There are a lot of innovative modern ideas that come out in the fashion world every year, but much of what you see walking down the runways and dancing across the night clubs actually originated many years in the past. While new styles are developed each year, bits and pieces of fashion past also come back into style.
In most cases, those bits and pieces of fashion past are blended into modern concepts so they appear to almost be new ideas entirely. Or, in some cases a blast from the past will come back in full color without any modern tones at all.
So, what are the bits and pieces of fashion past being picked up in our current fashion world? You might be a bit shocked at some old trends reappearing for 2011. Check them out and consider jumping on board to make your own fashion statement with a historical influence.
Retro Accessories
Accessories are an important aspect of fashion because they can make or break an outfit. You can have the most fabulous shirt and pants on but look completely out of place simply because your necklace is the wrong length or your boots look too dingy.
There are some flashbacks to the past being seen all around the world today with retro accessories. This is especially true with retro sunglasses. We have all seen those oversized frames walking into work or going out the door for a Saturday hike. These glasses are ultra fab right now, but they are also a flashback to the early days of sunglasses. It wasn't long ago that everyone was wearing small cat eye shaped frames, but today retro oversized is the way to make a statement or just blend in with all the other fashion glams.
Another retro accessory that is being seen a lot in modern times is the tie. Not only do men now walk out with really thin pencil ties that are reminiscent of years past, but women are throwing on ties as well, typically with their vests which are fashion statements from the past as well.
One final accessory from the 80s that you will be seeing a lot of is the fat belt. Look for them around businesswomen and slung around the hips of teenagers.
Colors & Prints from the Past
Don't be surprised to walk into a college classroom and see a mini skirt that looks like it was made from a 1980s tablecloth. Or, you can easily walk into any business office right now and find at least a few fashion forward (or backward?) businesswomen wearing the bright, loud color palette last seen in the 80s. This is because bright colors and bold patterns rich with contrasting shapes is coming back in style right now.
You can see a lot of this reemerging trend on the the Sex in the City movies, but the influence is quickly trickling down to the masses so you can see it on any city street or country sidewalk as well.

Why do trends come back into fashion?
Trends often come back into fashion because they offer a sense of nostalgia, creativity, and a fresh twist on familiar styles. Here’s why this happens: Nostalgia and Emotional Connection: Fashion has a unique way of bringing back memories. When people see styles from past decades, like the 70s flares or 90s grunge, it brings back memories or a certain "vibe." Designers and brands pick up on this, and they reintroduce these styles to connect with those emotions. Cultural Influence and Media: Movies, TV shows, and social media often feature past styles, making them popular again. When celebrities or influencers wear vintage-inspired looks, it creates demand, especially among younger generations curious about styles they didn't experience firsthand. Recycling and Sustainability: In today’s eco-conscious world, reusing styles and trends makes fashion more sustainable. Vintage shopping and upcycling clothes have become popular, making older trends fashionable while reducing waste. Timeless Appeal: Some styles have a universal appeal that just doesn’t go out of fashion. Trends like denim jeans, leather jackets, or little black dresses are often refreshed with slight changes to fit modern tastes, but their core style remains timeless. In short, trends come back because they blend the old with the new, allowing people to enjoy the best of past and present styles while adding a personal twist.

Yes because fashion trends come and go and it is not meant to last. A few months from now, you have to buy a new wardrobe because current the trend is out of style. Think about the suspender tights. It's the current fashion trend but 6 months to a year from now, I guarantee you that no woman will be seen wearing them. Think about the jersey dress back in 2003? How long did that last? Or the high waisted skirts from 2010? How long did that last? If you are going to spend money on fashion, spend it on something that you can still wear years to come. I've been wearing t-shirts and jeans all my life and still in style. Don't get stuck on this keeping up with the Jone's mentallity. Purchase what your budget only allow you.

Fashion has indeed evolved throughout the years. Fashion is like a big circle, syles come back, and then they go out of style once again. Ex: skinny jeans were a big hit in the 70s, today they're an even bigger hit! Fashion has changed in the sense of "the more updated look",but they still take the same concepts from back then to inspire new styles.
