How trends change throughout the years

 

As one goes to the mall, they see many different outfits in windows or what other people are wearing in the store. People will see things they like, as well as things they as do not like. Wearing clothes one feels both comfortable and stylish is possible.

Throughout history, there have been many different trends, some that do not last long, while there are others that make a surprise comeback.

According to Henrik Vejlaard on henrikvejlgaard.com trends normally last a year, and are said to come back about twenty years later. Wanting to be ‘in’ is completely normal, however knowing what will be in is difficult to know sometimes.

“2017, I think, is going to follow 2016, whereas the jean shirts are coming back in and trends from decades ago are coming back, the flannels, the chokers are definitely going to be seen,” said teacher English Keely Thode.

Fashion with winter approaching, students are seen with even different styles from summer.

“I think this winter will see dark eye shadows, dark lipsticks, and clothes that pop out,” said junior Tiaira Adams.

Dark clothing originated from the idea that with dark clothes, it’s easier to be seen against snow.

“The first impression we give is sometimes based on the clothes we wear, and we make a bigger impression when we wear clothes out of the social norm. It’s really cool when we wear things that we are comfortable in and still seen as stylish and then we create trends ourselves,” Adams said.

Trends come and go, and the trends people see is because of what society sees celebrities or large groups of people wearing

“Trends are really based on what we see people wearing, so if we ever question whether something is stylish, wear it anyway because then you could possibly make it a trend,” Adams said.

To teens, it is important to feel stylish in what they are wearing but it’s important to wear clothes that is in they also feel comfortable in.

“Students often stress about what is ‘in’ and what to wear, and I think it’s important to wear what we like and what we are comfortable in,” said psychology teacher Catherine Dodd.
