5 Nostalgic Fashion Trends Having a Major Comeback Right Now

While the working wardrobes of the British royal family may not be all that relatable to most, their Balmoral looks are much more accessible to us regular folk. Specifically, we’re  looking to copy the ‘fits captured in photos of Queen Elizabeth tromping around her Scottish residence wit a far more casual vibe than her matching skirt suits and pillbox hats in London. Her Barbour barn coats and Wellies partnered with patterned scarves tied around the head evoke a feel not just of the ‘60s, but even older still. It’s a throwback look that feels almost as old as the Windsor line itself (not quite, but certainly back to the turn of the century). Capes and brooches, two other royal staples, are also making their way into the zeitgeist, adding a bit of pomp and circumstance to your basic cold weather capsule wardrobe. The fun of this nostalgic trend is all in the combination of incredibly practical pieces with supremely frivolous ones. Because knotting a silk Burberry scarf over one’s head and pinning a sparkling brooch to the outside of one’s waxed Barbour coat does feel wonderfully campy, in all the best ways, no?
