Fashion changes really fast, and what looked trendy only a decade ago may look somewhat ridiculous nowadays. From colorful geometry patterns of the ’60s and ’70s to voluminous shoulders of the ’80s and skinny eyebrows of the ’90s, we’ve seen so many fashion trends, and it’s time to recall them all.
