The 00's

The 00's have a lot of major fashion trends which were very unique, like the Chinese slippers which often came in every colour, and were worn for nearly every occasion and for all ages.

So-called "Chinese slippers."

Girls loved to wear matching jogging outfits in mostly pink and they were worn with big jewellery and often weren't worn for working out, and mostly worn as a fashion statement.

All the rich girls and cool moms had the Juicy Couture velour jogging suits, and everyone else had the off-brand version.

Shiny trousers were also really popular and most girls loved to pair this with a matching shiny short sleeved top in a slight different shade, to give a classier feel. This trend was mostly worn by teenagers.

Shiny pants. Or worse, shiny cargo pants.

1990's

The fashion in the 1990's was toned down a lot from the previous decade and was made more classier. The main fashion items were over sized jumpers, leggings, turtle necks, and a lot of denim was also featured as well. Younger women often wore what their mums wore when they were their age.  I found that block colours were often worn and not very many patterns featured either.

Boyfriend jeans sometimes held up with a black or brown belt, or sometimes they were elasticated by the waist were mainly paired with everything, denim jackets, oversized sweaters, and blouses. Denim jeans with a long Denim jacket and a thick brown or black belt was also very popular and was often worn by a lot of teenage girls.

1980's

The decade of tight trousers and leg warmers. Every outfit worn was normally neon coloured and sometimes consisted of a jumper, mini skirt and leg warmers all together. Women generally loved to make the appearance of the shoulders a lot broader than what they originally are as it looked more higher class and bigger.





Mini skirts were also very popular and they were normally paired with neon coloured leggings and some bright coloured heels. For the hair, back combed and big hair was really popular with this style. To go with these, was big earrings, whether thats hoops, or giant triangles.

The 1970s Part 2 - Feminism



Feminism has been a big problem for many years, the un equality and oppressive. Its second nature to just think that men dominate women and that men are higher than men, maybe its because they 'act stronger' or because women are known as 'weak' for some reason. I feel that all women are sisters and should all stand tall and both genders should be equal and fair on both sides, no-one higher than the other, not men being allowed to do some things which women aren't allowed to do, just fair between both genders. Women are just as strong as men, if not in some circumstances stronger but that because all have weaknesses and strengths, thats life.



Most people in the world accept the traditional gender rolls which is un fair and this shouldn't be the case because we should all be supporting each other in the best and strongest way.

Postmodernism and the 1970's



In the 1970s, Fashion was very unique and slightly on the crazy side. They liked to put colours together which wasn't normal back then and they women who did were known for being high fashion statements. Healed boots were also a popular thing in this decade along with wild print. Tye dyed top were very popular in this time period which is actually coming back in to the fashion trends which is known as the hipster trend which feature tie dye and bright un matching colours.


Both men and women liked to wear tight jumpsuits this was for people who were very slim and had a curvy figure. They had a zip of the front and would be paired with a belt around the wait to add more a look to the outfit. As you as can see this was a very colourful era and was adored for its weirdness.

Geometric patterns were very popular in the fashion world around this time. Most women had their own unique style and colours/patterns which they liked to wear and feel most confident in.



1960's fashion was very elegant with a bit of an edge to it with the eyeliner and the and the monochrome feel. This monochrome black and white skater skirt style dress is coming back into fashion. Being paired with the black belt and the white gloves gives it that classier feel to the look. Professional shots for women were also popular at the time.

The main hair style for the 1960s was shoulder length and normally kept into very healthy and tidy condition but sometimes messy looking up do hair was also worn to give more of an edgey feel.


The Street style was more of a basic look of a t-shirt type dress and the classic shoulder length hair with a slight fringe. For accessories the basic thin necklace looks elegant to bring the outfit together.

I would say that quite a lot of the style is coming back in to the fashion trends now like the t-shirt dress, messy buns and skater skirt dresses.
