Vivienne Westwood was one of the most iconic fashion names and her passing in December 2022 shocked the world. Her style has influenced fashion trends for years, and people have been rushing to show their love and respect for her in the most personal way—through fashion and activism. A year later, her influence can still be seen all over the fashion world. Here is how to pull off this trend in a subtle, wearable way.

Include Some Tartan

If you’re after the subtle look, then don’t opt for a huge statement tartan piece. This fun fabric can be hard to pull off in large quantities, but adding a splash of it to your outfit will give you easily achievable major style points. A punky mini-skirt is perfect, or some funky tartan shoes will give your look some fashionable edge.

Cinch Your Wasit

Whether it’s a simple waist belt, some ruching, or a full-on corset, the cinched waist above a flared skirt is a great way to pay homage to the icon that is Westwood. This style choice is also very flattering and easy to pull off so is the perfect way to work this trend.

Choose Statement Jewelry

Preferably something with pearl and gold accents, but any chunky necklace or big earrings will show off some Westwood-inspired style.
