Embrace individuality with a dress that's distinctly Swinging 60s.

Nico's striped jacket style when she joined The Velvet Underground

#Nico #Anita

The slim, menswear-inspired striped designs of the 2000s can bring you closer to the styles of Nico from The Velvet Underground, or actress Anita Pallenberg, who was the girlfriend of both Brian Jones and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones.

Nico and Anita Pallenberg, by adopting a mannish style, actually brought out their own feminine charm.

It would also work well with a sophisticated, urban glam rock style, perhaps by adding lots of accessories and scarves.
