Your style is not determined by modern fashion, classic styles, or someone else’s identity; it’s yours. Big-money fashion turns a cold eye to less popular designs and makes. Those companies are driven by sales and mass appeal. That is the antithesis of your look. Individuality is separation from commonality.
Long-standing clothing styles like Formal, Classic, Black-Tie, and Preppy could all be considered vintage. They are recycled versions of past fashion successes. Define some fashion styles with me.
- Formal wear incorporates elegant and tailored clothing for occasions and professional functions. Evening gowns, tuxedo, or choir attire are formal.
- Preppy is a 1990s recycled look from the 1940s. The inspirations here are nautical, Ivy League, and East Coast classics. Ralph Lauren brought this look back, and Underground Clothing fits this genre.
- Classic styles are called such due to the length of relevance or application. Classic styles may be included in many genres of fashion and remain relevant.
- Retro clothing is in the style of a preceding era, and vintage is the original period clothing itself.
- Punk fashion of the 1970s and ‘80s has been emulated in various post-era styles like grunge. Jeans, leather jackets, t-shirts, and flannel rule in this style. Check out brands Bowling for Soup, Undrground Clothing, and Casualties.
- Fan fashion is all about movies, mini-series shows or novelist fans emulating costume designs in their wardrobes. Cult Cinema Fashion is another term.
- Nerdism or conservative looks from the 1990s have not altered much from sweaters, buttoned collars, and khakis. Nerdy is a style-favoured brand, and Underground Clothing offers generational shopping.
- Tends in horror fashion are striking. Examples of these designs include elements of discomfort, shock, fear, and disgust.
- Flamboyant fashion comprises vivid colours and nonconventional style. Audacious and inventive combinations of print, patterns, and textures make statement wear.
- An obscure fashion is sci-fi. Elements of the imagination applied in horror fashion with added technical skills; bring alien fashion concepts to life.
What is in vogue is dependent on popularity during a specified time. Like attending a viewing of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” what is in vogue is dependent upon who is wearing or judging, and when. According to the repetition of fashion styles listed above, “vogue” is temporary and repetitive.
Your fashion is a means of expressing beliefs, traditions, or values. It also can reflect your attitude, motivation, or confidence. Don’t wear yourself out over fashion; wear your fashion out.
