I think it is repeating too, but in a cuter manor. I mean I am 14, and yea I wear leggins, big sunglasses, ripped jeans, and all the clothes my mom more but also that weird hair do isn't coming back and I will not stand for it cuz its so ugly! I mean, its just so frizzy looking and the straight look is in now or the layed back look with like a touch of curl to ur hair but no curl. or should I say no FRIZZY curls. those are totally out! cause people still curl their hair, well, none of my friends do but I guess some peeps my age do...

right now we are re-creating the 80's in fashion. look at the "skinny" pants for example. it is all a new version of an old trend. before that, it was the 70's, 60's, then 50's. i have recently seen the 90's coming back as well, with grunge-like flannel shirts. they are more tailored though, instead of super baggy as they were in the 90's.
look into the fashion in music videos. that can give you great examples of style in the 80's & 90's because that is all MTV did was play music videos then. imagine that... music tv playing music!!! haha... anyhow, mtv was oh so super cool and hip in those days, so they are a good source of style reference.

Well, the 50's style (jeans, white t-shirt, scarf in hair)came back in the 80's ....rockabilly...which is back now.
70's styles (flare pants, polyester suits, disco outfits) came back in the 90s and Madonna with her new album is using that look.
hope that helps.
