Retro Romance

Romance yourself: lush volume, ladylike silhouettes.

Fall in love with lush volume and the ladylike silhouettes we're seeing everywhere as of late, from the runway to the street-style scene. Billowy sleeves, swathed fabrics and sheer textures evoke a modern femininity and romanticism.

Flirty, mismatched blooms in contrasting colors are unexpectedly complementary in this ankle-skimming dress. Punctuate the florals with a happy-hued clutch and buttery pastel heels to finish this sweet ensemble.

Light and gauzy chiffon lends a delicate airiness to this bow-tied wrap top. Paired with pants in a similar shade, this look evokes a tender, dreamy elegance.

Ultra-puffed sleeves aren't the only star of this show. Dainty florals, a beautifully gathered bodice and an open back that ties at the nape of the neck all deserve to be in the spotlight.

This blouse-and-skirt set is impeccably draped and nipped in all the right places to create feminine lines and an elegant silhouette. The thigh-high slit adds a daring touch to an otherwise modest look.

Pintucked pleats add something extra to these supersized sleeves, and the fitted high neck is a nice offset to that kind of attention-grabbing volume. It's all about balance.
