot deny that many of our hip looks come from generations past. We have modernized these fashion statements into something we convince ourselves is our own creation. Yet, it is amusing to look back and compare how these unique trends have evolved and made their way back into each of our tastes. I think these are some of the most popular and surprising ones:
1. Crop Tops
Oh, and never forget Britney Spear's low-cut jeans crop top look! This style, though, has actually been around since the 1940's.
2. Chokers
Making a comeback in the past few years specifically, chokers have been made popular time and time again (despite sometimes looking like a dog collar).
3. Straight Hair
"They all think they're Veronica Lake."
I'm sure no one got my Major and the Minor reference; but it's true that when this hair style comes back, everyone has it.
4. High-Waisted Jeans
My parents were shocked with a hint of excitement to hear this style has come back. Though slightly different look from the 1980's, the same effect is reached.
5. The Cat Eye
Audrey Hepburn's exquisite cat eye has created a romantic, sultry look for women to model since the 1950's and 1960's. Clearly, plenty of women continue to copy this look today, especially on the red carpet.
6. Fanny Packs
Another style my parents (and I) were shocked came back...but hey, very convenient!
7. Off-the-Shoulder Tops
This style always seems to make a comeback, and rightfully so.
8. Scrunchies
Though this is certainly person-to-person based, I think scrunchies are one of the greatest inventions by man. They are colorful, don't dent your hair and make you look like a super fun human being!
9. Slip Dresses
From Hilary Duff to Anne Hathaway, women love slip dresses yet again after they became popular in the 1990's.
10. Sneakers
Statement sneakers have certainly become hip again for both genders and several ages.
I guess we'll have to see what other trends make their way back to our closets in years to come...
