This week’s trend is all about the 60’s and 70’s. From midi skirts, to frilly button blouses to neutral camel and orange tones and prints, retro styles have been seen in store windows, racks and shelves everywhere. The colors complement the autumn weather and give an earthy feel that is laid back and stylish. Oranges, reds, browns, camels and tans are the base of these trends, yet brighter color patterns can also be found. The style is A-line skirts, wedge heels, floppy hats and lace up boots, and button up blouses. One important thing to note is that though the trend is back, it still needs to be updated and modernized. AKA, you probably can’t just throw on your mom’s throwback blazer over jeans and call it a day. Accessorize, cinch it with a belt, or add modern elements to the look to make it look like you’re in the now, and not stuck in a time warp.
