I have never been able to figure out why certain trends become popular. Anyone else remember the MC Hammer pants from the 80's? Then there was the huge massive hair for girls at that time. Look at Michael Jackson's single glove fad, and thank heavens no one really followed Madonnas fashion trend. There are more vintage styles like Elvis Presley, who could totally pull off the diamond plate leather jacket look. But why in the world was he so popular? You compare him with the Beatles or basically any fashion magazine picture and it really makes you wonder. Elvis could pull off a buffalo leather jacket while standing in Hawaii under the blazing sun, but could anybody else really manage it?
There must be some sort of recipe for fashion that eludes 75% of the general populace. It's either that or these figures have a massive amount of charisma. However, they say Hitler had charisma, and you rarely see people modeling his mustache. Maybe that was one of the pseudo trends that claims to be popular but never really is. Avril Lavigne's tie look could probably classify as that. She can handle it, but there must be some magic ingredient she and Elvis have in common because there don't seem to be many others like them. Maybe it's in their names...
