It's official: the Jazz Age era of elegant dressing is back. It's all over the pre-Fall 2012 runways, and magazines and retailers are going gaga over it. And no where else in the world (except Paris) can one find true inspiration for 1920s fashion than in glorious New York City. A simple stroll down the avenues of this fashion capital can influence and inform your wardrobe like nowhere else.
Couture brands like Gucci, Marc Jacobs and Chanel have all integrated the elegance and geometric emphasis of art deco structures like the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building into their latest collections.
Adding a bit of Great Gatsby to your wardrobe can be easy and fun with a few key separates. Take a look:
This mother of pearl knob ring is constructed with brass and adds art deco flair to a well-manicured hand.
For a very bad hair day, enter the cloche hat. This number gives off a slightly seductive twenties look, as it falls just above the eye. Great for avoiding eye contact if you're just not in the mood to deal. And the cloche needn't break the bank, this one is from Target.
