    How do I look retro in a school uniform?
    Community Answer
    Do retro makeup and hairstyles. This varies by what decade you’re trying to imitate. but you can’t go wrong with a bright red lipstick and curled hair. If you get to chose your own shoes, you can customize those too. Add vintage accessories!

  • Question
    Can I wear a rip jeans and a white t shirt for a retro look?
    Melanie Sepuleveda
    Community Answer
    Yes, it would work. Although, depending on what type of retro you’re going for, you might want to add some accessories. For example, if you’re going for an 80s look, you might want to add a leather jacket to go for a rocker-type look.
