Fashion is tricky. Sartorial selections that seem hip and edgy often end up looking foolish years, months or even days later. Who among us hasn't suffered the heartbreak of a Dorothy Hamill 'do or a pastel "Miami Vice" suit with matching Sonny Crockett stubble or, gulp, a Member's Only jacket?
See, many a fashion faux pas occurs when the unsuspecting jump on a fad instead of a trend. The difference? Fads fade, while trends endure and evolve. Trucker hats, Mukluks and red Kabbalah strings? Fads (we hope). Denim and T-shirts? Trends. To define the biggest fashion moments of the modern American era, we decided to begin on a high note (thigh high, that is). And for those with closets crammed with outmoded outfits, take heart. We hear Member's Only jackets are hip again ... well, at least they are this week.
