Skirts and dresses, blouses and shirts are getting buttoned up! There’s a big focus on having lots of small, often fabric covered, buttons. This will be seen on both front and back parts of garments. One thing that’s once again is a big hit is the classic pencil skirt, but buttoned all the way up and/or all the way down! This means small tiny buttons, put closely together, and all of these buttons will of course make the garment adaptable if you feel like showing a bit of your legs or not (buttoning up or down…)

I don’t know if you’ve noticed the super large belts (almost like a corset but with no support for the bust, only for the waist) The belts are often put on top of blouses, dresses and tunique-like garments, in order to put focus on the waist. Some of these “corset-belts” have buckles in metal, or laces, but I recently saw one with these small types of buttons instead.

And what I’m trying to say is that the style of the belt is soon being transferred to the skirts, especially the pencils skirts! I try not to forget to look on the back of clothes, sometimes the back is far more beautiful than the front, thanks to these kinds of details. It’s very elegant to have a longer dress, or skirt (in a tailored style) with small small buttons going vertically all the way up to the neck!

Back to the pencil skirt, buttons or not, imagine it with a thin, sheer, “fluffy” blouse hanging out a bit but tucked inside of the skirt. Big generous sleeves, and maybe an oversized collar, worn with this little skirt, so tight and minimalistic.

Bring on the seduction as a retro pin-up.  Sometimes when looking for modern inspiration, one looks back to the past.  The pinup girls of old managed to look very alluring by wearing more clothes than most women today.  You can roll out a classy and elegant look for yourself and garner favorable attention from both men and women with a little pinup inspiration.  Stars like Katy Perry know this and have been capitalizing on the look.

There was a time where the only place you could find retro lingerie was your grandmother’s closet or perhaps a garage sale.  To day with the resurgence of popularity in modern pinup, you can find great retro pinup outfits on Ebay, in department stores, and even some of modern lingerie stores.  Many celebrities such as Dita Von Teese have brought back the pinup look.

In order to perfect the retro pinup look, you must make the effort to go to several shops for outfits which will suit you. You can buy new, off-the-rack items designed after retro patterns.  If you want to feel more nostalgic, you can buy pre-owned items from private sellers and online sites such as eBay. You will be surprised at the number of people selling authentic retro items. A lot of these items are still in great condition. You may be lucky enough to get designer clothes for half the original price. If you have the money to spare, you can bid for items at auction houses. They put up retro pieces for bidding. Who knows, you might even get a retro dress worn previously by a Hollywood actresses such as Marilyn Monroe and Ava Gardner.

The best of retro pinup outfits are based on the actual clothing worn by the pinup girls.  Be sure to check old pictures such as the famous Gibson girl, and of course the pin-ups of World War Two.  If you’re looking for more modern flair, take a look at Dita Von Teese’s outfits, who looks amazing as she highlights for unbelievable 22 inch waist.
