= Fashion =

==Overview == Fashion changed drastically throughout each decade. From classical to crazy colors, and everything in between. Fashion is like a revolving wheel. Styles come in and out of style, and eventually the styles come back after everything has been used up. For example, nowadays tight skinny jeans and high tops are back in style. The 'hippie' style can also be seen, but that could be because it never went away.

In the 1950's, American teenagers wore leather jackets. The more sophisticated look was a full volume skirt, pony tail and scarf. Most of us think of the movie //Grease// when thinking about this fashion period. 1960s was the decade of rebellion for teenagers. 'Hippie' is a good word to describe the fashion. Loose fitting clothing, geometric shapes, hip- hugger's and mini-skirts. The 1970's was similar to the fashi on in the 60's, the 70's had long hair, bell bottoms, polyester and crazy designs and colors. In the 1980's individuality became a major factor in this decades fashion. Layers and heavy make-up were in. Leg warmers, splatter paint, converse, acid wash jeans, side ponytails and rolled jeans could be seen everywhere. Big, jazzed up hair was also a must for the women. Fashion we'd like to forget may include parachute pants, jelly shoes, square end knit ties, and let's not forget padded shoulders in woman's suits. The styles have changed, evolved and come back to the same things in new and different ways. These decades have provided us with different types of fashion. New ways to wear pants, different hair, geometrical patterns on clothes. They have provided us with evolving styles. Ones that are constantly being reused, even now in the 21st century. Each decade set a different trend, a different opportunity for people to be who they are.
