Throwback trends are a big part of fashion and pop culture today.
Things like pastels, graphic tee shirts, and athletic wear are some of the biggest trends right now. Old trends seem to come back for many reasons, and it’s interesting to see what styles made a comeback.
Sophomore Sophia Townsley said, “As new generations are born, and as they learn about the past, they start to be interested in the past styles and want to bring them back.” This shows that curiosity about the past sparks interest in old trends, especially when younger people find out about them.
Guidance Counselor Christina Zuniga also believes that movies and TV shows play a big role in making old trends popular again, she said, “Movies and TV shows bring them back.”
Many people remember different favorite fashion trends from when they were younger.
School Store Manager Christine Buontempo remembers bell-bottom pants. “I think it’s cool to see it come back.” She enjoys seeing younger generations embrace fashion from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
However, there are also trends from the past that people would not wear again. For example, Mrs. Buontempo admitted she wouldn’t wear pinstripe pants.
Similarly, Ms. Zuniga said, “The goth style is something from my past that I would not wear again.”
Some trends just seem to stay timeless. Sophomore Connor Laverick pointed out that ripped jeans still look good today. This style has remained popular for years and continues to be a favorite among many.
Junior Arabella Holmes said that she enjoys seeing low-rise jeans comeback as they are one of her favorite throwback trends.
Throwback trends are constantly being revived. Whether it’s through curiosity, social media, or just the style’s timeless nature, older fashion and trends will always find a way to come back.
Arabella added, “I like throwback trends” because they can be both fun and stylish.
