83 Great Gatsby-Inspired Aesthetics

From Elegant 1920s Editorials to Nostalgic Hazy Captures

— November 21, 2012 — Fashion
With New Year's Eve around the corner glam up any outfit for a night on the town with this Great Gatsby-inspired aesthetics.

The novel The Great Gatsby is all about elegance and glitz. A character like Daisy is a fashion-forward diva whose outfits are gorgeous and replicable. One can take literal inspiration from 1920s editorials, vintage lookbooks and retro photo shoots. One may also look to the present and modern day interpretations of Daisy and the leading lady's fashions on runways and in magazines.

It is hard to picture New Year's Eve without the abundance of sequins, glitter and glamor, all of which are easily associated with Gatsby. Daisy, as well as Gatsby's lavish parties, is a reminder of 1920s attractiveness in fashion and celebration.

When planning your ensemble for New Year's or the next fabulous party look for Great Gatsby inspiration everywhere.
