What is called stylish recently

After a while blogwalking to some fashion blogs. I conclude that what defines style recently, among others, are:

1. vintage stuff: difficult definition (I'm sure we can always go to wikipedia, but I'm just to lazy this time). So perhaps it is a piece that would bring one's memory to the past, looking stylishly old (not the general classic-kinda thing).

2. thrifted stuff: pieces from second hand shops, flea market etc. It's stylish partly I guess because of the recent eco-awareness. Also, some of stylistas thinks thrifted stuffs would allow them a discretionary against current trend, or to acquire their own personal style. As I blogwalk more and more, the trend is evident.

4. Do-It-Yourself (DIY): almost all stylistas do some DIYs. It requires creativity, and sometimes they are amazing.

5. Color clash mix and match: matchy-match color combo is not acceptable currently. Some goes to the point of hurting the eyes, but some manages to simply stand out.

6. Layering. It's not only in Japan anymore.

7. Current hypes include: geeky glasses, vintage dresses, blazers, tights and all kinds of leggings and socks, ankle boots and pump shoes that covers up to the ankle (dunno the exact term), underwear garment-inspired (like the one worn often by Dita von Teese and singer Katy Perry), various kinds of hairpiece (usually goes with the one mentioned previously, results in an appearance of a cabaret dancer), belts (big, medium, small, wearing belts defines waist), clutch.

Note: most of the current hypes do not suit me, but nevermind, I'm having fun just observing
