Relating to or imitating the styles, designs, or fashion of the past, especially the 1950s or 1960s.
From Latin 'retro' meaning 'backwards' or 'behind.' Shortened from 'retrospective,' it became popular in the 1970s to describe deliberately old-fashioned styling.
The retro trend shows that humans naturally look backward to find coolness—every generation thinks something from 20-30 years before is 'vintage cool,' which means today's embarrassing fashion will be tomorrow's retro gold!
