Futuristic Clothing Ideas

[Euchre]

It's my observation that fashion trends since somewhere in the era of the Renaissance can be traced to a previous fashion trend. Even the 'street urchin' and 'grunge' looks of the 80's and 90's respectively were pretty much the assemblage of the flotsam and jetsam of previous fashions. If you wanted to use a timeframe relative to our real one, I'd say look back 10, 30, and 100 years and guess which will probably seem most interesting in the time you wish to portray. (Of course if the timeframe is more than 10 years hence, it'd be pure guessing. Same for 30, etc.) If you think fashion may be more truly novel in the era you're using, it'll still likely be based on elements that exist now - and probably combined in ways not expected. You just never know how some might apply existing clothing to new uses.
