20. Retro Futurist Mod & 60s Pop
What This Idea Means
Retro Futurist Mod reinterprets mid-1960s space-age fashion through a 21st-century streetwear lens. It uses sharp A-line geometry, bold primary color blocking, glossy patent textures, and clean mod necklines.
How to Make It
- Base Layer: A high-neck ribbed color-blocked mock neck top with horizontal stripes.
- Outer Layer: A glossy patent leather or vinyl A-line minicoat in bold red, electric blue, or stark white.
- Bottoms: A matching vinyl A-line mini skirt or high-waisted wide-leg tailored culottes.
- Footwear & Accessories: White patent leather go-go boots with a low block heel, or square-toe platform ankle boots, paired with round white acetate sunglasses and a geometric circular handheld bag.
Styling Tips & Variations
- Use sharp, geometric silhouettes (triangles, straight lines, circles) across both garments and accessories.
- Ground the high-shine vinyl by pairing it with soft, matte knitwear to balance the textures.
- Choose stark black-and-white color blocking for a sharper, graphic, mod-inspired visual look.
