Fashion\u00a0trends have\u00a0changed dramatically over the years.\u00a0In the \u201960s and \u201970s, people experimented with\u00a0styles\u00a0such as bell-bottom pants, unbuttoned shirts, and flowing jumpsuits all of which were influenced by\u00a0music\u00a0and social movements in those decades.
\nBy the \u201980s and \u201990s, people favored\u00a0celebrity\u00a0-inspired ensembles, especially those worn by style icons like Naomi Campbell and the late\u00a0Princess Diana\u00a0.
\nThroughout the 2000s, designers have borrowed heavily from clothing trends in past decades.
\nIn 2019, for example,\u00a0\u201990s\u00a0trends like slip dresses,\u00a0animal print\u00a0, and\u00a0tiny handbags\u00a0are popular again.
\nThe very nature of fashion trends is to come and go.
\nJumpsuits, for example, have gone in and out of style\u00a0since the \u201970s, and\u00a0overalls have recently made a comeback\u00a0since becoming popular in the \u201990s. Despite this constant flux, there\u2019s always at least one trend that takes over the fashion world every year.
\nFrom halter-neck swimsuits that were popular in the 1950s to the comeback of printed suits throughout the 2000s, keep reading to see the fashion trends that were all the rage .
\n1950s: Summer attire was extremely popular.
\nWomen\u2019s fashion in the 1950s was all about\u00a0fitted waists, halter tops, and wearing summer attire all year long,\u00a0according to Vintage Dancer, a style website and online store\u00a0created by author Debbie Sessions\u00a0, who researches the history of fashion.
\nPeople also favored rompers and high-waisted pants that were designed to complement swimwear.
\n1960-1961: Matching coats and dresses were all the rage.
\nIn the early \u201960s, many people still sported styles that were popular in the \u201950s. During this time, women often layered loose-fittingcoats over matching dresses and completed their ensembles with coordinating hats, gloves, and short heels.
\n1962: During her time as First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis helped popularize pillbox hats.
\nWomen wore tailored coats, elbow-length gloves, and strapless gowns all of which became\u00a0huge fashion trends in the \u201960s and \u201970s\u00a0.
\n1963: Bow collars came into style.
\nBow collars were commonly worn by\u00a0women entering male-dominated work fields\u00a0in the early \u201960s. The look was said to blend masculine and feminine styles.
\nThe style is still worn frequently today sometimes even as a\u00a0political fashion statement\u00a0.
\n1964: In the mid-\u201960s, people wore fitted clothing in bold colors.
\nDuring this time, neutral colors were replaced by daring prints and\u00a0fitted silhouettes gave way to more loose-fitting tailoring.
\nSheer fabric was also used more commonly throughout the 1960s.
\n1965: The mod trend spread from the UK to the rest of the world.
\nMod, short for modernism, was a subculture known for its\u00a0focus on music and style\u00a0. The mod movement is said to have originated from a small group of\u00a0London-based young men who listened to modern jazz\u00a0, according to the BBC.
\nMen who participated in the movement often dresses sharply,\u00a0donning tailored suits and sophisticated ensembles\u00a0inspired by British R&B and rock bands.
\n1966: Women\u2019s fashion was also influenced by the mod movement.
\nRather than wearing sleek suits, women donned\u00a0polka-dot ensembles, black-and-white paneled dresses, and\u00a0boots\u00a0inspired by the streamlined designs of\u00a0Andr Courrges\u00a0, among others.
\n1967: Miniskirts were everywhere.
\nBut the style was rarely worn over bare legs. Instead,\u00a0women often styled short skirts with colorful tights\u00a0, fishnets, and other hosiery.
\n1968: People loved wearing styles inspired by the film \u201cBonnie and Clyde.\u201d
\nThough the film was released a year prior in 1967,\u00a0fashion inspired by \u201cBonnie and Clyde\u201d was still prominent throughout 1968\u00a0. In particular, men often wore pinstripe suits paired with hats in solid colors.
\n1969: Women began swapping colorful tights for knee-high boots.
\nMany shoes from this period featured\u00a0short and chunky heels, were made of leather, and reached just above the knee\u00a0.
\n1970: Hippie-inspired pants and mod-style shirts were popular at the start of the \u201970s.
\nAccording to Vintage Dancer, fashion in this decade\u201d\u00a0couldnt decide what direction to take or what past decade to emulate.\u00a0\u201d As a result, men wore a mix of everything, including turtlenecks, neck scarves, and wide-legged pants.
\n1971: The following year, halter necklines became trendy again
\nThe neckline was seen as risqu at the time. However, it was still commonly found in a variety of ensembles,\u00a0including jumpsuits, dresses, and swimsuits\u00a0.
\n1972: Rather than following a single trend, people aimed to dress in a way that expressed their individuality.
\nThroughout 1972,\u00a0 people blurred the lines between men\u2019s and women\u2019s fashion.\u00a0They also merged styles from previous decades.
\n1973: Disco styles started to emerge from the fashion industry.
\nThis year, men often wore\u00a0bell-bottom pants and platform shoes\u00a0.
\n1974: Both men and women donned suits.
\nWomen\u2019s suits featured a wide range of styles in 1974.\u00a0Suit-style dresses became fashionable\u00a0, as did suit jackets paired with skirts.
\nMost popular style for men at the time was \u201cleisure suits.\u201d The style was meant to look casual and be worn \u201c\u00a0anywhere but in the office or on formal occasions\u00a0.\u201d
\n1975: Everyone wanted to wear a jumpsuit.
\nSince disco-inspired styles were still popular in 1975,\u00a0many jumpsuits featured wide-legged pant legs and voluminous sleeves\u00a0.
\n1976: Dresses that buttoned in the front became trendy.
\nThe style was a nod to the \u201920s, when\u00a0buttons were sewn onto dresses to create a nautical aesthetic.
\n1977: Styles that left the skin exposed were popular.
\nIn 1977, it was common practice for men to\u00a0fasten only the bottom-most button of their suits\u00a0and shirts.
\nSimilarly,\u00a0women gravitated toward bikinis with plunging necklines\u00a0at the time.
\n1978: Clothes were designed for dancing.
\nDisco music continued to rise in popularity at the end of the \u201970s, and\u00a0the release of movies like \u201cSaturday Night Fever\u201d\u00a0allowed the music-inspired fashion trend to stay strong.
\n1979: People in the punk subculture wore ripped jeans and leather.
\nPunk fashion originated in the UK around 1975\u00a0and continued to influence clothing trends toward the end of the decade and into the \u201980s.
\n1980: Bold, bright colors were fashionable at the start of the \u201980s.
\nWomen also wore a mix of fitted and loose styles throughout 1980\u00a0, and paired their ensembles with chunky jewelry.
\n1981: Everyone wore clothes with voluminous shoulders.
\nEverything from\u00a0dresses to blouses featured puffy shoulders\u00a0in the early 1980s.
\n1982: The go-to color combination was black and white.
