Fashion changes everyday. We are constantly adapting to different styles and trends that come in and out of fashion on a regular basis. Compared to fashion restrictions in past eras its safe to say that 21st century fashion is the most comfortable and relaxing.You can see how different fashion was in past eras, clothes were tight fitting and uncomfortable. In todays fashion lighter fabrics are used for comfort and less restriction.

More and more people are finding their own individual styles and trends.

Old style fashion from past eras became known as Vintage, as people started to embrace past cultures and trends. The square cut and the boyish look became a vintage must have. Modern vintage are trends taken from past eras which are adapted and modified to become ready to wear but still create the look of its chosen decade.

The 20th Century began to become an era where anything goes. People began to experiment and think outside the box. Hairstyles began to change and become more laid back. Salons began to adapted and become unisex. A popular laidback hairstyle was one by Kurt Cobain from Nivarna who started the grunge trend. Hair would be messy and natural, it almost looked unwashed. These days the style of your hair is another way to express yourself just like fashion. Hairstyles are varied and different. People are a lot more daring with their cuts and colours. 8
