On Elvis Presley’s 86th birth anniversary, here are a few looks inspired by him for he was and will always been and will always be the fashion icon of his era.
1. Wide-legged Trousers
Well, you might have seen several women wearing wide-legged pants nowadays but how many of you knew that this fashion-trend was actually brought forth by a man? It was Elvis Presley who wore them and this trend was the highlight of 2020.
2. Leather Suits
You are lying if you have not dreamt of owning a sexy faux-leather suit! Elvis Presley wore them back in the 1950s and they still make so much sense. Well, even Ross from FRIENDS had a pair of leather pants. Trying hard not to recall how it ended up but still, are parties without at least one leather dress parties at all?
3. Cuban Collar Shirts
Elvis Presley outfits make a lot of sense to us in 2021 and ‘dudes’ donning Cuban collar shirts, did you know they were worn almost a century back? Who wants a trip to Hawai when 2021 and Presley bring to you to coolest shirts of the year!
4. White Collared High Jumpsuits
I don’t feel any shame in saying that 80% of women’s fashion in the 21st century is inspired by the legend, Elvis Presley. He wore white-collared jumpsuits even before when they were a thing. The unforgettable jumpsuit with work done in golden and silver stones was the highlight of fashion trends in the 1900s and it still continues!
5. Blousons
Well, well, well fashion influencers these days often put a lot of emphasis on blousons but yes, they were Elvis Presley’s thing even before the Internet was born! He wore them with pizzazz and the blousons still live with us! Wear it over a dress or a gown for all we care but do not forget to thank the God of Fashion for bestowing cool trends upon us.
Elvis Presley was a true fashion icon. He was the man who shaped the future of style in the United States and we are ever grateful!
He died at 42 because of drug abuse but his fashion legacy still lives with us.
