History of the Trend: Ripped Jeans
Let's take a sort break from subcultures and focus on a single article of clothing that has a trend which comes in and out of fashion every few years. That being ripped jeans.…
View PostHistory of the Trend: Goth
Today's History of the Trend is another subculture. This is another subculture that I grew up around, I never got into it as I was more on the punk/emo side, but a lot of my friends were Goth. I also have a lot of scene friends but that will be a History of the Trend post for in the future as that is a whole separate category that also was born around the same time from as a subculture that originated from punk. I'll also cover emo at a future date as well.…
View PostHistory of the Trend: Kawaii
For the next history of the trend, I'm going to another sub-culture much like the punk one I did a few weeks ago. As you can read from the title, I'm going to focus on Kawaii sub-culture. I remember first seeing this when I was in Junior High School (2000s) but never really got into it as I went more down the punk/emo direction. And still sort of live in that realm fashion wise. But I do enjoy looking at Kawaii fashion, it's just doesn't match my personality.…
View PostHistory of the Trend: Holographic
Holographic products are nothing knew but I swear it's seriously changed recently all thanks to SimplyNailogical who has basically coined the term "Holosexual." Every time I see holographic anything, I instantly think of her YouTube channel. If you don't know what holographic is, here is the definition: "A illuminescent pattern that diffuses light in rainbow patterns." And many clothing and beauty company use this in various ways. From just the packaging to the entire product. Some products also claim to be holographic and are not. They do not have the entire shift of the rainbow but have a duo-tone shift instead.…
View PostHistory of the Trend: Punk
I'm including this in my History of the Trend series, but honestly this is more of a subculture. And I'm going to do a few more subcultures in my "History of the Trend' series because I feel like it just fits in. As I remember Punk being a "trend" when I was in Junior/Senior High school, at least for fashion. And I wanted to be part of this in the worst way, but my mom wouldn't let me. So at the moment I'm kind of trying to live out my dreams of years past with the red hair as it's something I always wanted growing up.…
View PostHistory of the Trend: Chokers
For the next article in the history of the trend series, I'm going to be focusing on chokers. This is a fashion accessory that I've been wearing since I was nine years old. And this isn't a new thing that came around within the past few decades. Chokers have been around since ancient civilians used for protection as the neck was considered the most important part of the body. It was only in the late 1800s with Princesses of Wales that the once body armor became a fashion icon.…
View PostHistory of the Trend: Dreadlocks
History of the Trend is a series I'm going to be starting on my blog and I don't know how many of these I'm going to do or how long this series will be occurring, but this is something I've wanted to do for a while after a conversion with my roommate. It came about when we talking about dreadlocks which is why I'm going to be starting with this topic. As we were talking about Demi Lovato sporting twists in her hair for her music video No Promise and the Twitter backlash she endured. And I came up with this idea then but was unsure about actually posting it or not as I'm sure this will have its own debate around it. But let's try to keep an open mind and let's drive into the history behind this hair style trend.…
