Fashion by the decade: 8 Style Panel members share their favourite retro-dressing tips
The nineties may have made a comeback on the runways of late, but designers seemed to have an even bigger throwback for the upcoming Fall 2014 season. From ladylike dresses in sixties-inspired optical prints to the bright neon pops of the ’80s, it looks like it’s time to hit the thrift shops. There’s no doubt that some decades are definitely easier to channel over others, however, that shouldn’t dissuade us from experimenting with trends we once oh-so-loved. To lend us a hand in tackling how to dress for each decade, this week we asked Style Panel the hypothetical question: If they can transport back in time to their favourite fashion decade, which would it be? So, whether you want to embrace your inner flower child of the ’70s or have a soft spot for the roaring ’20s, you can bet we’ve got all the style inspiration you need.
Judging from this week’s Style Panel, the seventies was a clear favourite. While Barbara Ann’s Style Blog’s Barbara Ann Solomon borrowed and reworked a timeless fave from her mom’s closet, Jill Lansky of The August Diaries shows off her best take on the decade in a powerful look that includes highwaist flared jeans. Mo Handahu of The Lion Hunter is no stranger to loud prints, so it seemed only natural for her to love the eighties. Bringing back vintage pieces from her teen years, she carried them through and refined in ways that work perfectly for the current decade. And as for the nineties kids, Style Worthwhile’s Jacquelyn Son and newest member Lara Cardoso’s Lara Cardoso was all about the minimalism. Loving the simple and sleek nature found in this decade, these two bloggers showed off their looks in monochromatic shades. Oh, and if you need tips on how to wear Birkenstock sandals, Jacquelyn is your girl.
