Experience 100 Years of American Fashion in This 2-Minute Video

This is definitely the year of the turn back time viral video. Thanks to various YouTube series we’ve been able to experience the evolution of beauty, an aging couple and even the looks of proms past. Who needs history class these days? ;) This week brings us a time lapse of American fashion from 1915 to today and all we have to say is it’s been one stylish century.

This fashion-forward highlight reel, created by Mode + modeled by YouTuber Stephanie Villa, showcases the variety of fashion from the super conservative looks of the early 1900s and the Great Gatsby-inspired ’20s to the more laid-back casual approach to style in the early days of 2000 and today.

Throughout the two-minute video, viewers will experience every type of look from the Audrey Hepburn + Mad Men styles of the ’50s + ’60s to the psychedelic jumpsuit of the ’70s. Lest we forget — how could we?! — there’s also features of the fringe-friendly, crimped ’80s attire and the grunge glam approach of the ’90s. We definitely don’t miss those approaches to fashion…

Which decade(s) of American fashion do you incorporate into your style? Let us know in the comments.

    Loungefly Gilmore Girls Icons Mini Backpack

    I was absolutely gagged the first time I saw this backpack. Tiny pizza slices, both the Luke's Diner and Chilton logos, AND the gazebo? I need this, like, right now.

    Sunday Best

    Sunday Best Peggy Sweater

    Consider this white cable knit sweaterthe Rory Gilmore sweater for the season. I cannot stop wearing mine. It's super soft and the perfect medium weight (meaning you won't be cold but you also won't feel weighed down). It's also not itchy at all. I love wearing it with jeans, or tucked into trousers or a skirt.

    Amazon

    Cotton Baseball Hat

    For a more subtle nod to the fashion on the show, a blue baseball cap gives major Luke Danes vibes without having to walk around wearing Gilmore Girls merchandise. Wear it with a crewneck and oversized coat now (hello '90s "It" girl!) and a tee shirt come spring.

    Book of the Month

    Book of the Month

    Handker Bandanas

    Colorful Bandana

    For another low-key nod to the ultimate BFF's, grab a bandana in your favorite color (like this one that uses untreated, non-GMO cotton!). In true Y2K fashion, Sookie and Lorelai wear bandanas throughout the show, so this is a super fun way to incorporate their style into your own closet this winter.

    Etsy

    Dragonfly Necklace

    A delicate dragonfly necklace is a beautiful layering piece that will add summer cheer to the dreariest of winter days and remind you of Dragonfly Inn at the same time. The fact that dragonflies represent new beginnings is just the cherry on top.
