Clothing styles and popular apparel fashions are constantly in flux, and the fashion world is continuously inundated with runway innovations and fly-by-night fads. Over the last century, fashion in the Western world in particular has experienced continual upheavals and major changes. From 1900 to 2000, popular fads have included such fashion statements as rear-enhancing bustles, short flapper dresses, wide-leg bell bottoms, and deliberately ripped jeans. Even though there are a lot of changes in fashion, that’s what gives the decades diversity.
Though the ages have changed and the people have moved on, some styles have come back and that’s what reminds us of the times past. The fashion runways are usually where the world gets re-introduced to an old fad. If an old style has been brought into a new decade it is updated and re-polished. But when fashion moves from one decade to the next, it rarely stays the same. Most people have a really hard time adjusting to new styles that are put out because they are so used to the “old” ones. When the style gets an opportunity to be re-introduced to a new era it usually skips a few decades before it gets the chance. Such as the rocker grunge look from the 80’s or the high-waisted skirts and dresses from the 40’s. When a fashion is re-introduced it needs some time to get completely washed out of style. If you bring a fashion back in a decade where it is not accepted yet… it will completely contrast with the time.
