Fashion Trends - Do You Know What Is Hot?

Now a days fashion and streetwear are becoming the same thing with mixes of styles that take influences from the past with a traditional style and look that is more reminiscent of the 50's or even the 20's along with a range of styles that are influenced by modern streetwear and youth culture from across the world.

It is now more the fashion for someone to have a range of different looks as opposed to one style. This means that a person could wear a designer suit one night, a colourful streetwear T-shirt the next and finish the week with a mix of the two.

Traditional types of clothes like trousers and a T-shirt are still extremely popular but the styles and details on them are what makes them different. Fashion designers like to add different types and styles of logos, so clothes can either have big artistic prints or small detailed logos.

New terms like Streetwear and Urbanwear have been invented to categorise these new clothing trends and styles. Streetwear is used to describe clothing inspired by the street lifestyle and often incorporate urban themes such as graffiti and life on the streets. Urbanwear and streetwear companies are often started by people from the street such as graffiti artists and skaters. Addict and Fly53 are two companies who have had success by developing their brands like this.

Retro looks from the 40's and 50's have made a big comeback in recent times. This has resulted in a serge in vintage clothes stores selling preowned clothes from different eras in time.

The popularity of retro vintage clothing has resulted in faux vintage clothing being produced and it has had a big impact on the fashion world as most people want the retro look at modern affordable prices but it can often be hard to find real vintage clothes.

Fashion designers have responded by producing replica clothing from the 1940's to the 1980's at cheap prices. This means that consumers can have nice retro apparel that fit comfortably, are affordable and it also means you don't have to go routing through your parents clothes in the attic.

Underwear has also become more important in the fashion industry and vintage lingerie is now a growing market. The rise and return of burlesque shows has resulted in more burlesque hosiery being produced and women are now buying seamed stockings, corsets and waist cinchers.
