Retro Revamp: The Return of Disco Chic

Modern interpretations allow for a subtle homage without looking costumey. Embrace the free-loving energy of the time while celebrating the elevated style of the bygone era of boogie.

Big, bold, and gold was the name of the game in the days of disco, and something so simple as this chainlink Santos De Cartier bracelet fits the bill perfectly. That said, it’s subdued enough that it could pass just as well when you’re not feeling those vintage vibes.
Prada Chelsea Boots

Though the Chelsea boot dates back to the 1800s, it saw a surprising return to favour in the disco era — in part due to a surprising pop culture plot twist. Believe it or not, white Chelsea boots were part of the original Stormtrooper uniform in the Star Wars trilogy.

In essence a Chuck Taylor silhouette, which was a style that’s maintained varying degrees of popularity since the beginning of the 20th century, combining it with the quintessentially ’70s corduroy is an interesting way to infuse the era into a modern reinterpretation. GANT claims more ’80s tennis as the inspiration, but we can’t help but feel the faint whispers of disco.
