Our favourite glam ‘60s looks— from 3-D floral appliqués to beehive bouffants—are back this spring, and we’ve rounded up four ways to get the mod look at each level of expertise (punch-buggies not included).
Mod fashion trend lesson: Beginner
The dress
Spring 2013 runway trend inspiration: A 3-D effect at Missoni; a mesh of metallic fuchsia and neon at Christian Dior.
How to wear it: The ethereal and silhouette-forgiving flow of the baby-doll dress carries that distinct air of the freewheeling ‘60s. Add a jeweled statement choker as a playful accent.
Where to wear it: A classic trench and coloured tights can easily keep this look office appropriate and wearable during the tail end of winter. Add bow-embellished pumps for a night out, and strappy espadrilles for a night outside.

The shades
Spring 2013 runway trend inspiration: The Jean Shrimpton-in-shades look at Moschino; High-tech Google specs at Diane von Furstenberg.
How to wear it: Wide-rimmed and oversized or wraparound and sleek, your vintage-inspired spring shades look best with a fun wrap dress and a bright red pout for a modern twist.
Where to wear it: Sunny conditions or not, dark, oversized shades add (and conceal) so much. Best worn en route to, during and post your front row debut—or any night out.
‘60s throwback: Low— blame it on the sunlight or strobe lights for wearing your sunglasses at night.
