The hippie concept is slowly fading as everybody now follows the traditional styles of other generations.

Crop tops have different versions according to each decade. The 90s may have seen a more dramatized version of the crop top, but it is simply recently that the style has been conflated in most of the major branding stores and worn for all sorts of occasions – casual, formal, or even parties! With the right accessories, crop tops can be adapted to any theme according to one’s needs, and have made a successful comeback after their former popularity. Stick position patch or the name of your chosen script to your boss to give it a more personal touch, something nobody else has.
Basic bells
After years of wearing ultra-fitting jeans and slim-fit trousers to emphasize your athletic muscles, bells are back with a bang. There were fewer people on the street wearing those incredible tights and instead wearing baggy pants which gave their catwalks a new meaning of coziness and luxury! So welcome back bell bottoms after the long wait where there was an apocalypse of tight jeans, waiting for such open and comfy pants to return to real life.
Freckles
Polka polka dots aren’t really considered vintage, but they were very designed for most clothes back in the day, and are on trend now, too. Whether it is in the form of a big polka dot on a little dress, or a patterned bandana, polka dots are absolutely in style right now, and they look great too! Show off your best looks by wearing contrasting colours with a pretty polka dot pattern!
High waist pants / harem pants
Most of the crop tops and shirts you may remember from the golden age were generally worn with very high waisted jeans, or even baggy harem pants. And it has also come back into fashion with a bang; who would have thought people would go from super low waist pants to actually high waist pants? But they look charming when worn with a crop top for any casual occasion. The whole look speaks for itself hipster!
Giant specs
It’s debatable whether the trend for extra-large glasses has really caught on or not; but it must be liked by many people because the trend is back again! You’ll see people of all ages looking trendy in big-framed glasses wherever they go; You may feel like a blast from the past! They are clearly meant to be used in every form of fashion, and do not even look bad with a fancy formal look!
