We rewind to fashion decades years ago to the 70’s, when flare jeans and suede clothes were all the craze. This spring everyone will be recreating their favorite looks from the 70’s, so get out the old clothes your parents wore because they are finally back in style. The modern 70’s look is being seen everywhere from the platform to popular clothing stores like Forever 21. The best way to go about wearing these clothes is wearing one bold piece, like the suede skirt and then pairing it with a neutral top, like a black shirt. You can also glam up this look by wearing a black pair of heels or even a solid color scarf.

The hype about having long, flowing in the wind hair is over. This year everyone is trading their long locks of hair for a shoulder length haircut. Over the past year, celebrities have been up for the challenge of getting rid of their long hair and going for the bob, lob or pixie haircut. This trend is just now continuing into Susky. This continuous trend allows people to try something new and give life to their hair. The most popular look is the lob. The lob is a style where the hair is longer in the front and shorter in the back. Many have also decided to lighten up their new haircut with blonde or light caramel colored highlights for the spring.

Smokey Eyes, Glittery Lids

While looking to spice up your outdated outfits, the best way to find new styles is going right to the source- fashion week. From Milan to New York,  the big look is smokey eyes and glittery lids.

To finish the look, add a coat of mascara, and you have just accomplished the perfect runway, grunge look for your eyes.
