When cultural shifts occur, whether social, economic, or environmental, they re reflected in the dominant trends on runways and in street style. And sustainability is the hot topic on everyone s minds right now—creating a rapidly growing appetite for vintage, and a hunger for vintage-inspired pieces from new collections, too.

This striking photo from this season’s edition of Phil Oh s street style encyclopedia exemplifies this offbeat return to vintage colors like chartreuse, ochre and brown can easily feel dated (digging up the ’70s bathroom sink, anyone?) but here they felt fresh, grounded, and earthy.
