The Everyday College Fashionista: Fashion Trends Then & Now

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Valdosta chapter.

Fashion trends are always evolving and, as we all know, what is “IN” this year very well may not be “IN” next year. That’s what a trend is all about: something that is forever changing or going in a different direction. But what some may not know is that certain styles are often recycled. The various trends that occurred in different eras do reappear decades later! Take a look at these fashion trends that were popular then and are popular now!
