Q of the Day: What was Your Favorite Fashion Trend Decade(s)

Tweet

Each decade seemed to have a fashion trend which caught on and became really popular. The roaring Twenties had the "Flapper Girls" with their knee length loose fitting fringe dresses, usually decorated with beads or feathers. The Thirties influenced by Hollywood icons saw a slick look where those who could dressed like they were attending the Academy Awards. Mink stoles, silky gowns, and wavy hair set the tone. The Forties saw woman working in factories while the men were off to war, so head scarfs to keep their hair in place made sense and made a statement too. The Fifties with girls wearing polka dot skirts and guys leather jackets said fun, fun, fun... Well, you get the idea. Fashion trends come and go with each decade, and sometimes come back as a "retro" style. My favorite fashion period was during the 60's when I was a youngster, first with the "mod" style brought over from Britain, and then the hippie counterculture movement which brought in a whole different fashion. I remember buying a "peacoat" which had that naval look in H.S., then when I went to college embracing the hippie tie-dyed bell bottoms, jeans jacket, and earth shoes.
