Long before big budget movies, video games, and laptop computers, the circus was the most celebrated event in towns all across America. Even during the Great Depression, businesses and schools closed and crowds lined up to see the most amazing, bizarre, and celebrated circus performers and their fearless feats of daring.
Well, the circus is back in town and is among the hottest fashion trends to hit the New Year, from 'Circus: Britney Spears’ tour to the recently launched website, Tod’s Circus.com, featuring vintage circus inspired t-shirts with a modern twist and a series of classic children’s fairytales designed for iPods and computers.
The new trend of circus chic includes harlequin prints, bold embellishments, and such circus inspired colors as reds and oranges mixed with blacks, golds, and silvers.
Now, with tough economic times and an uncertain future we are all inspired a return to basics, from fashion to family values. And jeans and a t-shirt is the most iconic American fashion there is. To see the magnificent vintage circus t-shirts, go to www.TodsCircus.com.
