Things You'll Need:
- Classic vintage or thrift store clothing
- Loose fitting, retro dresses and blouses
- Simple ballet flats
- Minimalistic accessories like small earrings or a clutch
-
Step 1
Achieve Michelle Williams' throwback style by reviewing your closet, and removing any items that are overly modern or trendy. Start shopping at local vintage or thrift stores and seek out pieces that are lady like, classic and one-of-a-kind.
-
Step 2
Choose dresses with retro shapes and patterns (such as 1940’s drop waists, floral patterns or delicate necklines). Michelle started turning heads while wearing perfectly cinched gowns that were reminiscent of old Hollywood, so seek out similar styles for formal events.
-
Step 3
Get casual attire by choosing soft blouses, button-up tops or loose-fitting shift dresses that can be thrown on at a moment’s notice. As a busy mother, Michelle is often seen wearing simple styles like retro blouses with casual shorts or feminine tops with cigarette jeans.
-
Step 4
Wear clothing that is not overly form-fitting or tight. Michelle favors relaxed shorts and blouses for casual days and saves sleek dresses for evenings out. Try choosing shapes that highlight a small waist, display décolletage or slim legs, but skip overly high hemlines or extremely tight fabrics.
-
Step 5
Accessorize your outfits with restraint. Michelle favors delicate or simplistic ballet flats instead of towering high heels, and keeps jewelry to a minimum by choosing small earrings and forgoing necklaces or bracelets all together. Carry your necessities in a small clutch or vintage purse, instead of a large labeled bag.
