Fashion Through the Ages: How Past Trends Shape Today’s Style

If you’re a fashion nerd like me (or just someone who loves a good vintage find), you have probably noticed that fashion is one giant revolving door. The same trends our mothers, grandmothers (and even great-grandmothers) wore have a funny way of sneaking back into our wardrobes—sometimes reinvented, sometimes questionably unchanged (looking at you miss sixty, 2000s low-rise jeans 😅).
I love looking at how different fashion eras shaped what we wear today. Some trends have aged beautifully (hello, slip dresses), while others… well, we’re still emotionally recovering from.

The Psychology of Personal Style: How Fashion Affects Mood and Confidence

Have you ever put on an outfit and instantly felt amazing? Like you could walk into a room and own it?

Or, on the other side, have you ever put on something that made you feel uncomfortable all day—pulling at the fabric, second-guessing your choice, and just not feeling like yourself?

It’s not just in your head. What we wear has a direct impact on how we feel, how we carry ourselves, and even how others perceive us.

Navigating Life Changes with Style

Does anyone else ever feel like this? What you once knew or understood about your style and what you loved to wear, just did not seem to feel right anymore.

Maybe you know the feeling? You go to grab an outfit that used to be a go-to, and instead of feeling great, you feel uncomfortable, out of place, or just… not yourself.

I see this all the time.

It happens in so many different seasons of life—having a baby, changing careers, stepping into a new phase, or even just that moment when you realise your old style doesn’t match the person you’ve grown into.
