MODERN MOD
The Modern Mod has been trending on this season’s hottest runway shows including Chloé & Louis Vuitton, just to name two. Relating and translating runway looks and trends to our everyday style is all in the details. Print, pattern, silhouette and overall styling (including hair & makeup) are the main components to any look. Learning how to translate these key components allows one to pick and choose how one will wear the trend. We put together 5 Modern Mod looks to give you an idea of how easy it really is to translate trends to into everyday looks.
Proper Plaid
When it comes to the 60’s, hair and make up play a huge role in the overall styling of this era. This is important to keep in mind when you’re going for a modern mod inspired look. Pulling hair and makeup inspiration from 6o’s bombshell Bridget Bardot while using one of the decades most popular patterns, plaid. By adding all these components together we gave the current trend of flared jeans a 60’s vibe. It can be that simple; hair, makeup and the right print, and one can get the modern mod vibe while looking completely current.

Fun & Flirty
Accessories are also components to the overall look and vibe. This flirty look is given it’s mod vibe with of course the hair and makeup, but it’s the cap toe boot with the chunky heel that really says 60’s. It’s the 60’s details in the boots that really sets the tone to this look.

Chic & Sophisticated
This is a great example of how shapes, color and silhouettes play together to give this chic look a subtle sixties undertone. Color blocking, primary colors and geometric shapes are all part of the mod makeup. Getting the spirit of the modern mod can be as simple as choosing a handbag.
