Americana Dreams
Don’t let the current economic situation get you down. Brush the grey and gloominess off your chic shoulders and embrace a fashion trend that’s sending out positive vibes. “Vintage” Americana reminds us all of more prosperous eras of the past.
Essentially, Americana represents taking pride in our American heritage, and we are seeing this trend carried off the runways, across the markets, and down to the streets.
Proud to Be an American Flag Skirt
It’s not just about wearing the American flag, even though the familiar red, white, and blue colors of the iconic image are used regularly. There is a deeper meaning associated with this trend. It’s about brands, businesses, and people returning to their roots, and holding close the knowledge of what defines them. It’s about taking pride in ourselves and what makes each and everyone of us “who we are”.
When digging further into this Americana trend, take into consideration other trends that are current and how they are connected. Think nostalgic thoughts of traditions, values, and authenticity. Handcrafted trends like crochet, beading and macramé, or the (HUGE) tribal trend of Native American prints and colors are also trends associated with the Americana heritage.
