Sporty Dresses

Opt for a high-impact color like green when choosing your dress. Keep the rest of your outfit neutral by styling it with a simple handbag.

Band Tees

Channel your inner rock star by styling your vintage tee with a colorful midi skirt and boots.

Neon Socks

Who said socks can't be cool? Style a neon pair with heels and white separates.

Chevron Sweaters

Stand out in a chevron sweater, and style it with a chain-link purse thrown around one shoulder.

Stylized Jumpsuits

Style a monochrome jumpsuit with a pair of suede boots and a statement purse. You can also opt for a strechy denim style for a fun way to mix things up.

Windbreakers

Take a cue from your dad by styling an oversize windbreaker with cool sneakers.

Logo Sweatshirts

Mix and match your patterns by styling a logo sweater with a plaid skirt and purse.

Flashy Colors

An easy way to pay homage to this decade is by opting for a flashy color. Be bold in a pink jumpsuit or hop on the ultra-violet bandwagon [5] to make this trend feel current.

Shiny Jackets

Give the PVC trend [6] a try by styling a shiny jacket with a miniskirt and glittery boots.

Side-Stripe Pants

Look chic wearing a cropped gold jacket with white boots and side-stripe pants.

Bomber Jackets

For a pop of color, style a midi skirt with a cherry red bomber jacket.
