From Sleepy Tees to Cool Shades and African Beaded Necklaces… here’s what you need to get that So Superfly Retro Vibe.
Retro has definitely been the mood this year. We already discussed this in our fashion forecast last December. Now with the much anticipated Superfly film just right around the corner we have more reasons to perfect our favorite 70’s vibe looks. Its not hard to piece together this look and you may have a few items already in your closet but here are the essential items you will need to get the perfect retro look. And this is how to spice up that casual look with just just a few essential items.
We know you all love a casual jeans & tee attire. You can get this retro “Pam Grier” inspired look put together by Abesi with the following: Sleepy Tee, Kidraq Glasses, African beaded necklaces, platform shoes and a cute clutch. See below.
Our favorite retro tee designed by Sleepy Brown: Available to order on www.organizednoize.net these adorable scoop styled tees are great for everyday fashion wear and going out. The stretchy pre-shrunk tees will accentuate your breast and waist and have you stealing all the spotlight this summer. They’re oh so ever classic and will forever be in style. They can easily be paired with your favorite distressed jeans and shades.
I love Jackie Onassis styled shades and anything over-sized or aviator. With this look we went with #Kidraq shades by Stylist and Designer Raquel Smith available through her line.
We chose a gold #clutch from our friends at Chanel. For jewelry we went with the African Zulu beaded necklaces that will be available on Abesishop.com. You may have already seen these on Janet Jackson. The Sleepy Tees come in Pink,Green, White, purple and various colors so you can easily mix and match your necklaces with your tee.
Top off your look with the #distressedjeans and platform styled shoes from any store & even a thrift market. I shop everywhere from Nordstrom to Urban Outfitters, Boutiques and resale shops like plato’s closet. For me fashion isn’t about designer this and that its more about creatively expressing your inner self with what you like. So hopefully these tips will help you attain that retro look you need for this season.
You can check out Sleepy Brown on the DaddyFatSaxx tour with Big Boi right now and on the soundtrack to Superfly with the song If You Want It featuring Scar. Superfly is executive produced by Future and will be available on all platforms on June 6th. Please go to Freebandz.com to keep up with all things #Superfly. -Abesi Manyando
