Hi, nan!

Hope you’re well and so is the grandpa. Sorry we can’t visit you for your birthday because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s so sad...

Do you remember you promised to write about what the fashion was like when you were a school girl and what you were wearing back then. Really need it for my fashion Instagram.

Claire.

Hi, love!

It’s breaking my heart not to see you this year. Hope we’ll meet soon.

Sure, here’s what I remembered, but mail me, if you want more. Remember your nan hates those Skypes and Zooms of yours. :)

I started school in the early 60s, so I was 16 in the mid 1970s. I remember that we cared about fashion a lot. Back then we didn’t have Fashion TV or a lot of fashion magazines, or fashion Instagram bloggers that you have today. And we weren’t very excited with what we could buy in clothes shops either. In my class there was a girl whose parents were working in the fashion business, so her clothes always looked cool. I secretly copied her style and thought I was cool too. I liked my blue jeans and a baggy jumper that my granny knitted for my 16^th birthday. I also liked my polka-dotted dress and polka-dotted blouse. Polka-dots were very popular then! We wore both skirts and trousers but when I was 16, trousers were becoming more and more popular with girls. I liked trousers much better – they were very casual and comfortable, but I also wore skirts. The funny thing about skirts is that they had become shorter by the time I finished school, but I never liked them. I wore knee-length and longer skirts. I thought my legs looked nicer with them. :)

You also asked about fashion trends. Well, we had a lot of hair! Even when the hair was short we made it look as if we had a lot of it – we used hair driers to make our hair stand up and look bigger. Guess you would think your nan’s got crazy if you saw me with such hair now. How fast are things changing...

As for the fashion today it’s different for adults and teenagers. It has always been like this, but in general I think that when I was young we didn’t have a big choice of colours, materials and designs that were OK to wear. We didn’t understand then that one design wouldn’t look good on everybody – on tall and short, skinny and plump people. Now you have more freedom to express yourself in your clothes, so many opportunities. Almost any colour or material or shape can look OK on people. Now it’s more important how people put items of clothes together and what style they choose for different occasions.

Love you, dear.
