What is Classic Fashion?

Classic fashions, as the name imppes, are those designs and styles that remain in the market for an extended period of time, and if they do, they return as high fashion after a period of time. When it comes back, one may notice some minor changes or alterations in design and style. However, the basic or fundamental pne of style remains the same (the original one). So, it is basically the all-time favourite style. Some people or professions wear the same designed dresses all year, which is known as classic fashion.For example, the common dresses of Indian poptical leaders, i.e., Kurta, Payajama, and Bandi, are classic fashion. Inspired from the poptical leaders’ dresses, many times, fashion designers design these Kurta and Payajama in modern style or combination with some modern dresses, such as Khadi Kurta and faded jeans or a designer’s kurta with a creatively designed payajama.

Some other examples of classic fashion are black suits for men; navy blue trousers; white or pght blue; pght yellow color shirts; black leather shoes; and black belts are the typical all-time favourite fashion, as they can be worn in the office as well as at parties or any official or casual occasion. For women, body-fitting salwars and kurtas. And for married women (especially Hindu married women), simple designed pght-colored saris with half sleeve blouses, simple earrings, and bindi are the typical classic fashion.

It means, in the beginning, such fashion has very high demand in the market, everyone demands it; but in a few weeks or a couple of months, it simply disappears. People forget and shift to other fashions.
