denim evening dress EW36097 Blue this versatile piece pairs beautifully with sneakers or sandals Boho Chic Stagecoach Denim Maxi

A well-fitted suit, a crisp patterned shirt, and a pair of brogues can capture the spirit of the 20s while remaining thoroughly modern

In the 1920s and 1930s, as travel to tropical and seaside destinations became more accessible, the need for comfortable yet stylish clothing arose

Bonus points if you pick a letterman-style jacket for a throwback '80s moment If you want to match one to a few different dresses in your wardrobe, go with a neutral color like white or beige to get maximum wear out of your jacket

Choose the outfit for whoever is hardest to dress, usually Mom, and pull everyone else from the same family of tones
