What signature techniques does Shola Ajibade use for retro outfit styling?

For retro outfit styling, the signature approach leans into a few key techniques:

1. Mixing Y2K and 2000s prep (think Aeropostale, Hollister, Abercrombie, Vera Bradley) with modern pieces
2. Playing with low-rise silhouettes, mini skirts, and sporty shorts for that nostalgic teen-movie feel
3. Using “playground prep” vibes: casual layers, simple tees, cardigans, hoodies, off-the-shoulder tops
4. Soft grunge touches: messy-casual styling, lived-in denim, and vintage-inspired accessories

What era of retro style are you most drawn to—Y2K, 90s, or something earlier?
