I Long For a Return of the 'Cary Grant Style’
Unless you’ve watched the TV Series “Mad Men”, you may not realize men used to dress so much more stylishly (and in my opinion, more attractively). The last time I was out about town, the only man I saw wearing a hat was a yellow baseball hat, turned the wrong way. Instead of being dressed up, he had a t-shirt with large letters that said, “Got Milk?” His look was completed with a gaudy chain and sloppy jeans that were three sizes too big; along with high-top tennis shoes in multiple colors. Both his hat and his sneakers looked like they would glow in the dark. Sexy? NOT! Oh, how I long for the day before t-shirts that are walking billboards; when men had class and style! If I could have one fashion wish, iit would be to bring back classy suits and Fedoras for men.

Bring Back the High-Waist Belt!
Whenever I hear about returning fashion trends, I hope and pray that these do not include the resurgence of low-rise jeans. That look was popular during my high-school days, which were entirely consumed with worrying about my stomach flab and constantly tugging at my belt loops until they broke. I know there must be a few people out there who would disagree with me, but in no world would I ever consider the muffin top - plumber-butt duo a good fashion trend! I was very glad when the low-rise waist quickly changed to the opposing high-waist option. But so common is it for us to bicker over pant rise. My favourite fashion trend does not focus so much on pants, but what goes on top! Some may think I’m a little unstable for wanting to see this trend return, but I just can’t deny my true love…

Let's Go Back To The Days of The 1980s
The 80s is my favorite decade, I never got to experience that being born in 1995, but I can appreciate what that decade did for ten years in the transition from the 70s. When I was little, my mother still had her clothes from her days in the 80s. I got to see her bright colored shirts and puffy sleeve dresses. I got to wear her scarlet shoulder padded dress around the house. As I got older, anything I wanted was on my retro radar from music to movies. I listened to the one hit wonders and watched all the movies to see the styles. For two years in a row at my high school for the decade day of spirit week, I dressed up as Don Johnson from Miami Vice. I wore white pants, a bright blue shirt and a neon green blazer, and of course, I had a pair of ray bans to finish the look. If there is a style that I want to see make a comeback in the trends, its the looks of the 1980s.

I can’t do my buttons!
Do you know how memories can just come and smack you in the face unexpectedly? Last weekend I was in the midst of a perfect storm. Grieving the recent loss of my father and wallowing in self pity, I had begun hating my reflection and feeling as heavy as an elephant. In a snap decision I decided to break out the comfiest and least fashion forward outfit in my wardrobe. A simple pair of black denim dungarees.

Orginal Grunge Kids
What started as just being yourself became something entirely different than it was meant to be. When we look at grunge, we might have a flood of different ideas and look in our own head based on experience and age. Like most fashions, something had to start from environment and circumstances or class. If someone was to look at grunge fashion back in the nineties when it was at its peak, they might be calling these people hippies, punks, hooligans, bad kids, no-good. You might be right, but you could wear just about anything and still be any of those types of people. I bet when you think of grunge, you also think of your parent's favorite bands they grew up with or maybe even your favorite bands you grew up with or are just discovering.

Sweet Nostalgia
I don’t really get nostalgic in the way most people do. I don’t go pining for what were better days, I don’t see something or hear a song and sigh, but I do miss certain trends. I’m going to pick a trend I miss for myself and one that I miss for women (I hope this doesn’t sound sexist).

That Closet Must Need A Cleaning
Everyone has that favorite t-shirt or those pair of jeans that they remember were the coolest ever, back in the day. Remember those days? The concert t-shirts that everyone used to wear, the flared out jeans that either had those amazing, wild prints or patterns, or even the hand-painted graphics on the legs, the ripped up style kind.

Fashionista? Nope, not really.
Let us start with this amazing song. Whether you like the song or not...I need you to watch it long enough to see Mariah Carey’s outfit. I tried to find a high quality image of it on the webs of the internet and was unsuccessful. So here we are!

Fashion Looks from the '70s: The Most Influential Decade for Style
In the last decade, fast fashion has completely taken over the retail industry, with companies like H&M and Fashion Nova being dominant players. The convenience and affordability have consumers hooked, but in the process, we’ve developed a herd-like mentality when it comes to style.
