From romantic slip skirts to grungy combat boots and cool biker shorts, some of the biggest trends of the past few decades are making unexpected fashion comebacks and slowly becoming an essential part of every trendy and fashionable wardrobe. Even though the fashion world loves to move forward, it seems like sometimes finding new ways to give retro trends a fresh and modern spin is the best way to create that effortlessly fashionable and timeless style.
So, here are some of the biggest fashion throwbacks that make for perfect additions to your closet:
Stylish bomber jackets
Whether they were made from nylon or leather, bomber jackets reached the peak of their popularity during the mid ’80s. But thanks to leading streetwear and athleisure brands, they’re coming back in a big way, although in more modern, reinvented forms. From oversized to cropped styles, a wide array of silhouettes are gaining popularity, but instead of bright neon colors usually worn in the past decades, contemporary bomber jackets can usually be seen in toned-down, neutral shades, such as cream, army green and black. No matter which style you opt for, there’s no denying this trendy jacket is going to be a must-have when spring comes around.
Sporty bike shorts
Even though some pop culture icons, such as Madonna and Princess Diana, used to be big fans of bike shorts back in the day, we never really thought this style will return to the spotlight. However, as famous designers and big fashion houses started to incorporate bike shorts into their runway looks, they became an essential part of every trendy street style wardrobe. Whether they’re worn with oversized sweatshirts and sweaters for a laid-back, casual look or even paired with tailored blazers and leather jackets for a more edgy vibe, bike shorts are a great addition to any cozy and comfortable look.
Ultra feminine slip skirts
Feminine, sexy and universally flattering, printed slip skirts, such as the beautiful Olivia Von Halle skirts, are making a huge comeback. What many fashionistas believe should become a wardrobe staple every girl must have in her closet, silk slip skirts are as timeless and versatile as they are beautiful. Whether they’re paired with camis, basic blouses and plain white tees during spring and summer or even combined with chunky knits during the colder months, slip skirts are an ideal option for those seductive, yet incredibly chic and elegant outfits.
Comfortable mom jeans
An extremely popular style during the ‘90s, mom jeans are slowly making their way into every fashionable closet, and for a good reason. Not only are these jeans airy and comfortable, but they also accentuate the waist beautifully and suit almost every body type perfectly. Incredibly practical and surprisingly versatile, breathable mom jeans are something we all need in our wardrobe, and it’s about time they were revived and became such an essential trendy item.
Edgy combat boots
From the early punk movements to the trendy ‘90s grunge aesthetics, combat boots were a staple among the alternative youth over the last few decades. However, the popular Doc Martens style of footwear is slowly making a comeback and becoming a must-have among the mainstream fashion world as well. From slip dresses and skirts to cuffed jeans and leather leggings, even our favorite fashion bloggers and influencers are incorporating combat boots into chic and stylish everyday looks. Functional, versatile and undeniably cool, combat boots are an ideal addition to funky street style outfits, as long as you know how to pull them off.
Chic round glasses
What was once considered nerdy and goofy has now made a big comeback in the most fashionable way possible. The iconic round shape started off as an essential sunglasses style, but it has slowly become the most popular option among prescription glasses as well. If you want to give some revived ‘90s trends a try, without completely opening up the time capsule, then incorporating some chic round shades into your everyday look, whether in the form of cool sunglasses or cute prescription glasses, is the perfect place to start.
From carefully chosen ‘80s fads to some seriously edgy ‘90s styles, old trends are making a huge comeback this year, and are an ideal addition to any cool and stylish modern wardrobe.
