The 7 Best Fashion Trends From The 1900's That Have Made A Comeback

The 1900's was a wild time. From the first and second World War, the stock market crash, the African American Civil Right's Movement, and the construction and demolition of the Berlin Wall, it was a busy time, but even during this busy time, the fashion industry was booming. Breaking free from other countries fashion expectations, America was finally setting their own trends or revamping others.

1. Chokers.

Choker's date back to the Sumer empire in Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt when they were worn for protection, but in the early 1900's they became a fashion statement. In American culture, they became popular with either a simple black ribbon or even strands of pearls. After the Art Deco era, they lost their popularity and were even known as "Dog Collars". It wasn't until 2015, that they really made a comeback.

2. High top converse.

Originating in the early 1900's, Chuck Taylor started selling these shoes for basketball. It wasn't until the 1980's that these became a must-have for fashion. In the early 2000's, trendsetters have rushed to grab the latest pair of low-tops, but in recent years, the revival of high-tops are prominent.

3. Crop tops.

Celebrities in the 1990's rocked the crop top and now, everyone's doing it. This fashion trend was revived in the mid-2010's and doesn't seem to be disappearing any time soon.

4. High-waisted jeans.

Glamourized by Hollywood, High Waisted jeans started their fame with Marilyn Monroe in the 1960's. From the 1960's on, High Waisted jeans popped in and out of stardom. In today's, fashion trends, you can catch these jeans on teens across the globe.

5. Velvet.

In the 1960's velvet was extremely popular among men and were known for the comfortable shirts and pants of that time. Now, it is seen everywhere and is popular in women's fashion. You can rock an all velvet outfit from your choker and crop top to your High Top Chuck Taylor's.

6. Fanny packs.

When fanny packs first entered the fashion world, these bags were popular among sports players like skiers to hold their lunches. In the 1980's to 1990's it became a vacation bag that was more accessible and lightweight holding things like money and maps but for today, it's that and more. You can see these on almost anyone walking the streets of Hollywood but maybe with an updated, more stylish version.

7. Clout goggles.

Known by a different name, 'The Kurt Cobain Glasses", Cobain brought these glasses into style. They were revived with "rappers" of this generation along with the new name of "Clout Goggles" attached to them.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
