The best trends of our time are often inspired from the past. The 20s menswear look, 70s hippie duds, and 90s grunge have all been recycled in our present era. But, this season, mod looks from the 1960s are getting a make-over! Spotted in February’s issue of Teen Vogue, Anna Sophia Robb was the first young woman to rock the black and white color-blocking trend. Though the looks are fresh and trendy, many college students are still leery about incorporating the stunning combination of black and bold stripes into their spring wardrobes. However, the crisp and clean patterns of this trend are the latest way to put the “mod” back in “modern.”
Moto jackets aren’t as bulky as other types of outerwear, so they are ideal for chilly mornings and evenings. At the same time, they are sure to dress up any plain ensemble, and look chic when worn with bold jewelry. Balance the structured look with a chunky boot, while a long, slim boot appeals to a more sleek vibe.
