We know music as a phenomenon that has overthrown an established culture, gave birth to new ones and often created controversies that helped all the more the followers to set new directions in the realms of fashion. Some of these trends went mainstream while others stay confined to particular niches; however, most of them still exist and you need to find them if you are an iconoclast taking hedonistic pleasures in redefining fashion. Your primary lookout should be incorporating distinct trends that come from different eras to cultivate a new movement in style. It’s a different thing whether you want to traverse the masculine-influenced trends or something utterly feminine, but it must characterize the wearer in the most natural ways.
On this context, it’s the name of Madonna that comes to the mind first; many teenaged girls from that era opted for the fashion statements she made with her stage costumes and musical philosophies. But that was in the US; in UK, it was the New Romantic fashion movement that ruled the roost during the ‘80s. It was modified punk fashion – streaky and bold and notoriously outlandish. The trend still continues and the unfolded, short, shirt collars bring over that macho feel and is still a favourite when it is a gang of girls heading the local countryside pub on a weekend evening. But it leaves a lot of space to allow the males in because of the leggings; so you see, it is balance that music-oriented fashion trends established, without the wearer feeling awkward or out of the place. But then again, who says the gloves, fishnet stockings and beaded necklaces with tubular dresses and short, tight leather mini-skirts can’t bring about the same feel? After all, it’s just what you feel comfortable in, a lesson music taught people a long time back.
