ALL IN THE DETAILS: Mod About It

It’s no secret that vintage clothing has been a huge frenzy over the last few years in the fashion industry. Regardless of the era, this trend has inspired the masses to take greater interest in searching and digging through thrift stores and online for vintage pieces, and looking for vintage replicas that mimic throwback styles.

This Fashionista’s look is reminiscent of sixties mod. Taking inspiration from fashion icons from the decade like Twiggy and Jane Birkin to create this look, it’s clear through her use of styling that she is mixing both modern and vintage inspired pieces to create this outfit. While the black open back bodysuit and high waisted striped tied trousers are the two main pieces that focus the look, the details in her accessories play on the vintage aspect and help bring it to life. While sling back heels have been made modern throughout the years, they were originally seen as a staple in previous decades. As seen in the online catalogs at Urban Outfitters, or perhaps Taylor Swift’s street style throughout the years, adding a vintage handbag to your look is one if the easiest ways to incorporate a vintage feel into your outfit.

How To: Like the look but afraid of looking like you’re wearing a costume? Simply mix modern accessories into your outfit. While the emphasis of your look will still be focused on the vintage details, adding a modern twist will add a greater attention to the vintage aspect and help you refrain from looking like you planned your Halloween outfit early.
