Fashion
History always repeats itself. In politics, government, culture, language and of course, fashion. Just 11 years into the 21st century and we've already seen a plethora of historical style staples, that we thought were long-gone come back to command the attention of ‘modern high society' magazines like Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Vanity Fair. From pin-curls and swing dresses to leggings and large cut-off sweaters, new threads are never as new as they may seem. With all our goggling eyes and excited Saturday trips to local malls and stores, the most anticipated ensembles this fall and winter, have already been enjoyed by most of our parents, and even grandparents depending on just how young you are. But that doesn't have to stop us from putting our own generational finishing touches on them. Our boots are higher, because we're a little bolder (and maybe less intelligent, depending on how long you'll endure those six-inch stiletto heels). Our dresses are shorter, because we're battling the objectification of our bodies, you know—the objectification that happened without our permission. The stuffy, blocky Hillary Clinton suits (we still love you, Mrs. Clinton) are being thrown-out in exchange for flowy wide-legged pants and fitted blouses. Our pants are tighter…well, when we think of ‘Grease, maybe our pants aren't that much tighter.
What will you saunter the runways (ok, sidewalks…enough of the dramatics) of Bronco-land wearing in the coming months? The Voice has a few suggestions.
Shawls and poncho style coats
The draped, throw-on coats, made popular in the ‘60s, were given an inch in early August, and stole more than a few feet by the time September rolled in. Paired with jeans and turtle-neck sweaters, or winter dresses and boots, these classic coats can take the average outfit and make it resemble something Diana Ross or Jackie O'Nassis would've worn.
Color-blocking
This super-‘80s trend has reared its head, and though some vow never to fall victim to it again, brands like Express and ASOS are offering color-blocked dresses or outfits in their fall and winter collections or inventory. One-pieces or dresses tend to look better color-blocked, as sometimes trying to accomplish it with an outfit can go horribly wrong.
Extra-wide legged slacks and jeans
A favorite amongst the cool, calm, career-oriented women of New York City, extra-long, extra-wide legged slacks and jeans just scream classy. They're comfortable, and appropriate for the office the movies or to an evening play. They pair well with little tops or professional blouses and can be dressed down with kitten heels or up with higher, power-pumps.
Giant cut-off sweaters
This summer, cut-off tops were all the rage. Now, big cut-off sweaters are…all the rage. These tops are quite oxymoronic, with their large, baggy presence allowing a bit of belly, or hip-area to show. Paired with leggings, or skinny jeans and boots, and maybe a scarf or hat to accessorize, they make for a well-put-together ensemble, that doesn't look very put-together. Effortless style.
