Retro Fashion is Still Prevalent

“Old is gold” you read this line many times. I know that celebrity looks take your heart when they come with a unique style but the wave of love comes when we go back to the 50s and 80s style. Retro fashion is a style and trend that was popular in the past. But many follow even now. Movies and pop culture often follow the classic, keeping the love alive for retro fashion. Bandanas, winged eyeliner and dresses, the classics all come back with a modern touch and we all fall for that again.?

The Classic Looks That Inspired Many Fashion Trends

When we see anyone wearing a bell-bottom, it reminds us of the Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan who used to wear the same in many of his films back in the day. His iconic bell-bottom pants, colourful shirts and retro sunglasses have inspired many fashion trends in India. Also, the bold and glamorous fashion sense of popular Bollywood actress Zeenat Aman inspired many looks in India. She wore maxi dresses, off-shoulder tops and oversized sunglasses, which we are wearing until now.?

The classic and elegant fashion sense comes to mind, and the picture of Bollywood actress Rekha appears before us. Silk saree with bold colours and accessories with jewellery and hairpiece have all been followed since the 70s.?

When we listen to the iconic song “Tip-tip Barsa Paani” the Raveena Tandon smooth, shiny plain chiffon saree takes our heart. The chiffon saree with polka dot has been a part of fashion since the 70s, and now it has become a fashion statement. We all just love to wear that lightweight saree to feel our culture and follow fashion trends.??

Winged eyeliner to heavy hairstyles all come from the 80s, the Madhubala look in Anarkali has never been out of trend since then. The heavy long kurta with the handwork of a zari is a fashion trend even now. Many of us follow her looks, and Anarkali dresses are worn till now.?

These actors and actresses have inspired much retro fashion in India, and continue to influence fashion today. Many people incorporate elements of past styles into their current wardrobe. Not only the dresses but the makeup and accessories, which were worn in the 50s and 80s are still followed. Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, and all other rock in retro looks and so do many who follow the same.?
