Do YOU wear wild pants?
Women who wore pants were originally labeled as daring because before the early 20th century, only men wore pants. By the 1950s, it was acceptable for women to wear pants, but the cropped form, called short-shorts put bold women back in the fashion headlines. Then the go-go girls of the 1960s, dancing on pedestals or in cages, and wearing hot pants and white go-go boots, took daring to an even higher level. The go-go look filtered down to street wear in the swinging sixties.
Dream of a vintage wedding
Current trends may dictate the strapless look, but because retro stylists appreciate individualism, we are promoting vintage designs with more cover for the shoulders, back and arms. Many brides want a singular and exceptional look, with demure influences and coy touches.
