A great wardrobe isn’t built in a season - a few timeless pieces that have lasted the distance through many a sartorial phase are the cornerstone of every well-dressed woman’s closet.
But knowing where to find that elusive classic piece, and more importantly, how to style it, is an art. Carrying off a retro look head-to-toe - even more so.
Luckily, our Instagram feeds have us covered.
Here’s 5 style stars who’ll give you endless inspiration for how to style retro wares.
