3 Must-Know Tips About Modernizing An Old Trend
I recently- and am still- sorting through my bins of last year’s summer clothing. It’s quite a project because some of it is new- a few things still have tags!- and some of it is from years past, not just last year. So… voila! I came across this cap-sleeve blazer that I got from Express years ago. Whatever happened to this trend? It’s a perfectly practical piece to wear to the office, so I believe it should really be a staple.
So today, let’s learn about how to style this old trend to make it new, again!
3 Tips You Need To Know About Modernizing An Old Trend
You can never go wrong with classic trends! A classic look is both timeless and chic- and it’s the entire look, not just a piece. By blending your old trend in with classics or staples, it gives off the illusion that it’s also timeless.
Classic: Wear it with a solid oxford top and a pencil skirt

Great tips for bringing back old trend! I have two or three cap sleeved blazers and was about to get rid of them. Maybe I should give them another chance. Love your skirt and bow blouse!

I really agree with all of your tips about rocking an "old" trend. I also agree with you on "why did this go out of style?" about your cap sleeve blazer! I had one that I loved for years and it always came in so handy. I finally got rid of it but you're right – it's so practical it should really be a classic piece!
