Retro Trends That Are Making a Comeback Thanks to VSCO Girls

Sometimes, it’s hard to let go of the past— so, we don’t. We created a list of trends that have made their way back to popularity and some that never quite left but were redesigned.

Spot how many of these trends you’re currently a part of yourself. You may be a VSCO girl and not even know it!

Scrunchies

One aspect of the ’90s that’s really coming back in full-swing are scrunchies. Those fun elastic hair-ties covered with an assortment of colors seemed to lose their touch for a decade, being deemed uncool to wear.

Thanks to the ever popular VSCO girl aesthetic, scrunchies are trendy again. But honestly, did they ever truly leave our accessory bins?

Bowl Cuts

Yes, the haircut your mom gave you. Although bowl cuts were mainly popular in the 1980s, this haircut never left and we’re not entirely sure it was ever truly trendy until recently.

Celebrities like Timothee Chalamet and Charlize Theron have been rocking this hairstyle in 2019 and making it look good enough to go out and buy a bowl for ourselves.

The Term “Salty”

The term “salty” originated in 1938, meaning “cranky” or “feisty.” It’s linked to descriptions of sailors as being hotheaded.

The present day use of the term is primarily to call out when someone really looks like they’re “over it” or are acting defensive.

Fanny Packs

Popular in the 1980s, fanny packs have had their fair share of faux resurgence— fizzling out before picking up enough momentum.

For the last few years, fanny packs have been seen on runways and the streets again, this time with a newfound love that doesn’t seem to be fizzling out any time soon.

Give these “waist-bags” their credit, practical and convenient and now with high-fashion status.
