Which Decade Are You?

1990s:

Or the grunge decade (think Nirvana). Then there were the styles during the 90s were inspired by the 70s retro trend. Cargo pants were very popular and the color olive green in general.

Does anybody watch Two and a Half Men by any chance? Well, Charlie on the show is obsessed with bowling shirts, a trend that was in its peak during the 90s. Now, I think Charlie is the only one who wears them in the new millennium. I guess he never got the memo. The punk and gothic look made a big scene and to me, it was just scary. On the plus side, the 80s and 90s were the decades of the supermodel. Claudia, Naomi, Cindy and many others reinvented the fashion industry. It was the first time that models became celebrities.

Personally when I think of the 90s I think of young Kate Moss in her Calvin Klein ads with Mark Wahlberg…yummy

1940s:

Fact – this was the decade in which nylon stockings was invented.

Shoulder length hair with wavy curls was a big trend, think Lauren Bacall, Ginger Rogers, Katherine Hepburn, and Veronica Lake. The styles of the sexy big screen sirens had a huge impact on women. Dresses and skirts were mostly knee length and for tops, shoulder pads were unfortunately in style. I remember when I was younger, my grandmother would try to give me old clothes of hers and I swear the majority of them came from the 1940s when she was in her mid-twenties. Now, I wish I had saved some of them because I am sure there was bound to be something vintage that would be appropriate for the present decade. I was a child, I was a fool to popular culture, and there was no way in hell I was going to wear something 40 years older than me.

1930s:

Women are beginning to accessorize! Hats, bags and scarves oh my!

Gloves were an absolute must during this period. There were gloves that were up to the wrist for during the day, and elbow length gloves for the evening. Short hair remained popular for most of the 1930s.
