Wear lots of geometric patterns and shapes. One of the foundations of Twiggy's mod look was patterns with sharp angles and shapes and lots of stripes, circles, polka dots, and triangles. Shy away from softer patterns because they do not have the same "mod" feel as the sharper patterns have.

Wear long, dangling earrings! Extremely long, heavy, dangling earrings were one of Twiggy's trademarks. These dangling earrings usually were in the shape of balls, and often on the massive side (think half the size of a softball). These earrings can often come in any color, but Twiggy usually wore them in a sparkling, silver color.
