Secrets of the 40’s Trend

Celebrities like Gwen Stephanie and Christina Aguilera, and even Dita Von Teese, have been channeling the 40's sirens of old for years, both in terms of their perfectly coiffed hair and their form fitting yet demure outfits. The fashion world seems to have caught onto the trend, and it's become trendy to dress in post war chic. Here's how you can do just that. Look for little tweed jackets, either collared or collarless, that are form fitting, and team them up with slick pencil skirts. If you can belt them, all the better – this look is all about showing off that hourglass figure! When it comes to shoes and hosiery, remember to go girly. Nothing beats old fashioned stockings with a rear seam, teamed up with round toed stilettos for a to uch of forties starlet glamour. Subtle bow details on accessories are another forties style winner, and remember that as long as you keep it demure and feminine, you should be right on trend.
