Styling Moodboard

For styling we decided on casual outfits both featuring references to modern day trends and elements of Northern Soul style. For example for female styling I included images of wide leg jeans to reference the wide leg Oxford trousers worn as part of the Northern Soul look. During the popularity of the scene it was men that wore the wide leg trousers, but I used this reference for female styling as they are quite a popular trend in modern day fashion. I also included wide leg culottes for more of a modern take on the flowy, full length skirts that women in the Northern Soul scene wore. To keep the look casual I included an oversized plain grey sweatshirt and white Nike Air Force 1s to fit in with today's trends of oversized items and sportswear. For male styling I included vintage Levi's jeans as they are very popular in todays fashion especially when found from a vintage store. These also link to the early origins of Northern Soul style that included elements of Mod style as Mods wore shrink to fit Levi's jeans. I also included an image of a black denim jacket that will feature pin badges for a more modern take on the Northern Soul trend of sewing on patches to jackets. For accessories I included a vintage style pair of clear sunglasses and for shoes a pair of black boots to create a more modern feel on the popular Northern Soul Solatio shoes.
