FAD, Trend and Classic fashion

A FAD is an intense but short-termed fashion craze.

A trend is the current style that is in fashion, this stays around longer then a FAD.

A classic style is formal, refined, restrained and elegant.

Information on The Fashion Translator says that FADs are designed for young slim women. A couple of examples of these FADs are:

Jumpsuits, these are great for slim ladies especially if you are tall and slim, if not they probably aren’t your best choice in clothing but hey whose going to stop you?

The TV series 90210 features many jumpsuits for a short time on none other than tall slim ladies.

Another trend on The Fashion Translator is Cargo Pants.

These are also great for those tall slim ladies. Although they are always in for the outdoorsy type they are not in for long on the catwalk.

The best 2012 fashion trends would have to be lace (which was everywhere according to http://www.fashionologie.com/Spring-2012-Trends-19102109?page=0%2C0%2C4), pleats, rounded shoulders, black and white, bra tops, zigzag, clear shoes, 20’s, track trousers and one shoulder.

Jumpsuits were around in the days of the hippies and appeared as something like this. Modern jumpsuits are a lot less busy and give off a more elegant look as shown.

Short tummy showing tops have been around before when Madonna wore it in the 80’s. Once again it has been modernized and even sexier. They may as well be called bras but no the correct term is bra tops, so stylish, so sexy, and so modern.

The classic le smoking suits for women have been around for a while. They have also become sexier then before, as time goes on women are showing more and more skin along with it. Not only a suit but a dress suit aswell by designer Yves Saint Laurent

                                                                           1966

Both midriffs or bra tops and le smoking appeared on TV first. With Madonna being a huge fashion influence there’s no wonder this became a fashion trend from the TV to the streets. Also when women saw women dress formal and in power on TV series they were influenced into doing the same therefore this fashion was also trickled down from TV to the streets. Jumpsuits on the other hand where from the street to the catwalk therefore being a bubble up effect.

I put these in this order because all I read about in the 80’s were how big MTV was for fashion influence with TV series and movies not far behind. Also now days people are keeping a watch on how celebrities dress, looking in magazines and the internet for the latest fashion. This is my own opinion on how fashion is influenced the most.

I think not long until coloured jeans are everywhere in pretty much every bright colour out there.
