Kelly's Top 5 Tips for incorporating
vintage into a modern look:

1. Pair a favoured vintage item with neutral separates or accessories. This adds vintage flavour and depth to an outfit, without going the whole shebang. It also works a treat for toning down way-out pieces.

2. Reference earlier eras in line with current fashion trends. For example, forgo current bold shoulder styles and Peter Pan-collared frocks in favour of real-deal forties items. In good condition, these look infinitely better than the chainstore rip-offs.

3. 'Undo' items from more prim, less-permissive eras with loose and easy tresses or accessories, and vice versa by dressing up more casual styles for modern glam.

4. Vintage shoes are the hardest accessories to make appear current. Only wear them if you have complete confidence rocking a vintage vibe.

5. It's very modern to clash masculine and feminine, hard and soft – don't wear a look head to toe, but rather mix up your references and highlight a mood with what you're wearing.

Whatever you do, own it!
