HOW TO KEEP BOOTS SMELLING FRESH?

Hey there, I would like to thank all my visitors for supporting talhasakrani.com, Talha Sakrani Men’s and Women’s Fashion Blog. Today, I’ll be giving you some tips on how to keep the boots smelling fresh. I thought that this topic is very essential for each one of us since our feet are always in our shoes most of the day.

Let me just tell you that equal parts Practical and fashionable, boots have taken over the global footwear industry like a storm. Although elevating your style with the help of this footwear is the easy part, taking proper care of your boots isn’t exactly so simple. So, unless you want a stinky situation on your hands each time you take out your favorite boots, make sure you give this guide a read. In it, I’ll be taking you through everything you’ll need to know to take care of your boots and keep them smelling fresh.

So, without any further ado, let’s dive right in!

How to Get Rid of Boot Smell?

In case you’ve already got a pair of boots that reek, here are two ways you can get rid of the
bad odor in them:

The DIY Method

In the mood for some stink-smashing DIY?

Well, here are some at-home remedies to keep the boots smelling fresh:

Leave it to the UV Rays

Do you know UV rays are great at killing any fungi, bacteria, and odors? Now, before you go
about popping your boots in the sun, make sure you apply some UV protection to them. You
see, UV rays from the sun can actually damage leather and fade it. On the other hand, the
rays from a UVC lamp don’t cause any such damage. So, you can also use this device if
you’ve got one lying around the house.

Make Your Spray Bottle Your Best Friend

A single spray bottle should be filled with 40% water and 50% alcohol. Add a few drops of authentic essential oil, such lavender or lime, and thoroughly combine. Spray the mixture in both the shoe and the spot where you keep your footwear whenever you take them off.

The Wonder of Baking Soda

Baking soda is yet another household product that is great at thoroughly eliminating foul
odors. The way to go here is to fill up a sock with baking soda and leave it inside your stinky
boots overnight. Adding the sock into the mix here isn’t necessary. However, it’ll help slash
your clean-up time since getting rid of powder from your shoe’s insoles isn’t exactly a child’s
play.

Go Commercial

If you’d rather just stick to commercial solutions to removing the bad odor from your boots, here are two things you can do:

Boot Cleaning Products

Although pricey, boot deodorizers are a sure-fire way of eliminating any sort of foul odor from your boots. They suck out any moisture buildup from the shoe and kill all those stinky bacteria. Most of them boast signature fragrances that leave your shoes smelling all fruity once you’re done spraying them. Just make sure you follow the instructional manual to the letter when using them. This will ensure you don’t end up ruining your expensive fashion boots.

New Insoles

If nothing’s really working in your quest of freshening up your old boots, consider getting new insoles. My advice here is to buy one from the manufacturer of your boots. But you can also opt for a third-party store if the original insoles cost quite a bit. In such a case, make sure you properly measure the insole to ensure the correct fit.

Tips to Keep Your Boots Smelling Fresh

Now that you know all about eliminating bad odors from your boots, here are five tips to
prevent your boots from stinking up in the first place:

Clean Feet are a Must

There’s a very high chance your dirty feet might end up stinking up your boots. So, make sure you properly wash them every day with soap. This will ensure any dead skin cells and odor-causing bacteria are killed.

Wear the Right Kind of Socks

While everyone knows that socks are essential when wearing any sort of footwear, you
should also think about the type of socks you wear. Anything made from cotton or synthetic
materials will probably absorb sweat instead of letting it evaporate. On the other hand, wool
and bamboo are great at wicking away moisture. So, consider socks made from these
materials when adorning a pair of boots.
Ditch the waterproof boots.

Unless you’re getting a pair of hiking boots, you’ll probably be better off getting non-waterproof boots. You see, waterproof shoes are all about preventing the transfer of moisture. This becomes a problem when you’re wearing everyday boots since your sweat will have no place to escape. As a result, odor-causing bacteria will start to grow inside your shoe and from there on out, it’s just stomach-churning stench.

Consider a Boot Dryer

An electronic gadget that dissipates heat to dry out boots does sound pretty amazing, no?

Well, that’s just what a boot dryer is. They come in pretty handy when you’d like your boots to be all dry for the next day. Also, did I mention how these dryers can be used to dry off your gloves, socks, and even hats? Yeah, pretty versatile, I know. So, it goes without saying that a boot dryer is a must have for any fashion boot enthusiast.

Say Yes to Non-Metallic Toe Caps

Boots with metallic toe caps tend to overheat. This extra heat will cause your feet to sweat
up. Simple physics really. Well, you can stave off such a dilemma by only getting boots with
non-metallic toe caps.

Final Thoughts

From helping you dress better to assisting you in taking care of your apparel and footwear, my goal is to provide a one-stop destination for fashion enthusiasts. This guide took you through a complete 101 of keeping your boots smelling fresh. I hope it proved to be an insightful read. Thank you for sticking till the end. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts in the comments section. Cheers!

LATEST WOMEN’S FASHION TRENDS 2022

Welcome back, fashion lovers! This is your fashionista, Talha Sakrani from talhasakrani.com, Men’s and Women’s Fashion Blog.

This time I have for you a new blog of fashion tips. 

Now is the turn of women. In the last blog, we talk about the latest trends for men, so now it’s time to count the latest women’s fashion trends from spring-summer 2022. 

We still have a few weeks left to enjoy the summer, so let’s take advantage of these days to make the most of our look and our wardrobe before entering the new WOMEN’S FASHION TRENDS trends of the fall-winter season on the catwalks. 

This year we saw on the catwalks a clear return to the fashion of the 2000s, intense colors and combinations that we thought would never be fashionable again. With a wide variety, this spring-summer season allows all women to find the style they like best. 

So let’s start with the review of the latest women’s fashion trends 2022

Read this article to the end that I will tell you the most authentic and popular women’s fashion trends this year. From colors, textures and shapes. After this article, you will know everything about this fashion season.

Colors and patterns

This time let’s start with the colors. If I liked something about this spring-summer season for women, it’s the colors! Bright and bold colors dominate the scene, leaving behind the classic and boring tunes. 

Let’s see what colors dye this season. 

Neon Green 

Fluorescent tones are again placed on all the catwalks, and this time Neon Green is the king of women’s trends. 

Which green specifically? It seems that the rule this season is as acidic as possible. In that sense, lime green has dominated the scene. We saw it, for example, on the Versace catwalks with absolutely green attire, from the glasses to the shoes. But Versace wasn’t the only one to make lime green the star of its catwalks; Valentino, Badgley Mischka and Naem Khaan were part of the trend.

Pink or Bimbocore 

If the pink aesthetic has been so popular on social media, much is due to the return of Bimbocore, the fashion that takes up the histrionic pink outfits. The tone? Your favorite! All shades of pink play in this trend that has been gaining ground for a while.

Shine with Sequins

This season was undoubtedly characterized by glitter and glamour, making everyone shine. Not only bright and vivid colors take over the catwalks, but sequins were also part of them, in case you thought that this season was still missing something flashy. 

From tops, blouses, hats, and pants, we saw all the sequined garments in the latest catwalks with proposals such as Loewe, Valentino and Rodarte, with the Michael Kors dresses in silver sequins being the favorites of the season. 

So if you can’t decide which sequin piece you want to incorporate into your wardrobe, the suggestion is definitely a dress.

Transparencies

Of course, if there is something we love about the spring-summer seasons, it is the sexy clothes that we can wear while we can still enjoy the sun. And for this season, open fabrics and transparencies that let the skin shine are the protagonists. 

Whether in skirts or blouses, transparencies with flower decorations or of course glitter are a trend this season. So leave your shyness for autumn-winter and take advantage of the fact that this season glamour is combined with sexy.

Now that you know what tones and materials are the trends for this spring summer 2022 season, let’s move on to the combinations and cuts for this season.

The catsuits

And to start we have the Catsuit again. Yes, I know, it is not the most comfortable garment for many and finding one that fits us well is not the easiest task. But the trend of wearing jumpsuits or catsuits has its advantages. Firms such as KNWLS, Marine Serre, and Balmain, among many others, have shown that catsuits can be very versatile, making them look elegant when combined with heels, or casuals if worn with sandals or tennis 

The new? As you may have already noticed, this season is for the daring, so in the catsuit, we see transparencies again, sequins, but above all the cut-out trend stands out, with asymmetrical openings. 

If this is too much for you, black and flowers are the most discreet version for this season.

The fringes

Of course, in this fashion review for women’s fashion 2022, fringes could not be missing. 

We began to see them in the 2021/2022 fall-winter season and their acceptance was so great that we now have the summer version. 

And what is the summer version? During the last catwalks, we saw fringes on jackets, blouses and dresses, but without a doubt, the new thing in terms of fringes is short skirts with long fringes.

Dresses with pants are back 

The retro trend of the 2000s continues in fashion and in street style, dresses combined with pants continue to gain ground. Are you afraid that your combination will not achieve that street style effect? 

Don’t worry, this season we saw this combination with any kind of dress; short, long, closed and open. 

In any case, if you are looking for fashion tips to use this combination, these are the two that you should keep in mind this season: 

1) Cowboy Jeans are the best to combine with dresses 

2) Don’t forget it’s summer! Let your skin shine and you’ll be getting the winning combination.

Miniskirts 

Of course, miniskirts could not be missing from this list. And since they returned we have not stopped seeing them in fashion magazines and among the best dressed celebrities. 

Following the edgy summer trend, miniskirts have lived up to their name with really short versions. So it’s time to explore and show your body, take out of the closet those skirts that you no longer used because you considered them too short, and wear them before the end of summer!

The blazers in XL

At the extreme of the miniskirts, we find the Blazers, which during this season we saw them in extra large sizes. With traditional cuts and wide shoulder pads, this season they appear as the perfect piece to counter short and daring garments. 

As you are probably already imagining, a wide Blazer with a miniskirt is the best combination you could have this summer. To give you a good idea of what type of Blazer to wear, run to see the collections of Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana and of course, Prada.

Wide Pants

Wide pants seem will not go away in a while. Whether it’s jeans, formal, or even sport and leggings, width is the key for this season. The fall in bell continues to be the trend.

Well, now you know everything you need to end this spring-summer season with all the styles of fashion trends. 

Do not miss the next edition of this blog to keep up to date with the latest fashion trends and tips so that you always look spectacular, anywhere.

WOMEN TOP 8 TRENDING COLORS OF 2022

Howdy, this is Talha Sakrani from talhasakrani.com, The Men’s and Women’s Fashion Blog. I’m writing about the Women’s Top 8 Trending Colors of this year, 2022.

Each new year, the fashion industry features select colors that end up defining the trends to follow. Certain color pallets typically accompany each of the seasons and correlate to the seasonal collections that are released. Warmer seasons like spring and summer will feature brighter, more vibrant colors, while cooler months like fall and winter feature moodier, darker colors. An interesting phenomenon has emerged with these colors as well. Luxury designers are beginning a new kind of color trend: Claiming colors as their own. Top designers like Louboutin, Hermes, Bottega Veneta, and many others are honing in on one specific shade to become associated with their brand. These colors are unsurprisingly topping the charts for color trends of the year. Below are our findings for the highest trending colors for the year 2022.

Fuchsia

The top trending color of the year gives a bright and dramatic pop to runway outfits seen by designers like Alexander McQueen and Versace: hot pink, specifically fuchsia. This vibrant color called the attention of fashion critics, who in turn placed this highest on the list of color trends for 2022. And it makes sense, seeing as we are witnessing the comeback of trends reminiscent of the 2000s. Bright colors are one of the most recognizable aspects of this earlier time period, and as a result, we are seeing the same pallets reemerge but in a nuanced way. Similarly, the world of fashion was in need of a happy-inducing color pallet to break through the gloomier two years of the pandemic. Fuchsia provides exactly this with its bubbly, energetic influence.

Periwinkle

Although periwinkle didn’t end up being the top color of the year as it was originally predicted to be, it did make the list of the most popular colors featured in fashion this year. Designers like Fendi and Valentino were the first to feature this calming color in their collections for the year. Periwinkle has been featured in a variety of pieces such as matching sets, coats, and skirts. More mainstream and affordable brands are featuring color on pieces like tank tops, heels, and hair accessories. This unique shade can be seen on both men and women, making it a versatile and relatable color to wear.

Kelly Green

The brand Bottega Veneta has done an incredible job snagging this vibrant color and associating it with their brand. When fashion followers see this shade, it becomes almost immediately associated with their designer purses that have taken the industry by storm this year. Kelly Green is a shade that represents youthfulness and elegance, which is a unique and challenging-to-acquire combination. The shade prominently stands out and is most often seen in shoes, handbags, and coats. Although it is obviously seen in high fashion, it has also made its way to mid-level designers. Some particular brands showcasing this color are Banana Republic, Anthropology, and Alo.

Bright Orange

This loud shade has burst its way onto the high fashion scene in a big way. Bright orange is known for its dramatic, vibrant, and eye-catching features. Designers like Michael Kors, Yves Saint Laurent, and Dior included this color in their recent collections. Not only did they include the color, but they also made it the focal point of their pieces. This means entirely bright orange ensembles that demand attention. This can be a difficult color to adorn due to its lack of compatibility with many other shades, but paired with white, cream, or black, it can easily elevate the most simple of outfits.

Lilac

Purple is a color that is reminiscent of royalty. It provides the illusion of class, sophistication, and pure elegance. Because of this, it is easily understood why a shade of purple made its way to the top trending colors of the year. Lilac, specifically, is a shade that blends easily with more dramatic colors or neutrals. Its versatility makes it an obvious choice for A-list celebrities and high fashion designers. Seen in collections by Miu Mui, Gucci, and Stella McCartney, this stunning color is paving the way for a long-lasting spot on the color trend list.

Crisp White

Representing a rebirth, it should come as no surprise that crisp white is topping the charts for trending shades in 2022. Following the previous two years of the pandemic, the reopening of countries and the ability to attend in-person functions such as runway fashion shows call for a clean, neutral, and elegant shade. Designers like Chanel, Christian Dior, and Yves Saint Laurent keep this shade in their collections year after year. This year, a large host of top designers have made crisp white a focus point of their collections. As a result, we are seeing white infiltrate all areas of fashion, and we don’t expect it to go anywhere anytime soon.

Soft Yellow

Yellow tends to be an elusive color that typically misses the top of the charts for fashion trends. It is often considered a spring color, thanks in part to its association with the Easter holiday. This year, soft yellow has joined the powerful colors on the trending list and has made a name for itself with designers like Bottega Veneta and Chanel. One of the traits of this shade that makes it versatile is its ability to err on the neutral side. A very soft yellow can pair easily with denim, brown, or black. It allows for dynamic choices in both handbags and accessories while maintaining a muted tone that doesn’t draw much attention. For these reasons, soft yellow can be considered a staple choice for 2022.

Chocolate Brown

Louis Vuitton has done an incredible job at making brown a recognizable color for their brand. Although this luxury designer is easily considered timeless, they have emerged at the top of the desired trends for 2022. And as a result, chocolate brown has infiltrated the fashion scene in handbags, accessories, and apparel. This rich color is perfect for a fall evening but can also be warmed up by adding a colorful piece to tailor to spring weather. Because of its versatility, we expect chocolate brown to stick around through 2023 as well.

LATEST MEN’S FASHION TRENDS 2022

If you are looking for fashion tips and the latest trends for men, you are on the right blog. I am Talha Sakrani, and I am happy to share the latest fashion trends for 2022 with you. We are right in the middle of the year. The spring/summer 2022 season is almost over. Soon we’ll be seeing the new trends of the fall/winter season on the catwalks.

So far, this year’s men’s fashion trend has been revolutionary, histrionic, and daring. What will the fall and winter season be like? We will find out soon, but first in this ‘Blog’ right here at talhasakrani.com we will review the late fashion men’s 2022. Do not miss this article because I will tell you everything important about how the trends for men are going this year, from jackets, pants, colors, and more. You will find out everything!

Jackets

In this blog we love jackets, so we start here. The spring/summer catwalks of the top designers such as Rhude Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Dior among others, once again rectify the street style this season. This time the Varsity Jacket is the coat that cannot be missing in your closet.

As for something lighter, cardigans or knitted sweaters are today’s trend. Yes, I know, it seems that more than today`s trend, it seems to be the trend for the time of our parents and grandparents. But you already know that fashion is a wheel of fortune that turns and turns. So don’t be shy and dust off that drawer of clothes from your grandparents, you will surely find something to wear before the end of the summer.

Top Parts

It seems like every summer is hotter than the last, and designers know it. For this spring summer season, the fashion trend for men in terms of shirts can be defined with two words, freshness and spaciousness. The oversize cut is on all the catwalks with classic cuts and mostly striped prints. Of course, the most important thing is that it is somewhat loose. How many? As much as possible!

To complement the perfect outfit, knitted vests are still in trend. We have seen them since last summer and it seems that they will not go away so easily. If last summer they had their debut on the catwalks, this summer they have been the favorite accessory of brands like Courreges and Giorgio Armani. The difference? This year has been characterized by showing off skin, so the sleeveless shirts + knitted vest is a great combination.

Pants

We come to the daring part of this season, the lower part. Let’s start with the pants. The seventies flared pants continued to gain ground, and this time they flooded the men’s catwalks.

On the other hand, in the spring-summer seasons, Bermudas are never lacking, and this occasion is no exception. Like pants and shirts, the wider the better. The length on this occasion was kept within the classic parameters reaching from the knee to below it.

For the most daring and those who like to break with schemes and parameters, short skirts have arrived on the men’s catwalks. Fashion is betting more and more on queer or genderless designs that break with the male-female dichotomy.

And on this occasion, the flag of this fashion is carried by men. Again, the amplitude is the characteristic feature; the more the better. Would you dare wear this outfit?

For Important Occasions

If something has changed very quickly in recent years in terms of men’s fashion, it is the concept of elegant and formal. Each season the narrowness and rigidity of the suits and outfits for work are more relaxed. So go saying goodbye to your old suits and ties because it seems that they are gone never to return (In good time!).

This of course does not mean that elegance is dead, on the contrary, it is becoming easier to look elegant on any occasion.

As you may be guessing, this spring-summer 2022 season, baggy suits were a hit on all the catwalks. Probably the increase in the home office since the pandemic made visible how important it is to be comfortable to work. So for our good luck now we can wear formal and elegant suits that are comfortable at the same time. At least that will make the return to the office a little better.

The suit jacket, although not in their entirety, are almost being left off the catwalks to be replaced by matching sets of shirts and pants. Take a look at the new collections from Louis Vuitton, Lanvin, Wales Bonner, Giorgio Armani or Dries, Paul Smith or Wooyoungmi to understand the new concept of formal.

Colors: from the sublime to the eccentric

Well now you know what cuts and styles to use before this spring-summer season ends. Now let’s move on to something no less important, what colors are the protagonists of the fashion trend 2022?

This season the trend is marked by a very interesting combination of colors. Opposites have come together and the catwalks have combined the sobriety of black with the eccentricity of bright and varied colors.

The total black look has triumphed since the spring-summer season of 2021, and this time it returned with more force. Leather is the new element in total black, and it seems that this trend will continue, so it is not a bad idea to invest in a black leather jacket.

On the other hand and on the total extreme, bright tousled colors have lit up the catwalks this season. Pinks, greens, and yellows dominate the scene, whether combined in total looks. The total pink look has gained more strength than the others, especially in social networks and aesthetic trends.

POP MUSIC AND ITS INFLUENCE ON FASHION

Talha Shakir Sakrani
Futuristic Fashion – Listing to Music

In this blog I will explain about Pop Music and Its Influence on Fashion. Fashion and music are ever-changing industries with much more in common than some may think. Both considered forms of self-expression, these art forms commingle in many ways. Pop Music and Its Influence on cultural trends, including fashion, can be witnessed consistently throughout history. As styles of music have shifted through the years, fashion trends have acted as a mirror reflecting these changes. Current trends are a reflection of the most famous artists and their unique styles. Pop music, specifically, has had a massive impact on how fashion has evolved and continues to evolve today.

Think of your favorite pop artist and you’re likely to be able to envision them easily. You can see their face, hair, and style, all of which make them uniquely recognizable. This is no coincidence. Music artists work hard to portray a specific representation that ties directly to their music. Because of this, fans of their music are likely to emulate the parts
of their style that they enjoy most.

A great example of this is Lady Gaga and her eclectic yet relatable style. Her wardrobe consists of loud and vibrant pieces that leave the media talking about her more often than not. Her incorporation of accessories that accentuate her outfits has brought back trends like oversized sunglasses, brightly colored purses, and even gloves. The ability to have widespread influence on fashion trends is just one way in which pop music artists contribute to today’s culture.

Lady Gaga is just one example of a pop artist that has altered fashion trends in the current decade. Here are some more vivid examples of pop music’s influence on the industry today:

Hats

Headwear trends are one of the most frequently changing areas of fashion and are heavily influenced by music videos, paparazzi photos, and interviews. Trends have even shifted towards a seemingly anti-hat movement, in which we have gone months at a time without seeing any artists rocking hats of any style. Currently, artists like Dua Lipa and Justin Bieber have not only brought back hats but have been spotted wearing them on red carpets as well. One example of this is Justin Bieber and his neon pink beanie at the 2022 Grammys. Dua Lipa, on the other hand, has been spotted wearing a bucket hat on many occasions, which originated in the 90s era. These bold choices did not go unnoticed and further fueled the retro-inspired trends that have been making their way back onto the scene.

Purses

Designer brand purses have always been a go-to for successful music artists because
of their ability to influence. Brands like Louis Vuitton, Prada, Dior, and others offer their
bags to celebs due to their ability to be photographed with them. Because of this, designer purses are almost always on-trend. Right now, trends are shifting toward vintage designer bags thanks to the influence of artists like Beyonce and Taylor Swift. A heavy focus on sustainability (thanks in part to climate change) has prompted music artists to reduce, reuse, and recycle. This means seeking out vintage purses that are no longer made. In addition to the sustainability aspect, these purses are also highly desirable due to their exclusivity. Bags that are no longer made are valued much higher than ones being mass-produced right now. This trend is especially beneficial for the planet, which makes it likely to last for quite a while. Technology is one of the few areas likely to suffer from trends such as this. The invention of devices that can rapidly produce mass amounts of products is in increasingly lower demand as A-list music artists preach the importance of sustainability. Even so, it’s likely technology will pivot and find a way to join in on this planet-conscious movement.

Sunglasses

Artists like J-Lo have a knack for bringing back trends that were once big during their prime in the 90s and 2000s. Current trends are geared toward a modern-influenced yet retro vibe, which means oval-shaped, boldly colored, and futuristic styles are what we’re seeing. Styles like aviators and wayfarers are back and better than ever with jazzed-up elements that make them nostalgic yet unique. One of J-Lo’s most popular music videos, Jenny From The Block, shows her in oversized glasses with a thick frame. She was spotted out recently wearing similar glasses, even though this music video was released in 2002. This “style recycle” influences fans of hers from this earlier time period, as well as now, to bring out their older sunglasses which catapults into a full-blown trend.

Dresses

In contrast to recent years, when simplicity and minimalism were the goals for red carpet dresses, bold and daring statement pieces have become the new trend. Artists like Billie Eilish and Lizzo have wowed onlookers at recent events with their unique and frankly eccentric dress choices. Billie showcased a vintage 1920s-inspired look featuring a corset-style bodice at the Met Gala this year, while Lizzo sported a purple see-through mesh dress that wowed. As a result, fashion trends have shifted in this direction as well. You will see far more daring choices being marketed on fashion websites like Revolve, FRWD, and even Nordstrom. This fearless expression of personality from artists has paved the way for the rest of the population to take some bolder fashion risks as well.

As pop music continues to evolve, the fashion industry is sure to follow closely behind. Although this genre consistently offers upbeat, relatable, and energetic tunes, it continues to shift in ways that introduce us to new ideas and imagery. As a result, these two entities work hand-in-hand in shaping the cultural trends we know and love.

THE FUTURE OF FASHION: ROOTED IN THE PAST?

Fashion is easily one of the most fast paced and difficult to anticipate industries, with its trends constantly evolving on us. Gurus all over the world work tirelessly to project what will soon be trendy, what is going out of style, and how to be on top of these ever-evolving changes. What’s “in” is purely a reflection of current times. Whether that be politics, social media influences, worldwide and cultural changes, and of course technology. Ironically enough, the future of fashion trends emerging as of late have not only been seen before but were popular not long ago. The 1990s and Y2K styles that so many of us grew up with have made a reappearance, and much sooner than expected.

Icons like Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Paris Hilton, and Christina Aguilera all offered some unique and at times cringe-inducing looks. Fortunately, the trends that are resurfacing lately take the best of this era and add a bit of modern flair. The influence of technology has allowed the future of fashion industry to level up even the most simple accessories to incorporate ultimate functionality. A few examples of these spruced-up trends are fanny packs, sneakers, denim jackets, plaid flannel shirts, scrunchies, and so much more. Below, we will dive into some of these top 90s and Y2K trends that are back and bigger than ever.

Fanny Packs

While they first emerged in the 1980s, fanny packs kept up their domination in the industry well into the 90s. Neon color combinations made these ‘waist purses’ stand out in the crowd. Now, we are seeing far fewer eye-catching colors and much more neutral tones. Lululemon has created a fashion trend of their own with the emergence of their ‘belt bags’. In essence, these are just fanny packs remarketed and shown with multiple different ways of wearing them. They’ve even gone viral on the app TikTok because of their incredible popularity. Fanny packs, in general, provide both fashion and functionality all in one, making them a great accessory option for people on the go. Back in the 90s, cell phones were not widely used, and even if they were, they were far too large to squeeze into a fanny pack. Now, these packs are perfect to throw your iPhone or Android into while you move around. Multiple pockets allow you to also throw in your AirPods, keys, chapstick, and whatever else you may need when you are on the go.

Denim Jackets

A staple in the 90s and now, denim jackets haven’t changed as drastically as other trends over the years. Although Canadian tuxedos are yet to become socially acceptable again (and thank goodness for that), denim in the form of pants and jackets can be considered timeless for many. The cuts of these jackets are the element that has in fact shifted, and we are now seeing far more cropped and fitted styles as opposed to the more boxy cuts in the 90s. Customizing these fall and winter staples is easy, with a huge variety of washes and styles. A white denim jacket is perfect for a summer evening whereas a dark blue denim jacket can be popped on for a fall stroll. Ultimately, it is a pretty safe bet that denim jackets will be sticking around for the long haul.

Plaid Flannel Shirts

Revisit any iconic movie for the 90s and you can be guaranteed to spot a plaid flannel shirt at some point. These shirts were absolutely everywhere during this era and have made their way back to the top of the fashion trend list for 2022. Muted neutral tones with minimal pops of reds, greens, and blues are the most often seen color schemes for classic flannels. Even the aspect of tying them around your waist has been brought back, which feels like a true ode to the 90s era. This contributes to one of the perks of plaid flannels, which is the ability to throw them on during chillier weather and then tie it around the waist when it heats up.

Bright Watches

Chunky, brightly colored, and minimalistic were the most commonly seen attributes when it came to watches in past decades. Especially in the year 2000, a general rule of thumb was “the brighter the better”. As a result, we saw some gaudy and large wrist accessories. Now, due to the increase in available technology, we can see smartwatches taking the industry by storm. The Apple watch maintains its place as the number one selling smartwatch, and for good reason. Apple has allowed for what seems like infinite possibilities when it comes to watch bands. As a result, there is an option for quite literally every style out there. The ability to match your watch to your outfit each day is a unique ability that previously only existed for those wealthy enough to own hundreds of watches.

One thing is for certain, fashion trends are sure to be recycled at some point in some capacity. If one of your favorite styles is currently on the outs, you may just be in luck in the next few years. As technology, politics, and cultural changes continue to evolve, we will continue to see future of fashion trends fluctuate and shift in order to reflect current times. As they say, the future of fashion industry is like a mirror that reflects the current state of the world. It is truly anybody’s guess as to what will be the next popular trend of 2022.

BLUES ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT BIZ

by Talha Sakrani

I thought of TV, movies, music, modeling, or even owning a production house. I started composing music, modeling, and creating my own unique style of editing. I wanted to be there, but I wondered and daydreamed about it. I got even more tempted when my friends and parents said I should do it. It was the genesis of my life, but I was so caught up in multiple things that I could not start my journey. Suddenly, I realized that I should keep my social media accounts public and start tagging when I post. My social platforms became flush with my content, and I started to have followers in less than a month. I received my first offer from a modeling agency in 2022 for an audition in less than a year, but I couldn’t participate due to my work and other responsibilities. I thought to myself, “I wanted to break into the entertainment industry all my life, and when I got an offer, I was not able to.” Otherwise, if I were selected, I would be modeling in TV commercials, magazines, Netflix, and HULU, and most importantly, I would have achieved my dream. I will still achieve my dream, and I do recommend it to everyone. I believe in living freely and in equality, and that’s why we should have the right to know our rights and the freedom to live by them. We should live on our own terms and listen to what we would like to achieve. Here, I am providing you with the latest Fashion Trends just to keep you updated, so stay tuned.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
