Fashion down memory lane
Fashion in the olden days, looked simple yet very nice and neat. People used to wear fabrics like silk, satin, damask and chiffon.
However, the current generation has forgotten about the old fashion style, for which reason we had to go down memory lane.
People in the olden days especially women, wore dresses with low, squared-off neckline and empire waist which was 2-3 inches above the natural waistline and fell just below the butt.
The women wore dresses with shoes and long socks while the men rocked in their long and short sleeves with trousers tucked in with their bow tie and braces in addition to their shoes and long socks.
As compared to the older days, the current generation seems to have a different fashion sense or style.
There are lots of designers that come up with several designs for different occasions. Among these designers are Gucci, Givenchy, Prada, Hermes, Versace, and Dior among others.

VINTAGE dresses are making a strong comeback in the fashion world as more women embrace timeless designs that combine elegance and a touch of jewellery.
Once regarded as old-fashioned, vintage dresses are now becoming fashionable choices for women who want to stand out from the crowd.
Fashion enthusiasts are particularly drawn to vintage pieces because of their uniqueness. Unlike mass-produced outfits that are often seen everywhere, vintage dresses offer wearers the opportunity to create a distinctive look while expressing their personality.
Vintage dresses are also versatile; they can be worn to weddings, parties, church services, social gatherings or even casual outings, depending on how they are styled. Pairing them with modern shoes, a handbag or simple jewellery can give the outfit a fresh and contemporary appearance.
Vintage fashion therefore proves that style does not always have to mean following the latest trend. Sometimes, the most fashionable statement is found in the beauty of the past.
