Blast+from+the+past%3A+6+trends+that+made+a+comeback+in+2023

Fashion trends from a range of decades are becoming popular among teenage girls in 2023. Styles from the 70s and 80s have combined with recent trends to create a unique sense of style. Below is a list of six items that are making a comeback in the fashion industry. 

 

  1. Platform shoes became really popular this year. Converse is one of the more popular brands right now. They brought back the style and added their own twist with colors and patterns adding something modern to an old trend.  If Converse aren’t your thing, brands like Nike, Steve Madden, and Vans have also created platform shoes in their styles.                                                                                                                                                                                       
  2. Claw clips have become the perfect accessory for any look. With the variety of colors and styles offered, you can find a clip to go with any outfit. With their once again rising popularity, there are tutorials being made on social media for the best ways to wear a claw clip. Next time you’re looking for a cheap and trendy hairstyle that won’t do any damage check out a claw clip.                                                                                                                                             
  3. Baggy jeans have taken over as the more popular styles. Mom jeans, boyfriend jeans, and wide leg jeans are popular styles that everyone is wearing. Popular places to buy these jeans are American Eagle, Shein, and Abercrombie and Fitch.                                                                                                                                                                     
  4. Flare leggings have started to fill up stores. You can find them at Lululemon, Aerie, and  Target. These pants are perfect for any outfit and can be dressed up or dressed down.                                                                                                 
  5. Matching sets are another modern twist on the old trends. Sweat Suits were in style for the 80s but matching sets are a popular choice for teen girls today. Oftentimes a sweatshirt is paired with shorts or sweatpants. To create this trendy, monochromatic look you can look at White Fox, H&M or even Amazon.                                                        
  6. Maybe hairstyles are coming back from decades like the 70s and 80s. Tik tok has influenced many to purchase hair tools or cut their hair a certain way. Beach wavers have been a highly sold hair tool in the last few months. Many are trying to achieve a loose crimp, creating a twist on the popular crimped style from the 80s.  Curtain bangs are another popular haircut many teen girls have asked their stylists for this year.
