Fall Trend: Swinging Sixties. Can You Dig It?

(Via Elle)

The Sixties were a breakout decade for fashion.  I barely remember most of it, but Twiggy was my role model for all things Mod Squad and beyond into the seventies.  So I was excited to see this trend of mini skirts, knee high boots, and flower power.  Grounded in clean lines, geometric shapes, bold colors and minimalism, this is one groovy trend.

Here: 12 Looks To Go Go

Ted Baker Swing Dress

What fun! Ponte knit adds substance to the bow-bedecked sheer overlay on this chic little dress.

Nordstrom

Studio Pollini
Contrast Booties
Glam and glossy, these boots are made for walking with any swing dress. Sure to be comfy with the low stacked heel and elastic inserts.
Shop Bop

The perfect length and look for Lisa's mod and marvelous design aesthetic.

Barney's New York

Lisa Perry Girls
For the littlest members of the mod squad. Available in sizes 2 - 10.

Eclipse Dress With Deep V-Back
Isn't this the perfect way to wear white after Labor Day? Love how it is styled with the gladiator boots.

There wasn't a brand more mod that Courreges. When I was young, I dreamed about owning one of their designs. These cuffs are really super fabulous.
AHALife

Tory Burch Convertible Cape Jacket
A jacket that can be worn with or without the cape. It’s a ladylike take on a classic, with a nod to swinging Sixties chic, Pre-order it in Navy at Nordstrom's or in Grey from Tory Burch.

Orla Kiely
Mod to the nth degree and coolly chic! Sheepskin leather and ever so on trend for Fall.
Muse Ten
