Trend Watch: Flapper Fashion

By CC Staff

You wouldn’t be alone if you thought that a modern, simplistic aesthetic was what was hot at the moment, however, you’d be dead wrong.

What is hot, you ask? Vintage. But not that 80′s crap you’ve been regurgitating for the last 5 years. Nope. Get ready for 1920′s vintage flair.

Needed:

• Beading and fringing

• Drop-waists

• Kate Moss for Topshop

• Short bobs

• Cloche hats

Could this be it? Are the days of babydoll dresses and tent-like silhouettes gone for good? Can we all finally find some dresses that will hug our curves and flatter our features? Is it finally acceptable to be dressed up and beautiful because – gasp! – you want to be?

Kate Moss and Christina Aguilera have almost single-handedly brought the trend back and retailers are finally catching on to the classiness this new look offers. And don’t be turned off by the formalness of it….like most trends, you only need to adapt parts of it. For example, get a fitted beaded bolero and pair it with jeans and some heels. Short hair? Dress it up with a cloche!

Don’t be afraid to be daring this fall! You’ll look goregous!
