1920s: Jazz-Age Chic (But Make It Unpredictable)

Forget your grandma’s pearls. Long strands? Sure, but make them gunmetal grey, layered chaotically over a slinky black top. And headbands? Ditch the feathers—think metallic halos with sharp geometric designs or crystal spikes. Pair it with an unapologetically loud clutch, maybe something chainmail, just like this pearly purse - because subtle isn’t in your vocabulary.

1950s: Retro Glam, Unbuttoned

The 50s were about playing it safe. You? Not so much. Keep the cat-eye sunglasses but blow them up to oversized proportions or go with captivating patterns like rhinestones, you HAVE to check out these crazy MIU MIU ones. Gloves? Yes, but make them slick black leather with a tiny slit for drama. And that handbag? Swap the prim vibes for structured boldness—chunky hardware and a flash of color that says power player.

1960s: Mod but Dangerous

If the 60s gave us headbands and patent boots, you’re here to remix them. Pick a patent leather headband but go in an unexpected color—electric green, maybe? Boots are non-negotiable, but platforms take them into bad-girl territory. Add oversized hoop earrings with cut-out designs that scream “I’m the future.”

1970s: Boho Meets Boss

Wide-brim hats, chunky belts, and layered necklaces have always been staples—but for you? It’s about flipping the script. That hat needs a chain trim or a metallic logo, and those necklaces? Go for maximalist layering—vintage charms, modern chains, and one shockingly bold gemstone. The 70s free spirit meets your unapologetic energy.

1980s: Bigger, Bolder, Badder

The 80s weren’t shy, and neither are you. Chain belts are back—but drape them low and make them sparkle, check out this cool brand, Montana west's variety options. Earrings? Go asymmetric, oversized, and in your face. And that snakeskin clutch? Amp it up in metallic silver or an oil-slick iridescent finish. The bigger the drama, the better.

1990s: Cool Minimalism, Rebooted

Chokers aren’t just a 90s thing—they’re a forever thing when done right. Velvet? Sure, but layer it with a fine gold chain for texture. Combat boots? Yes, but go chunkier, shinier, and unapologetically stompy, these DOC'S vegan patent version of the iconic 1460's is a perfect example for that. Bonus Tip: A rugged pre-loved leather jacket is every fashionista's the cherry on top 🍒.
