Fashion is an ever changing phenomenon and this is the very reason people are so attracted to and adamant to follow all the latest fashions and trends. Every year newer ideas and styles are introduced; however this year seems to be a comeback of the retro. 2017 can be considered the year in which the 70’s and 80’s were reincarnated on the runway. Some of the popular vintage trends that made a comeback this year are:
- Embroidery on clothes and accessories
One of the vintage fashion statements that have become popular this year is embroidery. Even the most popular brands used embroidery in their spring and fall collections. This is not only limited to clothes but is also used on accessories like bags, jewelry, shoes and jackets.
- Band T-shirts
Another popular vintage trend that can be seen supported by famous celebrities like Alessandra Ambrosio, Lily Allen and Atlanta De Cadenet Taylor is the band tee shirts. One of the main reasons this trend is getting famous is that it can be followed by non-celebrities. Another benefit of these t-shirts is that you can wear them at any event. They look exceptionally good with jeans and skirts and in the winters you can wear them with a blazer to have a completely updated and trendy winter look.
- Denim
Another retro fashion that seems to have returned this year is denim. This trend includes ripped jeans, flared bottoms, denim on denim, jackets and button up skirts. The main advantage of this trend is that you can easily carry it in your daily routine and still look incredibly snazzy. You can also use jackets made of denim with semi-formal dresses and shirts.
- Chokers
One of the most popular vintage trends is the choker necklaces. These are basically fitted necklaces that are easily available in different materials, colors and designs. Even the most popular designers like Armani, Prada and Gucci have included choker necklaces in their collections. These are a great way to accentuate the neck and complement every dress possible.
- Intense sleeves
One of the most popular trends of 2017 that has been inspired from the past – these are the dramatic sleeves. One of the main reasons this trend has become so popular is because these loud and dramatic sleeves go with absolutely everything. In many fashion events of 2017 different famous designers were seen demonstrating the many ways in which sleeves can be made bigger and bolder and therefore more dramatic.
- Feathers as accessory
It has become very popular to use feathers for glamming up dresses. This is not just limited to clothes but feathers are now being used in stylish and innovative ways on jewelry, bags, scarves, bags and so on. Even the most famous brands are using feathers as accessories in their collection. This is especially true for designers like Alberta Ferretti and Prada. To make their collection more unique they use the feathers of exotic birds like ostriches, swans and so on.
Fashion trends are never entirely new, it is just the way they are approached and the innovative ways in which they are tweaked every season to stay contemporary and relevant. This is exactly how designers and fashionistas introduce old trends in a new and improved way. Above mentioned are a few vintage trends that are being reintroduced in 2017.
