The reign of the "fun top" is over — long live the "going out pant." If you survived the first low-rise jeans era, you can make it through any impractical era of pants.

You can never go wrong with a good lob. According to Los Angeles-based hairstylist Rala Alsaadi, shoulder-length hairstyles are here to stay and will be the ultimate cool girl cut in the upcoming seasons. "There’s no right or wrong way to wear shoulder-length hair, we can expect to continue to see both undone and polished styles," she says. Their versatility allows people to channel a look for any occasion — and from any decade — as they're both long enough to throw up into a chic updo and short enough to curl for a night out.

The denim maxi skirt is back — but she’s not the same girl you used to know. Long jean skirt outfits have been popping up everywhere, and the best looks are more sexy, less frumpy.

Oh my who would have thought 🤷‍♀️

We found this interesting! American moonshiners were in desperate need of avoiding cops during the Prohibition era (1920-1933), and thus, these heifer-heels were born. They’d use these puppies to look like cows when traipsing through fields or across other terrain that might leave footprints for the authorities to track.

These shoes bring a whole new perspective to “hoofin’ it.”
