Most iconic fashion items from the past 50 years
Obviously, like me, some of you haven’t been alive for 50 years, but as the saying goes – “Fashion goes full circle”. We often see trends from decades past rearing their heads again. From the little black dress to the Leather Biker Jacket, some items have stuck, refused to age and have remained timeless.
A recent poll revealed the top 50 all-time most iconic items that we have invested in and cherished since 1970. I have decided to filter these down to a personal top 20 – I wonder how many of the following you have in your wardrobes, or alternatively HAD at some point in your lives?
