1920s style<\/strong> is hot for summer 2013.<\/p>\n

Period films like The Great Gatsby<\/em> caused a resurgence in the ’20s flapper look, but the shimmering sequins on slinky, high-cut dresses aren’t practical for everyday wear in the modern world. And while Daisy Buchanan is quite the fashion catch, her meticulously matched looks are better for the pages of Vogue<\/em> than for walking the streets of a town near you.<\/p>\n

What the 1920s style<\/a> trend failed to inspire is how to wear ’20s style in a casual way. There’s no need to dress for the club in strands of pearls and dresses of fringe to channel the roaring 1920s. Don’t worry about learning the Charleston, putting on a flapper lip or kicking up your legs with a whiskey sour in your hand.<\/p>\n

Dressing in ’20s clothing<\/a> can be conservatively chic and ready-to-wear for the most sophisticated of business meetings or mundane as dropping by the grocery store for a gallon of soy milk.<\/p>\n

Great Lake Outfitters Vintage<\/a> and I teamed up to show how any woman can wear ’20s style in a dropwaist knit dress from the 1960s. No Charleston needed!<\/p>\n

Founder Kelly scours Ohio for the garments that every girl can go ga-ga over — without having to save for that “special” one-off occassion.<\/p>\n
