Photos: The Social Shopper: Modern '70's Style October 12

Maybe it’s the back-to-school nip in the air. Maybe it’s the anticipation around the remake of the seventies cult classic Carrie that is hitting theaters next week. Or maybe it’s just that we have had our favorite Velvet Underground songs on rotation for far too long. Whatever the reason, we have been ruminating on the pleasures of the past. And it’s not just us: Fashion has been waxing more than a little bit nostalgic recently. Take, for example, this image of María Kolosova on Collage Vintage—the plaid pants harken from another era, but the silk blouse gives the look a modern polish. It’s the kind of picture that can inspire a quick rifle through one’s closet to rediscover the mod jumpers, platform shoes, and flared denim that once made up your (or your mother’s) wardrobe. Not a saver? Never fear: Here are some of the best modern takes on our favorite throwbacks—all perfect for a fall weekend.
