A Touch of Retro

As stores reveal their spring and summer lines, it’s clear that retro styles aren’t going away anytime soon.  With such a strong presence, it can feel overwhelming to maintain your own style while trying the latest trend.  Luckily, retro is all about having fun with your outfit and expanding your definition of fashion. Here is some inspiration to help you take your style back in time.

If you fell in love with Jackie Burkhart, but you aren’t ready to commit to that much color, try adding a silk scarf to your belt loop or around your neck! This accessory will instantly add a touch of glamour, proving that you’re not afraid to take risks. Silk gives any outfit an upgrade with its luxurious side of the retro world.

If silk isn’t calling your name, try a more daring option - bell-bottom jeans.  If you’re like me, you are a firm believer in skinny jeans and leggings, so the thought of flared jeans seems terrifying.  Bell-bottoms are by-far the most fun part of retro fashion. Keep it casual, like a basic denim, or go full Coachella vibes and rock some patterns. These magical pants are just as versatile as your favorite skinnies. Embrace the retro part within and flare out your style!

Ringer tees are back and better than ever. Most of these tees already have a have retro designs on them right off the mannequins!  These shirts are soft, casual, fun, and most importantly they’re a staple from the 70’s. Embrace the decade!

The easiest and most fun retro trend to return is rainbow. Elaine Taylor is pictured, looking as fabulous as always.  Add a bold-patterned top to catch everyone’s attention and prove that you’re not afraid of a little color. It’s hard to feel sad when you’re the embodiment of a rainbow.  This trend first appeared two years back when brands like Brandy Melville created t-shirts with a rainbow stripe. Think of this as the updated, more retro version.
