Trend 1920s: How to Concoct a Look of the Roaring Twenties?

Podium views and driven by the success of The Artist, the fashion of the 20s is trying to get a place in the sun this season. Some tips to adopt it.

Mostly noticed at the Gucci Spring-Summer 2012 fashion show, fashion inspired by the Roaring Twenties is slowly coming back. If you think that the spirit of the 1920s is not really compatible with the blazing sun and that the Charleston dresses evoke you more frayed mops Macumba theme nights rather than the glorious toilet The Great Gatsby, fool -you.

No need to take out all the paraphernalia, a simple little cotton pastel dress will perfectly fill the job and for your crazy parties, the accessories will do the rest. Another advantage, and not least, the trend: it goes very well to all morphologies.

How to concoct a look of the 20s?

To compose a little simple look inspired by the 20s, without falling into the caricature of the total-look hair notched, fringe and makeup Charleston (which is very pretty but rather to book for theme nights), you cant inspire the following elements in small doses:

1.The thin straps or sleeveless retro dresses with a very loose fell, almost like a baby doll

2.A very small size, or no marked size at all

3.Of flowing dresses usually cotton for the day and more material satin  for the evening

4.Dresses with layers (see 1), or with a rather deep V neckline (see 2), and fringes of course

5.Pleated skirts (always in Art Deco optics, very constructed and geometric)

6.The sequins, the pearls, the embroidery, the lace

7.The tones powdery, white during the day and more vibrant colors for the evening: the black combo/gold works fine

Side accessories, the 20s are fond of hair jewelry, such as headbands and greenheads that come down low on the front but also long fringed or geometric earrings, feathers of all kinds and rows of pearls of mother-of-pearl.

In 2012, pearls in Toc will do business; you can recycle feathers from the Navajo trend and collect the little flower headbands of your bohemian-chic period. The twist is also to match his little dress with a pair of more current shoes such as wedges or neon shoes or glitter for example. And for the timeless, bet on T-strap.
