So, they decided to revive vintage trends to stand out. Here are the top 10 retro trends from the past making a comeback:
1. Tie Dye Sweatshirts
Tie Dye Sweatshirts became popular in the 80s & 90s across the United States when people were bored. They decided to tie their old shirts & spread dyes over them intentionally.

Clothes with strip patterns were only worn by prisoners, criminals, and clowns. Later in the 20th century, it was seen as navy personnel's uniform & embraced by pop artists.
