Girls paired them with saddle shoes and bobby socks for sock hops.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though they symbolized innocent rebellion, these voluminous skirts required special hangers and took up half your closet space!<\/p>\n\n\n            \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

The Beatles rocked them, making every fashion-forward man desperate for one.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the trend collapsed faster than you could say &#8220;Yellow Submarine.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n            \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Pure fashion statement.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Funny how we thought sweaters for individual legs made sense!<\/p>\n\n\n            \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Made from horse, goat, or human hair, these massive headpieces were powdered white.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They housed mice, smelled terrible, and cost fortunes!<\/p>\n\n\n            \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11.

Early 1910s women embraced this bizarre trend, sometimes requiring a walking stick for balance.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unsurprisingly, practical concerns eventually tripped up this ridiculous fashion statement.<\/p>\n\n\n            \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.
