Moms will always be moms. The way they magically know and understand everything is what we girls tend to try and comprehend with time. Their oh-so-simple maneuver to find even a tick-tack pin for us is one proof of how we can totally trust our mothers for almost everything. When it comes to fashion and styling, it quite happens when our mothers give away such a poignant attitude justifying the fact we poor girls are too late in our efforts to master the current fashion trends. As back in time when they were ruling their heydays, they have tried, worn and done it all. Now if a person can find each item which you seem to have lost, and when that person is your own mother, then you have to believe whatever she says.
How many times have you been told that you are a mirror image of your mother? Countless is the answer we guess. But have you ever realized that our mothers are also like mirrors to us. Because, for every new outfit or unique attire we run to ask our mother whether it looks good or not as with her taste and trust in fashion trends, we don’t need any mirror to judge it for us. A thumbs up from her side is the nothing less than a stamp from Manish Malhotra or Sabyasachi, after all she has been there and done that.
With incessant trials to match the high-fi fashion levels of our mothers and our admiration for their sense of dressing up, we all have come across so many retro styles which have come back in fashion again.
Here are 8 fashion trends for which mom says ‘been there, done that’!
1. Bell-Bottoms or Flared pants:
This is one type of clothing which entails a clear retro look. Like old movies, flared pants were kind of a flashback to us with our mothers donning it in college times or for parties. But they are very much back in action and surprisingly look as chic and sassy as they looked before.
2. Chokers:
Now is the time where almost every female neck has a band wrapped around it in style and so many of us think how cool this new trend is. But we didn’t know that our mothers have already seen and tried these chokers back in their time when Zeenat Aman showed them how to carry a boho look with confidence.
3. Geeky Glares/Glasses:
After the John Lenon trend swept the eyewear market, big and broad shaped shades entered our accessory closets. Surprisingly these geeky glasses still suit our mothers more than they suit us as if they are made for them only.
4. Peasant Blouses:
Hippy and comfortable peasant blouses ruled our mother’s closet back in seventies and now every fashion brand is coming up with different styles of these same blouses.
5. High Waist Denims:
If bell-bottoms were one thing then high waist denims were another. Both these trends are making our times more fashionable and modish with their authenticity.
6. Platform Heels:
Feeling less confident whether you can carry such cheeky pair of footwear? Don’t worry, just go and ask how your mothers wore them and with what dresses they used to match these heels with. You will be good to go.
7. Big Rounded Earrings:
Saw a friend wearing big hooped earrings and witnessed how cool she looked? Just go and open your mother’s collection of accessories because you will definitely find one pair in there and in no time you can upload a picture wearing them on your Instagram as well.
8. Winged/ Cat-eye Liner:
Every one of us knows how difficult it is to get winged eyeliner on fleek. Worry not, because your mother being a fashionista, knows how to help you in this make up crises. She can also advise you if this look compliments your eyes or not as winged styled liner is more suitable for cat eyes.
