4. 1997 FASHION
The 1990s cycle of a trend was not that much
different from today: first something's really in,
then it's really out, then it makes a triumphant
return, cooler, modernized, and ready to be worn
again. That's kind of what happened when it
came to '90s staples. A few years ago, rocking a
tracksuit out and about might have been
perceived as outdated and lazy. Now? It's near
impossible to find a boy/girl who doesn't have
one in his/her closet.
