1 It is hard to imagine, but in the early 1900s, most people were shocked by
skirts that showed women's ankles. By the early 1970s, however, most people completely accepted the mini-skirt, which showed almost all of a woman's leg. What caused this change? Trends in fashion, which often arise out of socialprotest movements, can deeply affect what people consider to be appropriate. 2 One well-known example is the rise in popularity of the denim jean, which, until the mid 20th century, was connected with the "working man" and was not accepted in either business or social situations. In the 1950s, many young people began wearing jeans because they wanted to identify with every day workers rather than office workers who typically wore dark suits with white shirts. During the 1960s, Vietnam War protesters and others who were working to change American society wore jeans as a sign of being "antiestablishment." They did not agree with the policies of the government, and did not want to look like government workers who usually wore conservative suits. Throughout the 1970s, this trend of wearing jeans continued, and, by the 1980s, denim had become accepted by many people. Office workers began to wear jeans with blazers and button-down shirts at work on Fridays. This trend became known as "business casual" and jeans, which were once a symbol of protest, became part of our everyday fashion. 3 Another trend in fashion that came from the punk rock movement in the 1970s was the wearing of second-hand clothing. This type of clothing was often older, from another era, and may have had holes or ripped seams. This trend began in part as a reaction to rock super groups who had complicated stage shows and wore expensive costumes. In contrast, punk bands played on simple stages, did not really know how to play their instruments and wore clothes that often needed to be held together with safety pins because they were so badly damaged and used. Soon, the general public began to realize that second-hand stores, often called thrift stores, had many interesting pieces of clothing from the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s which often were sold at very low prices, sometimes for even less that one dollar. From this, the "vintage clothing" industry was born, and today, fashion-conscious people often wear clothes that are older and are second-hand. Indeed, some current clothing manufacturers have begun to make new copies of clothing that were originally found in thrift stores. The prices, of course, are much higher than one dollar, but this "vintage" look can claim its beginning in the clothing of the mid-70s punks. 4 What will be the fashion trends of tomorrow? Will we still wear miniskirts, jeans or vintage clothing? Or will new items emerge as other social protests arise?
