  • Opt for Statement Jewelry: Elevate your ensemble with statement-making accessories that nod to the past while embracing modern sophistication. Opt for chandelier earrings, crystal cuffs, and jeweled hair accessories that add sparkle and shine.
  • Go for Accessories with Vintage-Inspired Accents: Complete your accessories with a sleek clutch or embellished handbag for a modern touch with vintage-inspired glamour so you’ll be carrying your essentials in style.
  • Experiment with Retro-Inspired Hairstyles: Do a quick search to check out some vintage hairstyles like Hollywood waves, classic updos, and glam ponytails, then try out a few for a nod to old-school glamour (especially when you add in those jeweled hair accessories mentioned above).
  • Pair Classic Makeup Looks with Modern Techniques: Some classic makeup looks to consider are red lips, winged eyeliner, and soft, glowing skin. Pair some of those retro styles with modern techniques and products for a flawless finish. Along the way, be sure to play with textures and finishes to create a look that's both timeless and trendy, whether you're going for a sultry smoky eye or a dewy, natural glow.
