Evolution of Fashion Trends from the 1950s to Present Day

Fashion trends emerged from the Industrial Revolution through the development of factories that could
rapidly create clothing. This mass production allowed brands to ramp up their output and maximize
profits by making new clothing quickly. In addition, the shift from making clothes as a necessity to
buying clothes based on style made fashion fun. It also made ready-to-wear options available in
department stores that advertised the need for new looks every season. As a result, the constantly
changing trends have distinctively marked each decade in fashion.
1950's Trends

1950's fashion was casual yet formal and elegant. Shoulder lines became more softened, corset waists
became smaller, and rounded hips with long skirts became popular. The iconic gray felt poodle skirts
emerged with white bobby socks and saddle shoes. All the while, boys launched the youth culture
during the '50s by dressing casually like the working class. The James Dean uniform of a red jacket, white
t-shirt and jeans were also avidly copied during this time.

1960's Trends

Hippie culture influenced fashion through bold florals, crochet, tie-dye, bell-bottoms, go-go boots, and
mini skirts. Bikinis grew in popularity from the rising rebellion of the Women's Liberation Movement.
Women started to express themselves more than ever before and began wearing pants more regularly.
The fit and flare dress also became a staple silhouette for going out. Additional trends during the 60's
include turtlenecks, which were popularized by celebrities like Johnny Carson, Steve McQueen and Paul
Newman. Black turtlenecks specifically became an iconic statement for the Black Panther Party.

1970's Trends

The '70s continued to see the presence of bell-bottoms and tie-dye clothing, but platform boots and
shoes became a massive hit. In addition, everyone wanted to be taller. All the while, high-waisted jeans
and feathered hair became the norm. Corduroy became popular and round sunglasses, made infamous
by John Lennon, circulated within the fashion scene. Military/safari looks emerged through khakis, green
rucksacks, camouflage jackets, belts, and boots. Meanwhile, punk enthusiasts rocked black leather
jackets, studs and messy hair. Additional trends in the '70s included wearing hot pants, the chevron
pattern, large collars accessorized by necklaces, and the use of love beads, mood rings, and puka shells.

1980's Trends

Fashion during the '80s was marked by saturated colours, perms and extravagant silhouettes. Puffed
shoulders, flashy skirts, power suits and spandex leggings were the norm. Leg warmers, velour, and
parachute pants were also highly worn. Eclecticism dominated the fashion scene, and the punk rock
aesthetic of leather, tight trousers, and lace developed and evolved during this time. Political fashion
was also common with shirts circulating with slogans like "Choose Life." In the business world, career-
driven women wore tailored power suits with big, padded shoulders with exaggerated silhouettes while
more prominent and brighter styles emerged. The street's predominant "anything goes" attitude was
marked by brightly coloured and shiny hoop earrings, bracelets, and necklaces.

1990's Trends

The '90s was an era where icons were embodied through clothing. Madonna's looks included wearing
satin bustier tops, ripped jeans and heeled shoes. Julia Roberts' Pretty Woman look was copied through
menswear shirts, high-waisted culottes and court shoes. Trends during the time also included wearing
Skidz pants, Air Jordans, tapered jeans, baseball caps, and mullets. Grunge fashion also emerged
through flannel shirts, hole-ridden jeans and Doc Martens. Key trendy accessory pieces included the use
of chokers, hoop earrings, and scrunchies.

2000's Trends

2000's fashion screams Juicy Couture tracksuits, True Religion jeans, The Chloe Paddington bags, low
risers, bedazzled bottoms and ribbed tank tops. Dresses over jeans were a distinct combo look, as well
as skinny scarves, wide and flashy belts, pocketless jeans, von dutch hats, tank tops over other shirts and
tube tops. Uggs were favoured alongside chunky necklaces, Livestrong bracelets, Pashminas, and skull
scarves. Boho vibes through the use of flowy maxi skirts and ruffle details were also common.

2010's Trends

Fashion during this time was covered in different shades of millennial pink. Out on the streets, sneaker
wedges and skinny jeans dominated. They were accessorized with fanny packs, merch shirts and fringe
details. High-stretch and pocket-less leggings also emerged and were worn for all sorts of different social
occasions. Loafers with fur and ankle boots were stapled footwear options, while deconstructed denim
was commonly worn as well. Key accessories during this time included headbands, novelty handbags,
and floppy hats.

Present Day Trends

The pandemic changed the course of fashion for many -increased time at home created more demand
for sweatpants and comfy clothing. Pops of colour emerged through the rise and comeback of tie-dye.
Sweatsuits became popular for online and home events, while biker shorts and chunky orthopedic shoes
became a go-to option. Crocs were normalized, and cashmere pieces became embraced for their cozy,
comfy touch. All the while, Zoom tops were prioritized, and their necklines became a focal point. This
made Peter Pan collars, square necklines and turtlenecks a go-to option. Major themes in fashion have
now moved towards 90's nostalgia, cottagecore and cabincore.

The evolution of fashion trends over the last eighty years is a long and complex picture of the everyday
life of people. Feel free to explore and wear these trends by visiting second-hand stores and trying out
new styles. It can help you move away from current trends and create a unique closet. However, you

trends in the future. This can allow you to buy clothing you'll love for years despite continual changes
and options in fashion.
