It’s time to move summer’s sexy crop tops to the back of the closet and make room for autumn. And happily for the season ahead, trends are skewing toward looks that are both ’60s nostalgic and work appropriate. “The mini shift and Mary Jane flat is the look of the season,” says Associate Market Editor Anny Choi. “Basically, the Twiggy look is back for fall.” And what better time to celebrate it then on the model’s birthday?
Twiggy, née Lesley Hornby, was to modeling what the Beatles were to music. Both were products of youthful, experimental, Swinging London. “A heroine for her time” is how Vogue described this coltish, freckle-faced teenager, whose style defined an era that’s still inspiring designers like Michael Kors and Gucci’s Alessandro Michele today. And while there’s only one Twiggy, there are many ways to get her groovy, leggy look. Shop 23 of them here.
