00:00 Fashion Trends and Classic Style
Many people assume that fashion trends and Classic Style aren’t compatible, but believe it or not, we disagree!
00:10 Fashion Is Cyclical
While fashion may change, it still has to get its inspiration from somewhere, and more often than not, the best source for it is from the past. Elements or design features that seem completely unique still often have something that can be traced back to classic style.
01:31 "Rediscovering" Classic Style
Many trends are revivals of much older style conventions. Neo-Edwardian fashions regained some popularity in the 1960s.
Classic Style elements are often revived as trends precisely because Classic Style is so versatile, flattering, and appealing. Classic Style has survived for decades and weathered many changes and trends.
02:47 Some Changes Can Be Good
It’s important to remember that Harrington, leather, safari, and field jackets were once just trends when incorporated into Classic Style daywear rather than workwear. But they eventually earned their place in classic style as casual and business-casual staples that are now timelessly appealing.
On the other hand, that doesn’t mean everything that’s trendy will stand the test of time but some innovations are genuine improvements over what came before.

05:25 Experiment with a Style You Didn't Know About
Trends can inspire you to try something you wouldn’t otherwise attempt. Trending style variations initially seemed like gimmicks pushed to “rebrand” classic style with its own version of fashion.
The Classic Style conventions behind them weren’t inherently bad, and became perfectly acceptable inclusions within a classic wardrobe.
08:44 Moderate Trends
It’s safe to say that the world of fashion overexaggerates things sometimes. But, some brands play into these trends with restraint and make them their own.
11:10 Conclusion
Fashion is cyclical, but it still has to come from somewhere. Meaning, that some trends will align with classic style hallmarks and you can safely broaden out your own preferences and taste by remembering the two don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
