“Out” in Style

If you think things of the past can’t make a big comeback, think again! Splashy, cool sixties stuff is in again. That means, short, sexy skirts, graphic-print knits and textured tights. Whether you like your going-out stuff fitted or loose and swingy, just make sure, your skirt is a mini. And the modern way to do mod is to wear one graphic black-and-white print piece with black on everything else. Keep in mind, mini skirts look best with knee-high boots.

The trick to doing bold prints all over: keep them in the same color family. Still not sold? Wear a bold dress with black tights. If your outfit is very loud, take note on monochromatic velvet flats. The LCJ (little cropped jacket) is big this season. Wear yours from a sheath dress to jeans. On the other hand, metallic knits are glitzy and comfortable. Show off your legs in sexy tights.

A cool girl classic: velvet and lace. A menswear-y suit looks extra special in velvet over a frilly top. What’s new about night-out coats this time? They’re short, and yup, you can wear them with your longer stuff, too. But pair it alone with white tights and you’re ready to go out in style.
