Trends So Yum We Gotta Share

For Years Women Have Been Rocking Male Trends And Giving All Fashionable Hunks Out There A Run For Their Money.

This All Started Wish Fashion Legends Such As Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel:

 Coco's  Designs Were Based On Elegance In Its Simplest Form. Coco Was Responsible For Introducing Relaxed Dressing, She Did This Mainly By Replacing Impractical Clothing With Functional Yet Highly Stylish Clothing. She Gained Some Experience In Dressmaking And Millinery Before Working In A Hat Shop In Deauville, France. 

Coco Used Her Milliner Skills To Open Shops In Paris, Deauville, And Biarritz . Coco's Stores Were Quickly Recognized For Having Top Designs And She Was Dubbed 'The Designer Of The 1920s'

Coco's Practical Yet Classy Clothing Began An Era Of More Appropriate Casual Dressing For Activities Such As Relaxing Outdoors, Horse Riding Etc Without Uncomfortable Additions In Clothing (Found At That Time )Such As Corsets. Coco Managed To Liberate Women With Loosely Fitting (Yet Figure Complimenting) Garments That Although Greatly Resembling The Masculine Trends Of Her Time Quickly Became An Undying Trend In Women's Clothing That We Still Find Today .
