Trends with Staying Power

Trends come and go but some stay forever and will always be in style and the leather Bomber jacket is one of these. This jacket that debuted during WWII, caught on with the 80s ear trendsetter like Madonna. It is see to be “chick and a little tough at the same time,” claims Valerie Steele, chief curator of the Fashion Institute of Technology. Hang onto your jacket if it has leather cuffs and not the knit ribbing ones and the cut flatters you. Another fashion with staying power is the Baby-Doll dress. This popular style from the 60s, the 80s and again recently, is a very forgiving look so will be around forever. Everyone from not-so-thin, to the very skinny, can all wear this and look great. Keep it if the shirt is not to billowiest which then borders on maternity gear and if it is made from long-wearing fabric like silk or wool. Platform shoes keep returning and for good reason. They are easy to walk in with a funky edge. And the feeling of being taller, is powerful. Keep them is the shoe is practical which is a four inch heel and one inch platform. Any higher will be tough to walk in and you could resemble RuPaul.
