Art Deco style is a design representing modernism that turned into fashion. Depending on the occasion you’re going to, you may think of sleek and sophisticated look that symbolizes wealth and sophistication. Neutral shades like gray, cream, black, and brown with gold or silver trims can be great too. Simple style with a “streamlined” look and geometric forms can be great, though you may go wild to avant-garde silhouettes that can be perfect for Fashion Weeks or other fashion-related occasions that call for creative yet eccentric dress codes.

Resort to decorative patterns, embroidery, and embellishments.

You may bring Jazz age flair to any party with styles that boast ornate beading, architectural details, and flirty, flapper-esque cuts. In Art Deco fashion, the decorative ideas usually came from American Indian, Egyptian, and early classical sources as well as from nature which usually in two-tone neutral shades. Think of art deco patterns that look simple, symmetric, and plain with unvaried repetition of elements. Also, you may add some texture to your style with embroidered or embellished ensembles featuring human figures, animals, foliage, and sun rays, and such in conventionalized forms. Art Deco ornaments are often expensive materials, in addition to natural ones like jade, silver, ivory, obsidian, chrome, and rock crystal that you may incorporate into your outfits.

Incorporate colors to your art deco look.
