subject: Preppy And Other Classic Looks [print this page] Lacoste is a French apparel company that creates a whole line of clothing to choose from, including the popular polo shirts. The company started out in 1933, founded in France, and has not looked back since, taking the whole world by storm with their numerous products. It gives off a preppy look which is still popular today.
The 1970"s and 80"s was the time of preppy looking clothes and this is when the companies clothing was at its height of popularity. Stripe polo shirts, jumpers tied around the neck and tennis shoes created the perfect outfit for in fashion boys and girls. This look was mostly popular in the United States, especially with classic films such as Grease and many other TV shows sporting a similar look that everybody wanted to copy.
If you take a look at the fashions that are available today, they usually have taken inspiration from many of the past looks including preppy styles. Although looking back now at the styles in the past, they look out there and crazy compared to today"s modern fashion. However back then it was all in style and our modern day clothing would not be the same without these. Perhaps way into the future of other generations they will look to the designs and garments of today and think "what were they thinking"!
If you were around in the 80"s and 90"s and were a teenager at the time some of your nostalgic clothes may fit you and be back in fashion. You would also be able to mix your old clothes with modern for a vintage yet new feel. Fashion does have a certain "rule" at the time it is all out and for those who are consciously trying to look stylish will follow these trends by the book. However style is what you make it so you could change up how you look and wear different pieces together. Trying out different cuts, colours and combinations means you can find a style that suits you and could even end up being your own trademark look that people remember you by. Fashion does not have to be about fitting in or standing out, it is what makes you feel comfortable and confident. Whether this is what is out today or the preppy trend from back in the day, as long as you feel good about yourself why not wear these types of clothes?
