Fashion inspired by the 1960s is making a huge comeback this fall, and I am beyond excited. The '60s was an era full of contrast; androgynous, mod looks à la Twiggy and very Mad Men-esque ensembles with fitted silhouettes and sophisticated, feminine pieces were both popular at different points in the decade.
One thing is clear though: the '60s can offer fashion inspiration for almost everyone. Below are three outfit ideas that will add a '60s flair to your wardrobe. Scroll down to see all of the looks:
You Are Such a Babydoll
Dress, Socks, Bag, Coat, Shoes
The first look is basically a mash-up of girly and structured elements. I love how the flirty babydoll dress is complemented by the big bouclé coat. Over-the-knee socks and pointy-toe shoes add even more of a '60s flair to the outfit. The bag provides a pop of color, and its pastel hue ties in with the blush-colored dress.
A Mod Take on Plaid
For a more preppy yet equally mod take on '60s fashion, I chose these gorgeous cropped navy-and-emerald plaid pants, and paired them with a cozy gray turtleneck sweater. (By the way, I'm currently obsessed with sweater like this - the bigger the collar, the better).
A nice satchel emphasizes the preppiness even more, as do these classic oxford flats. What I like the most about this outfit is that it incorporates different colors without looking over-the-top.
Low-Waist Charm
Dress, Blouse, Shoes, Tights, Bag, Lipstick
This last outfit based on the '60s is Mad Men-worthy. The low-waist dress is instantly flirty and playful, but also looks glamorous. With knit tights and a short sleeveless blouse layered underneath the dress, you can easily stay warm and look cute on a chilly fall day. Grab Mary-Jane flats and a neutral tote, then complete the look with a polished red lip.
