Fashions That Made a Comeback in 2017

What goes around comes around – at least that’s what they say – so here are some examples of fashion fails that got a second lease of life:

Shoulder pads

Of all the eighties looks, nothing screamed Power Suit like a pair of American Football-like shoulder pads. If ever there was a fashion that seemed destined for the eternal dust-bin it was these, but believe it or not pads are back in vogue thanks to labels like Balmain featuring them heavily in their catwalk collections.

Mirrored Sunglasses

Once the preserve of Top Gun era Tom Cruise, mirrored shades have gone from zero to hero without us even noticing! Suddenly it seems like everyone is rocking a pair of reflective glasses this summer, and this time it looks like these flashy lenses are here to stay.

Dungarees

We thought we’d said goodbye to dungarees along with Tamagotchis and Beanie Babies. Turns out we were wrong! From Zooey Deschanel to Miley Cyrus and Cate Blanchett to Emma Stone, these denim overalls are back in a big way. The good news is that dungarees work with pretty much everything, and they’re super-comfortable to wear.

High Waist Jeans

At one stage in the dim and distant past, ‘Mom Jeans’ were only worn by, well, Moms. That changed in the nineties when high waist jeans were all the rage, but that trend died out pretty much as soon as it got going. However, now is the time to raid your (or your mother’s) wardrobe for those high-waisted jeans – with or without cuffs – in the style of Selena Gomez, Kendall Jenner or Kourney Kardashian.

Plaid Shirts

The epitome of 90s Seattle and grunge music, it was only a matter of time before plaid came back around again. Not only in shirts either, as celebs like Emma Watson, Marion Cotillard and Lily Collins are rocking the plaid look in coats, shirts, tops and dresses. Get your Smashing Pumpkins CD out of storage and go party in plaid like it’s 1994!
