#WednesdayWishlist: Modernise old fashion trends using the correct styling

accreditation

1. Flares

Most of us have spent the past few years living in skinnies, but it's time to expand your horizons (and amount of trouser fabric).

It has risen from the '70s and is back with a bang. Better than a bell-bottom, the flare is still having a moment - especially if styled correctly. Add a slogan tee and loafers for a modern twist.

2. Mom jeans

Tick tock. // Wearing @fombrand.

This "ugly" denim '80s trend is now worn by all the cool kids. Wear it with a simple tucked in shirt or snug off-the-shoulder top. 

Shop yours at Topshop.

3. Crop tops

The Miley craze might be over, but crop tops still remain. It's all in the styling, however. Anyone can wear this trend - whether you pair it with a high-waisted pleated skirt or mom jeans, the crop is here to stay. We especially love crops of the strappy variety...

Get yours at H&M for R399.

4. Chokers

'90s chokers have now been reintroduced and adopted even by those who disliked The Craft. It's the easiest way to add edginess to plain little black dress or normcore outfit.

Shop this one for R250 at Lovisa.

5. Floral biker dress

...AKA your grandma’s favourite house dress. Style it using the art of juxtaposition - adding chunky lace-ups or wedges.

Get yourself one for R629 at H&M.
