1960s

The lesson: Recharge your look with bold prints.

The background: The Age of Aquarius was all about rebelling against the prim and pastel styles of the 50s. Psychedelic music, free love, and pop art went hand in hand with the graphic patterns and far-out colors of the time. These days, look to a geometric skirt or a bubble-print dress to punch up anything in your closet that feels a little too, well, conventional.

To buy:  Near right, French Connection cotton-and-polyester skirt, $70, frenchconnection.com. Zero + Maria Cornejo blouse. Donna Karan tights. Jonathan Kelsey booties. Winifred Grace earrings. Far right, Diane von Furstenberg wool dress, $325, 646-486-4800. Hue tights. Magrit heels. Kenneth Jay Lane earrings. Janna Conner cuff.
