Retro Revival: Nostalgic Fashion Trends Making a Comeback

From '90s streetwear to '70s boho-chic, fashion trends of 2023 are making their way back around and revisiting styles that have circulated for decades. Who would have thought that your favorite fashion piece was actually loved and worn way back when? Join us on a journey through the revival of cherished styles, and learn how to add a touch of nostalgia to your 2023 fashion.

 

After the premiere of Annie Hall in 1977, the 70s were flooded with ladies rocking a vest over a brightly colored shirt and tie. Nowadays, we’re ditching the shirt underneath and wearing a structured vest as a top instead. 

 

 

What’s the first fashion trend that comes to mind when you think of the 80s? Shoulder pads! Oversized, boxy blazers were all the rage in the 80s thanks to icons such as Whitney Houston. Flash forward to 2023 and the oversized blazers are making a comeback for the ultimate corporate chic. 

 

 

The motto of the 80s when it comes to jewelry was the chunkier the better, inspired by the decade’s hip-hop culture. And we’re still loving this in 2023 with the revival of chunky gold chain necklaces, bulky rings and statement hoops. 

 

 

Bootcuts made a revival after the resurgence of bands like The Stone Roses in the late 80’s, with members rocking the signature trousers on tour. Today the fashion scene continues to embrace and adore flared jeans for their timeless and versatile appeal.

 

 

The slip dress is an elegant and minimalist style that transcends decades, as proven by icons such as the beautiful Kate Moss and even Princess Diana herself. Nowadays, the piece can be dressed up for a sophisticated dinner or dressed down for a touch of feminine edge. 

 

Who wore it best? The timeless elegance of the decades or the modern look of 2023 fashion? And what do you think will be coming back next?
