Dress like a Baroque star: 5 royally chic pieces

Step aside, ‘60s pencil skirts and ‘20s Deco dresses. The fall runways have a new retro queen in town: Baroque fashion. Posh prints, gilded accents and plush velvet—we’re taking orders from 17th century monarchs’ styling teams. And while these decadent trends look like you need a royal budget to rock ‘em, you won’t go broke with these Baroque buys—promise!

Your lip gloss needs a chic carriage, dontcha think? Opt for one with shimmering black satin encrusted with glimmering golden beads.

Wallpaper patterns on jeans always have us uneasy, unless they look like they were ripped from a king’s castle. In which case, keep calm and Baroque on.

You might not see Versailles’ shimmery chandeliers in your school’s caf (um, how awesome would that be?!). But dangling these dazzlers from your lobes just might be the next best thing.
