No matter how far into the future we evolve as a human race, there are always those moments when history makes a comeback in some new form or other. With fashion, old school comebacks are what keep things interesting.
It's a dreamy marriage between nostalgia and a fashion-forward epiphany; like looking through old pictures of a young you in corduroy pants and laughing at the trend until you think, how awesome would they look if I rocked them now?
A number of the 'new-school' trends - think kitten heels and latex wear - have been resurrected from a time we often look back to and sigh in relief at the fact that we've grown so much as a people since then.
But thanks to the phenomenon of street style, and the way its stars make styling look so easy and items so covetable, there's no better time than now for you to actually look in your gran's wardrobe and find something to add to your outfit like it's always belonged to your generation.
