HOW TO WEAR MODERN RETRO

They are just as stylish now as they were in the 60’s and 70’s.

Think oversized circles and squares in everything from necklaces to sarongs. The best thing about this retro print is that it also falls into the minimalist category which means uber modern and timeless.

Now is the time to embrace a shorter style of neckwear.

It’s a little bit disco inferno and a lot stylish. We’re talking choker necklaces, skinny neck scarves and lariat necklaces. They are simple, easy to wear (with anything e.g a high or low neckline) and they’re unfussy which gives them staying power.

From bohemian festival-inspired bags to woven belts and fedora hats.

Sometimes all you need are textural elements to add more of a retro-vibe to your look and fabrics like suede and leather are classics that won’t ever date. For a modern twist, go for a leather short or skinny pant.

For a timeless accent add a long, dangly earring.

To ensure maximum staying-power go for understated and simple styles like a long fine chain earring or geometric metal styles. Tassels, feathers and fabric earrings are another fun and affordable way to indulge in a bit more retro funk.

Think circular frames and cats-eye styles with chunky frames.

Oversized eyewear is the ultimate nod to a bygone era while still holding its style cred too. Of the retro-inspired styles you’ll never hate, cat’s eye, rounded squares and aviator frames are the way to go.

Choose accessories with a natural or woven element.

Accents made with natural materials and fibres will channel a bohemian feel while also channeling the always trending, clean and simple look.
