50s vs. 70s: It’s a Style Showdown!

One of our favorite nights on Dancing With The Stars is just hours away – the Most Memorable Year performance, where dances are inspired by standout times in participants’ lives. We’re feeling giddy with anticipation, and also a little nostalgic, so we polled our fashion team for their most memorable style years to hold us over. Here, Fashion Editor Kasey and Fashion Director Loredana face off. Which team are you on?

Kasey’s Pick: The 50s

I’m all about the flirty vibes that the 50s are known for, and this überfeminine fit-and-flare dress is giving me all the feels. Pleated detailing on the skirt shouts twirl me (can you say wedding season?), while a subtle metallic sheen and floral embroidery add a modern pop of personality.

Loredana’s Pick: The 70s

My fashion fantasies have come true with the return of the 70s-inspired jumpsuit. If I could relive any era, the Studio 54 disco scene would be it, and this black jumpsuit is my time machine. With a nod to style icon Bianca Jagger, its cinched waist and wrap top show off without exposing too much. Talk about perfection.
