3 TRENDS THAT ARE BACK IN FASHION
In today’s article, I will be sharing with you the list of Trends that are back in Fashion.
We often feel happy or sad when clothes that were trendy 10 or 20 years ago come back into fashion again.
But when creating a new collection, fashion designers are often inspired by trends that are centuries or even millennia old.
So, the Sumerians decorated their clothes with fringe, and dresses with slashed sleeves were considered chic in the Tudor court.
At Bright Side, we studied the history of fashion and found elements of modern clothes that have been adopted from the fashion of past centuries.
Clothes have been decorated with fringe since Sumerian times.
During the time of the Sumerians, women and men wore Kaunas.
A kanaka was a wrap skirt or dress decorated with a fringe.
To make the fabric look like real fur, tufts of rolled yarn or wool were threaded through the woven cloth.
These clothes often left one shoulder open.
Sumerian motifs can still be found in the collections of modern fashion designers.
Puffy sleeves have remained popular for the last 100 years.
Ladies have worn puffy sleeves for centuries.
In the 19th century, a new silhouette came into fashion — gigot, which means a leg of mutton.
This sleeve was very puffy around the shoulder, diminishing in size toward the elbow and becoming tight at the wrist.
More than 6 feet of fabric was used to make just one sleeve.
Because of these sleeves, it was sometimes difficult for a lady to pass through doorways or use their hands.
Some fashion critics even made fun of this trend.
Despite this, puffy sleeves are trendy even in present times.
Only noble Medieval ladies wore clothes with many layers.
In the Middle Ages, ladies used to wear dresses in various styles.
But there was one thing they had in common — many layers.
The more noble a woman was, the more layers of clothing she could wear, using luxurious fabrics.
One of the popular outfits was a tight-fitting gown, sometimes tied with a belt.
A surcoat, or a sleeveless overdress, was worn over a kirtle.
The outermost layer could be a coat.
Medieval trends can still be found in modern attire.
