I wish we would bring back baggy jeans. I know we currently have baggy jeans, but baggy jeans in the late ‘90s and early 2000s just hit differently. High waisted and cinched waists are my perfect pair of jeans. Especially if they are baggy. I hate when pants cling to my skin.
‘90s fashion was, in my opinion, the peak of fashion. It was the perfect amount of vibrant colors and prints but also had classy timeless color schemes and textures.
Another fashion trend I wish would come back is flapper girl dresses. Currently, we wear them as costumes for a Gatsby-themed birthday or prom party but I genuinely like style. They are short and flowy but are stylish because you can accessorize without shame. The hat culture around the 1920s also elevated the flapper girl dress.

If I could choose for any fashion trend to come back, it would be grunge fashion. Any time I had a ‘90s day at school, I opted for a grunge style outfit. It’s simple, easy to find in your closet and looks pretty cool too. Most of the time, I don’t try to put too much effort into what I wear, so this style is right up my alley
Also, I’d really like it if poodle skirts made a resurgence as well. I feel like they were a very cute and fun addition to women’s fashion. I feel like I’ve always really liked flowy skirts and bottoms, so this is another no brainer for me. Plus, the poodle on the front just gives it that extra layer of pizazz and uniqueness.

The fashion trend that I wish would come back is ‘70s style fashion with the bell sleeves, bell bottoms and big Farrah Fawcett hair. I love the flowy and loose style that was at its height during this time and the mixing of different prints and patterns. I find that I look to this era of fashion a lot when I am looking to add pieces to my own wardrobe.
My favorite parts of ‘70s fashion were the overly wide bell bottoms and the big bell sleeves that made every look really dramatic. Pair this with the big blowout style of hair that was made iconic with actresses like Farrah Fawcett or this shag haircut that Stevie Nicks had. I’ve seen elements of this coming back into modern day style and I am loving it.
The exaggerated and theatrical features of this time period always put me in a good mood and just make me want to dance around or go to a roller rink.

The fashion trend I want to come back in style is goth fashion and I know it never really went away, it just changed. My favorite iteration of the style is from the 1980s with the big hair and dramatic makeup. I never grew out of playing dress up and changing my outfits whenever I get the whim to do so. Growing up I used to wear my princess dresses to the playground.
It can be fun trying different makeup looks even when you might not have the best makeup skills practice makes perfect. I think other reasons why I always had a fascination with the style is because I listen to a lot of music that can be considered goth and my favorite holiday is Halloween.
Goth fashion also takes inspiration from the Romantic period and the Victorian era, two of my other favorite periods. Expressing yourself is fun!
