It’s true: What comes around tends to go back around eventually. Since we know that fashion is cyclical in nature, it should come as no surprise when we see trends resurrect themselves from the past—sometimes from decades in the past. Designers are always revisiting the archives in order to reinvent the wheel for the seasons to come, fixating on one decade or period of time before moving onto the next. In the past several years alone, we’ve cycled through ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s fashion trends, cherry-picking which silhouettes and motifs to bring into the present-day.

Or, like me, you can take to raiding the wardrobes of your parents and grandma to borrow the original versions and source even more from vintage stores (coincidentally also the most sustainable way to shop). Once such vintage retailer is The RealReal and its Head of Women’s Clothing Sasha Skoda, who is sharing the exact trends from these past three decades that are selling better than any others right now.
