Retro has become a word synonymous for luxe and decadence. It’s a style category that can be seen everywhere from TV and movies to home decor and of course in Fashion.
Retro Fashion
With designers such as Chloe, Etro, and Gucci all channeling vintage chic vibes in their collections, it’s safe to say the retro era as a fashion staple is here to stay. Incorporating vintage pieces into your wardrobe doesn’t mean running out to your local costume store in search of platform shoes and polyester jumpsuits. Consider taking a new approach to a classic style theme with a Bohemian twist. This sophisticated, yet playful trend will help you dominate your autumn wardrobe. Look for pieces that feature rich colors, intricate patterns, and faux fur add ons.

Retro Lifestyle
Creating a vintage lifestyle in the 21st century may be challenging. In a world driven by technology, hustle, and bustle, and social media it may be hard to disconnect from it all. If you’re desperately seeking a lifestyle change try embracing vinyl. Listen to music how it was intended before mumble rap was invented! Watch a classic film at a local arthouse or go to a drive in. See a live band, or talk to a friend over coffee. But actually talk to one another, instead of scrolling through your social media feeds. If all else fails, try incorporating some of the retro chic pieces listed to luxe up your life in the meantime!
