Rich colors–maroon, burnt orange, navy blue–are it colors for the season. Bell bottoms, wide-leg pants, high-waisted pants, sweaters, lounge-y button-downs, suede and lace are all back in style too. What do all of these things and colors have in common? They’re vintage inspired!
But how can you make them work for you without looking dated? Take inspiration from the high-waisted pants, center in the photo. A thicker waistband can draw in more of the waist and create the illusion of a smaller waist. High-waisted pants, skirts, and jeans are awesome because they sit at or slightly above your natural waist, therefore creating a slimming effect and very little chance of a muffin-top.
Tip: Keep hair natural, air dry it, in order to preserve the vintage/just out of bed look. This also prevents heat damage and keeps hair healthier!
What about the button-downs in retro colors, like on the left? Make them work for you at all occasions. Buy shirts that are able to be transitioned from office to happy hour. Colors like teal, navy, maroon, deep purple and brown are all good bets. And what about that suede jacket? Invest in a great suede jacket with a contemporary look that will last for years; try microsuede if you want a more durable coat with the same suede-look. Remember that jackets can always be reinvented in the future if trends drastically change!
