This second, we’re groovin’ on all things art deco.
This sleek style was h-o-t during the first half of the 20th century and is having a major resurgence.
It’s part modern, part glamour and gives every outfit a bit of polish.
It’s eclectic but elegant—and easier to wear than you’d imagine!
The sweetheart neckline and unique button detail on this dress make it perfect for summer. And a colorful zig-zag stripe pattern makes it fun for dinners out.

Mixing straight lines and curvy shapes? That’s downright Deco. The bright teal is totally now, while the seams create a sunburst pattern typical of the 1920s. Stash that gloss, girl.

Take your summer wardrobe back in time with a pair of shiny shorts. Their elastic waist is comfy, but their scalloped hem will put some pizzazz into any outfit. Pair with loafers or some lace-up booties to seal the deal.
