Iconic Topshop Pieces From The 2010's

Given the sad news about Topshop this week I thought it was only right to dedicate a blog post to the iconic fashion statements made by them, mainly to teens like myself living through the 2010 era. Topshop was sadly bought over by ASOS this week, meaning all stores have closed and the website is gone. I personally find this upsetting as I used to love my weekly trips with the girls, looking through the clothes on the shop floor only to go home and purchase online anyway, buying from ASOS will not be the same. That being said, Topshop is to blame for a few very questionable fashion choices made by UK teens over the years, so I thought I'd shed some light and take a trip down memory lane in memory of the good times. 


First up, frilly socks. Truly iconic. I used to love my frilly socks, I probably had a pair in every colour and when they started to fade from the wash no doubt I'd be back buying a replacement pair. It was very rare to see me in anything but! Paired with the next item and a pair of Nike blazers, preferably grey, it was an outfit of true style.. back in 2014.


Next, Joni jeans. Joni jeans were the be all and end all of fashion in 2014. There were so many colours to choose from and you also had the option of having rips at the knees or not. You could almost guarantee any teenage girl you seen from 2013-2016 had a pair of Topshop Joni jeans on. They have gone "out of style" and are no longer the fashion statement they used to be, thanks to Tik Tok but I still stand by them as they were 100% the comfiest jeans I've ever owned. Yes they were incredibly skinny but they also had a really high waist and were so stretchy, they were like wearing leggings almost.  

Lastly for Topshop, the parka coats with fur trim collars. With the option of khaki green or black, you had one to match every possible outfit choice. Although usually paired with the Joni jeans and frilly socks combo. 

I couldn't finish this blog post without paying credits to Topman's most iconic fashion piece, maybe ever. The Rihanna top. I think every boy I seen in the summer of 2013 was wearing this top, paired with biege chinos and a zip up hoodie of course. Primark then began to bring out similar styles but they never lived up to the real McCoy.



Thanks for reading today's post, I hope you enjoyed remembering the iconic fits provided to us by Topshop/ Topman and hopefully they weren't just a local thing to me.. We have a lot to thank Topshop for when it comes to the fashion front, although our styles may have changed since 2010 many of us have remained loyal to Topshop, growing up with them. It is sad to see them go from our high streets but thankfully their items are still for sale on the ASOS app and website 👛

Barilla Marketing Technique!

  Hi everyone! I came across a Tik Tok today which put me on to Barilla Italia’s genius marketing strategy and I had to share it!  Barilla is a famous pasta company in the US. It is an Italian family-owned company and started in 1877. They have and specialise in many different shapes of pasta and pasta related products such as sauces etc. But, Barilla have came up with the idea of creating a Spotify account and making a playlist for each pasta box specifically.  Upon looking at the account you can see that they have a range of playlists depending on the type of pasta and the required cooking time, to ensure the pasta is cooked to perfection every time whilst always having a good time cooking it.  For example, there are “Moody Day Linguine”, “Top Hits Spaghetti” and “Best Song Penne”- the songs in each playlist depend entirely on their title and theme and each playlist finishes at the time needed for perfect pasta (e.g 7 or 11 mins). They include many artists and genr...

Does "Normal People" reflect normal TCD life?

Hi everyone!! I thought I'd make today's blog post all about the BBC's "Normal People", discussing my favourite elements and if it creates unrealistic expectations for being a student in Dublin. If you haven't watched it (why???), Normal People was based on Sally Rooney's bestselling novel and tells the tale of an almost unconventional love between main characters Marianne and Connell. They attend the same school, where they initially meet before going to the same university, Trinity College Dublin, a year later.   There are a few reasons why I think Normal People was so popular when it released. The first being, if you're anything like me seeing elements of Irish culture on TV brings you all kinds of joy! Normal People is set in the fictional town of Carricklea however it was filmed in Sligo. I found this was one of the main reasons I chose to watch it as I used to visit Sligo quite a lot as a young child, it was weird to see it featuring in a TV show...
