If you feel like you’ve stepped through a time machine every time you scroll through Instagram or the fashion pages of a magazine, you’re not alone.
Fashion has taken a nostalgic turn, with some of the biggest styles from past decades (like bucket hats, panel tops and mom jeans) re-entering the mainstream and taking over our fashion scene.
But what’s not to love? These staples have become some of the most popular items to date, and even more so, evolved over the years and taken on new designs, styles and transformed into even better versions of the original once-loves item.
MoreThanGood Mag caught up with Hardley Matlwa-Seleka, Founder of South African Kasi Fashion brand, Atlantic “Apara O Tlale”, who shares 5 fashion items which have survived the test of time and evolved to become something even better with their unique features and qualities.
