Memorable Fabulous Clothing: Hot Fashion Trends & Clothes Of A Bygone Era

Twentieth century fashion trends have become the hit styles of the 21st century. The most successful fashion designers base a good number of their designs on vintage fashion and style. They tend to re-create fabulous clothing of a bygone era, blending it with a modern twist.

Fashionistas must certainly notice this in cuts and styles of top couture creations, and the beautiful ways they are moulded to fit into the present times, the modern woman's temperament, and the general hot fashion trends.

Clothing styles of some periods may have been relegated to the archives history with some bespoke ones good only as display in the museums of classic arts, yet fabulous styles such as the poodle skirt, one of the top fashion styles of the 1970's; are resurfacing in forms of fashionable trendy swirling gowns with floor sweeping hems and chic ruffles, or divine mini skirts that are full and flared.

Fabulous Clothing that Withstands the Test of Time

Some of the hot fashion trends of the past century that has inspired creations of hot and fabulous clothing for the 21st century:

• Mini dresses and skirts
• Platform shoes, block heels and kitten heels
• Denim skirts and jackets
• Little black dresses
• Flared pants
• Chic maxi dresses, both fitted and flowing

The fifties fashion trends was characterised by the popular pencil skirts. An American first lady, Jackie Kennedy made pencil skirts very popular and today this style still flatters most shapes and makes the hips look sleek, and legs appear longer.

By the 1960's, skirts started to reduce in length culminating in the popular mini style by 1965.

This was a time when the quintessential girlie look of the 60's evolved, a time when slim cuts and simple lines that was characterised by tubular or A-line skimpy dresses, gave way to flared and pencil cut skirts of the past.

Fabulous clothing and stylish creations produced by designers like the British fashion icon Mary Quant and celebrities like Twiggy, and boutiques such as Biba and Miss Mouse that promoted and retailed them played major roles in endorsing the new, more relaxed and colourful clothing for fashionable women.

Fashionistas were crazy about platform shoes and maxi dresses in the 1970's. It was the rave!

And though platforms were "chunky", and looked somewhat awkward, every woman had at least a couple of pairs when the style first emerged.

This was also the time that heralded hot disco scenes.

The seventies heralded the emergence of fabulous clothing in form of midi and maxi dresses and skirts, hot pants, and full length flowing gowns that was always a great trend for a night out.

Sexy jeans went from the smart or sporty wear that was also a casual ranch weekend wear, to a hot fashion trend that became a sexy and chic glamorous wardrobe must have.

Minimalism was the hot fashion trend of the 90's, and this simply means 'less is more'.

Lycra played a prominent role during this bygone era and fashion designers offered fashionable women a sleek neutral look.

Other fabulous clothing trends such as hip-hop and Goth styles also made an impression on fashion throughout the 1990's.
