Fashion World – With Raunisha Maxwell

Today’s fashion is nothing but a repeat, most people feel as if it’s the new thing, but what some don’t realize is that it’s happened before. We’re taking fashion cues from back from the 70’s, 80’s—even the 90’s and giving it our own little twist. Such styles as flared jeans resurfaced in the early 2000’s, but back in the day, they used to be called Bell Bottoms. They were hip, cool and very big at the bottom; a hot trend then, but hey it had to die down again. So, as the years went on, we went back wearing straight legs. We call them skinny legs now and they have completely taken over. Skinny legs come in all different forms, shapes, and sizes. They have short ones, long ones, cut-ups, tie-dyed, and all kind of animal prints. I can honestly say I have a few pair of each kind.

One fashion trend I thought would never make it back to the shelves, but it did, are leg warmers. Normally worn over your pants just below the knee and down to the ankle, it’s a winter accessory, but you can also wear them while you’re exercising; staying in style while trying to stay fit. I recently noticed that cut-up jeans were chic again. Back in the day people used to take old jeans and just cut them up themselves. Nowadays we actually buy them off the shelf like that. I remember my mama told me I was a fool and she could have done that for me for free, “yes hilarious”! But hey it’s the new IT style wouldn’t you say.

That leaves me to the good old Pencil-Skirt; a fashion staple I believe will never go out of style. Usually I see them worn by women working in the business field as part of their daily flair, or to interviews, and even meetings. So if you’re ever looking for an outfit to wear to an interview or just around the office, I would probably say, no, most definitely say, go with the Pencil-Skirt.

Styles will come and go in your lifetime. So if you have an old pair of acid wash jeans, or some “Flashdance” sweats, don’t get rid of them just yet; store it in the back of your closet. They may be going out of style now, but most likely it’ll be back in decade or so.
