Short lived fashion trends are those fashions that don’t last very long, generally between one to four years. They are usually popular for one season and then disappear for the rest of the decade. They come and go so you never get a chance to see them in their glory. While there may be some truth to these fashions, there are also many great pieces of clothing that will last for decades if properly cared for.
One of the shortest lived fashion trends is that of the pea coat. This trend was popular in the 1970s but it fizzled out when people realized how hard they were to keep clean. Today this garment is still very much in use and is worn mostly by women in the colder climates. It is easy to care for; all you need to do is wash it in a gentle detergent. During the hot months when sweat is most noticeable, you can place a soft sweater over the pea coat to help keep it from sweating through the day. As with any short lived fashion trends, you can wear the pea coat with jeans and with the classic pin up skirt to create a great combination.
While some short lived fashion trends do live on, there are many great pieces of clothing that will not only last for years, but will give you years of enjoyment. You can find great fashion at discount retailers and outlet stores everywhere, as well as at online boutiques. With a little bit of time and effort you can have some wonderful fashions that will be with you for a long time.
