Space Age Futuristic Fashion of the 60's

Fashion in 1969 by Pierre Cardin. Those hood collars are incredible, and I love those metal pieces! People predicted back then that we would be wearing clothes that were more futuristic looking today.

Some futuristic fashion predictions of the past have come true in the new millennium, although some of the looks could have never been predicted. Some of them you love, some of them you hate, and some of them you may have a variety of opinions about. I've mixed them all up here, so they're in no particular order. Here's some of what has happened in fashion over the last ten years: 

Ed Hardy

Sweatpants with a large word stamped across the bum

Families all dressed in matching clean white outfits, posing for a family photo on the beach

Crocs

Peace signs (mainly in 2009 inspired by the 40th anniversary of Woodstock)

Bags designed to hold a little dog

Vintage style t-shirts that already look aged on the rack

Mini skirts that begin just above the crotch and end just below the crotch

Bracelets that support a cause

Velour

Uggboots 

Jeans that are already torn and distressed on the rack

Organic

Jeans that hang so low that the entire pair of boxers are exposed

Tops with big medallions at the bust

Flip flops

Chandelier earrings

Sleeveless wedding gowns

The color brown

The return of the monogram

Snuggies 

Platinum wedding bands

The craft of jewelry making (craft stores have greatly expanded those departments as the trend grew)

Less business suits / More business casual

Spray tans

Sarah Palin glasses (sales of the style of her glasses went up in 2008)

Reusable shopping bags are sold in most stores with a variety of designs

Big increase in fashion for dogs

Black nail polish (being worn by more of the general population and not just the goths)

Bluetooth on the ear

Less pantyhose / More women opt for bare legs instead

Patriotic clothing (red, white and blue colors were worn much more after September 11th, 2001)

Visible bra straps by females wearing tank tops (women used to hide these, except during the 80's Madonna trend)

Return of 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's fashions (a variety of trends from those decades resurfaced)
