30 Iconic Fall Fashion Trends Through the Years

Plaid skirts are vintage mid-90s. They were often paired with long or short-sleeved turtlenecks. Modern versions are sometimes longer, reaching below the knee and paired with long boots.

For many people, mostly guys, casual wear in the late 1990s and early 2000s meant donning a short-sleeve T-shirt over a long-sleeve shirt. It was known as the grunge look. Some fashion magazines are noting the style is making a comeback.

The scarf shawl, sometimes referred to as the wrap, is a combination of a blanket and a scarf. They were all the rage in the 2010s; stores had entire sections of various models — ranging from very simple one-color scarves to complicated embroidery ones. They can still be found in clothing stores.

Pencil skirts made their debut in the mid-1950s, when Christian Dior first designed them. He wanted to enhance the hips as opposed to the waist of a woman. This kind of skirt has since become a must-have for every working woman. The only change in the skirt, depending on current trends, is where the hemline is.

A minimalist style is all about the basics — simple jeans, blouses, shoes, or sweaters. Minimalist wear doesn’t have to be just black and white. Bright colors are part of the style, but they are usually paired with a more neutral base jeans or trousers.
