My 5 Trends To Try Out

I have spent this week reflecting on how to change up my style and i have found 5 new style trends i want to try out. . .

1. False lashes and dark eyes from the 60s

False eyelashes were the fashion accessory of the ’60s (from about 1964 on) and fashionable girls wore them everyday. Some even wore two sets. Lashes (both upper and lower) came on a long strip that you cut to length, or else as ready-to-wear individual sets.
The strip that bottom lashes came on could be annoying, so girls would cut them into smaller pieces. Lashes were made from human hair, synthetics and animal hair like sable, mink and, er, seal.
Lashes mainly came in black and brown, but could be decorated with rhinestones and glitter.


 2. The flower power patterns

 




































 
In ladies' 60s fashions, the skirts and dresses were nothing like what was seen on runways. Not since the 1920s did fashion change so radically, and youth define what was acceptable. The hemlines that shocked conservatives in the 1920s nearly gave some people apoplexy in the 1960s, as mini and even micro mini skirts were sported by girls with good legs. A short skirt was worn with suede knee-high boots in cool weather, or sandals on hot summer days. Dresses were either short and skimmed the body, or they were long, loose peasant or granny dresses. A peasant dress reflected a Renaissance maiden and the look was often enhanced with flowing ribbons in the hair and on the dress itself. Of course, there were also flowers.

3. 1940s 

Fashion in the 1940s was a good mix of comfort and glamour. There were specific outfits that were meant for specific times of the day. Some of their designs look downright modern even by today’s standards.
Men were still pretty dressed up. Suits, ties and hats were commonplace in public. Women wore dresses and skirts — they still didn’t wear slacks yet.
Another thing women ALWAYS wore: gloves. Preferably a pair that matches your outfit. Fur was very popular, as was all kind of animal skins. Crocodile purses, wombat collars, lambskin lining, and leather sleeves — no animal was off limits.
Clothes in the 1940s were very bright and colorful. The brighter the better. Women’s shoes were often one of three popular color choices: red, white or blue.

4. Grunge

 




Grunge is defined by a messy, I-don’t-care look that combines punk styles with working-class clothing. If you want to dress grunge, you will have to give up any value you might put into matching or looking too clean. Grunge style is all about cheap clothing worn in a careless way. Thrift stores like Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Crossroads are great places to get second-hand clothes that are comfortable and just the right amount of faded. Look for clothes that are a little big on you. Avoid brightly colored items of clothing--stick with muted colors and black clothing. 

5. Bright lips

Turns out bright colors can make your lips look even larger! If you already have naturally full lips, don’t go over the lip line to create a more luscious pout. Not everyone feels comfortable sporting a bold, matte pout, but brightly colored glosses are a fun way to try out the trend without fully taking the plunge.
