Fades, Fads & Fashions

Today's fashions are fads which have cycled through history. For instant as I look at the shoes which are popular today such as the Adidas, Kswiss, White Girls, Converses, etc. These shoes were popular when I was a teen.

As a matter of fact the Timberlands (TIMS) were work boots at one time. I recall my father wearing similar boots to work. Some had steel toes and they were only available in black or brown. They were purchased because they were durable and reasonably priced.Today we call them TIMS and they are fashionable for boys and girls and they come in a variety of colors and styles. They are no longer a work boot but they make a fashion statement. The price is no longer reasonable but very expensive.

Teens are not concerned about the price but they want to be fashionable.Throwback shoes such as Adidas, Kswiss, White Girls, Converse, etc. are no longer at throwback prices. Even this blast from the past is expensive.

Platforms shoes, jellies (Candies), mall hair (big hair) pencil jeans (skinny jeans) all flash back fads from the past.Leggings were very popular in the 80's under mini skirts and knee shorts (Bermuda shorts).Now they are Capri’s. Long sweater wide waist belts and leggings and flat step-ins were a popular outfit in my wardrobe in the 80's. A Flash dance spinoff.

Fashion is a cycle everything that is popular today was popular way back then only differences the quality and texture. Today the styles are the same the 70's, 80's but today's youth have a wider array of color and textures.

Should of just saved my clothing and shoes for my teen daughter.
