Great Gatsby style is all about decadence, grandeur, and opulence. Inspired by the roaring 1920′s, this retro fashion statement is making a glorious comeback right now, including everything from beaded, drop waist dresses to art deco jewelry and embellished clutches.
Without looking like you’re wearing a costume, you can easily channel your inner starlet with elegant and timeless pieces that evoke the essence of this over-the-top era.
Art Deco “style is often characterized by rich colors, bold geometric shapes, and lavish ornamentation.” [Source: Wikipedia] Featuring oversize, architecturally-sculpted shapes and glistening, vivid-colored gemstones, art deco style jewelry is a statement in and of itself.
When it comes to apparel, the phrase ‘more is more’ comes to mind. From sumptuous fabrics (like silk and satin), to elaborate embellishments (including beading, fringe, and feathers), Great Gatsby style fashion is a force to be reckoned with.
Drop-waist dresses in loosely-fitting silhouettes elegantly drape a woman’s curves, offering just a hint of sex appeal, without being inappropriate.
Add some gilded shoes and accessories to amp up the glamour of the outfit.
