Fashion f lashback: Retro style pieces making a comeback
F
ashion has a way of reinventing itself and evolving, borrowing silhouettes from bygone eras and reimagining them as contemporary fashion pieces that embody a sense of classic style. Have your eye on what’s on trend this year? You may be pleasantly surprised to see a few golden oldies on our list.
The return of the denim dungaree Denim dungarees were a closet staple in the 70s, but it’s 2022 and they’re back for their share of the spotlight. This year you’ll find long-sleeved versions, cropped styles and full-length renditions kitted out with pockets, mini belts and shirt-style collars. If you’re not a traditionalist when it comes to trends, you’ll find alternatives like cotton overalls and linen jumpsuits on shelves this year. The bottom line is that one-pieces are back and they’re here to stay. Dress them up, dress them down, but whatever you do, get the trend – it’s bound to keep reappearing. One-piece Suit Gillian – Open Blue, MANGO at Superbalist, R1 499.
Clogs – but more contemporary Clogs have a bulky silhouette that keeps reincarnating itself through the years. In the 90s we saw the return of conventional clogs in leather and suede. In the noughties, we saw them return with studs and embellishments. And this year, we’re getting a whole new perspective on this footwear trend, reimagined by Crocs in a patented material called Croslite™. With these clogs, you get the best of both worlds – the height and the bulkiness that is oh-so-in-fashion as well as the lightweight form and a key comfortability factor.
