Off the Rack: Forever 21 Spring Highlights

Great fashion finds at Forever 21 this spring
Forever 21 is looking back to two decades for fashion inspo for spring 2016: The 70s and the 90s. From the former, I spotted all the usual bohemian suspects, like peasant tops, faux suede jackets, mini skirts and wide leg jumpsuits. From the latter, it was all sweatshirts, distressed denim and oversized silhouttes on things like plaid shirts and boxy crop tops. But both trends had a modern twist - the 90s throwbacks were updated to please Kendall Jenner fans and those with #squadgoal aspirations. And the retro fashions had a modern romance - or edge - that made them feel wearable today. If you're over 21 (hypothetically speaking), I'd focus on the denim (no really it's great), outerwear (be discerning, but this denim jacket and this faux suede jacket look more expensive than they really are), and accessories (like these strappy gray sandals), plus basics (I love their tees and longline camis).
