Since miniskirts are more popular now than anything that goes past the knee, you have to be careful when incorporating a swing skirt into your wardrobe. Just because you're stealing styles from the 50s doesn't mean that you want to look like you just stepped out of the 50s. But as long as you pair it with the right blouse, you should be able to pull off the look.

80's Oversized Tops

80's Oversized Tops In the 80s, women liked to wear shirts that would fall down their shoulders. There are plenty of shirts like that in stores now, so why don't you buy some? You can pair it with some leggings and it'll look like your own personal dress.

90's Overalls

90's Overalls Believe it or not, overalls aren't always a fashion mistake. If you wear it with the right shoes and shirt, then you can rock a look that most people aren't brave enough to even attempt. Don't assume that overalls aren't for you, because they might be the look you've been waiting for. Head to the store and at least try them on in the dressing room, even if you don't go home with them.

The past doesn't have to stay in the past. As long as you figure out a clever way to incorporate these styles, no one will bat an eye, unless they're trying to wink at you. Have you ever stolen any styles from these fashionable decades?

The 40's cocktail dresses were gorgeous!

I'm guilty of the oversized shirts! No it's not flattering but it's super comfy! And please....no overalls.

Men shirts do not count as over sized tops from the 80s

When I think of the 80s two things come to mind: fashion crimes and either really good or really bad music (no in between)

Yes love the bell bottoms

Omg these are perfect! Especially the bell bottoms!

Bell bottoms are wonderful ... Gives you curves!

I'd say tartan or plaid from the 90s rocks!
