I had been partial to knits only for a few years. I love my wrap dresses, and continue to wear them even though I may not have the correct body type to fill them out. They are easy and have the best patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-embracing-old-trends#post-1415029 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 03:15:30 +0000 Dimity 1415029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I plan to get a pair of oxfords and some loafers when it gets cooler here. I used to have these many years ago and am excited to bring them back again.&nbsp;And I did get a pair of slip on sneakers for the cooler summer days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-embracing-old-trends#post-1414905 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 19:50:48 +0000 deb 1414905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sneakers, I have not worn them in years. I bought 4 pair this year and one pairs have become designated garden shoes already. Comfy inside and outside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-embracing-old-trends#post-1414878 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 17:48:05 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1414878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oxfords and lace-up sneakers. Bootcut jeans, although I never stopped wearing them on occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-embracing-old-trends#post-1414875 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 17:40:46 +0000 kkards 1414875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>angie maybe a shirt gal, but for the last decade or so, i've been a total knits girl. but in the last year, i've bought, and worn 4 button downs! the other thing i'm back into is belts....for the past few years i had stopped wearing them, but now with semi tucking, i'm back to wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-embracing-old-trends#post-1414872 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 17:33:29 +0000 Angie 1414872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm <b>Shirt Gal.</b> Wear them whether they are in or out of fashion. For me, a stiff masculine shirt (popped, scrunched and tucked)&nbsp;is&nbsp;always in style for my body type and style persona&nbsp;- the same way Janet feels about bootcut jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>I <b>do</b> make sure that the shirt&nbsp;fits are updated. Although I did haul out an old&nbsp;fitted white shirt to wear with new '80s pink pants this Summer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-embracing-old-trends#post-1414857 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 17:13:05 +0000 Janet 1414857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bootcut jeans. If it would ever stop raining here, I'd break mine out again.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-embracing-old-trends#post-1414853 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 17:06:40 +0000 Aziraphale 1414853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know about classic styles, but I pulled out a 1990s black leather duster in the fall and wore it quite a bit. Prior to that&nbsp;I hadn't worn it in years. It always makes me feel like Buffy the vampire slayer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-embracing-old-trends#post-1414850 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 16:53:17 +0000 approprio 1414850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting question. I can think of a couple of classic styles that I hadn't worn in years which made their way back into my wardrobe this year. </p> <p>One is a pair of&nbsp;black high-heeled pumps. This is something of an experiment and I'm still not sure if they're really working for me as I tend to favour a chunkier shoe.&nbsp;</p> <p>The other is a pair of&nbsp;New Balance sneakers, because I wanted to have a go at some normcore styling. I've not worn kicks that weren't Converse for years, but they were pretty useful during the summer as an alternative to sandals. But I don't think I nailed normcore. It's quite boring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-embracing-old-trends#post-1414844 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 16:35:54 +0000 Anonymous 1414844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine was rediscovering wrap dresses. I haven't worn a wrap dress for years, but bought 3 of them this year. I just love how they flatter my figure and how I feel much more like myself than I do in just about any other style I can think of.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2014-embracing-old-trends#post-1414779 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 13:42:53 +0000 gradfashionista 1414779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always trying's post on new trends had be thinking about what old trends I had embraced or experimented with over the year. You know, those classic pieces that have been around for decades, but that you've consistently avoided.<br />Last week, I wore a body con dress for the first time to&nbsp;a very special event. I was traveling and didn't have a dress for the occasion, because the lack of fancy events in my life in the US meant that my few dressy pieces were in Canada. The Black Halo Jackie O dress, covering both my elbows and knees, caught my fancy. It's a true body con, but I feel very feminine in it because of how it defines the waist and flatters the lumps and bumps of my lower half.<br />What about you?</p>
