vintage fashion
he Great Gatsby,” in all its big- screen flair, has brought 1920s fashion back to the spotlight. From simple and elegant, to bold and flashy, it’s not as difficult as you might think to res- surect this style. Because finding true vintage items is rare (and expensive) look for 1980s dresses with dropped waists, or anything covered in sparkly bits. Grab a ton of jewelry, a hat, throw on some t-strap shoes and wave up that hair. For men, think prep- py, classy, mix patterns and always have a bow tie and wingtip shoes at the ready. Maybe we’re suck- ers for drama, but the extravagance and romance of the Roaring Twenties was right up our alley. “ T
