The looks and fashions seen on the streets this spring and summer may remind you of something; in fact, many of the hottest ensembles this season are borrowed from another era altogether. Check out and consider yourself in the following five fashion must-haves for your closet:

1. Shag Bags

Accessories matter this season so start your wardrobe out with the very-versatile shag bag. Choose cotton shag knit bags in a variety of colors and styles; variations with plastic or faux Bakelite handles have the most retro vibe.

2. Cotton Tunics

Buy crisp cotton tunics for warm weather to pair with shorts, jeans, skirts, or if long-enough, to wear as a simple shift dress this summer. Cotton is going to keep you cool, so even long-sleeved tunics will get worn all season long. You may find that it is the one garment you reach for to wear again and again.

3. Wrap-Around Skirts and Sarongs

Sarongs and wrap-around skirts are pragmatic and practical for vacation, but they are also one of this season's most popular trends. These lighter-than-air garments are comfortable, a bit Bohemian, and easy to pair with a variety of pieces to create fresh looks. Invest in an organic cotton or bamboo sarong and enjoy the luxurious feel of the fabric all summer long.

4. Jumpsuits and Rompers

Channel the 70s with a jumpsuit or romper this season; these have made a huge comeback and at least one belongs in your closet. Look for materials with a bit of give, or stretch, as you may need it for the perfect fit, but when a jumpsuit fits perfectly, it is fantastically flattering. Go all the way with the retro vibe and pair with chunky heeled sandals, lots of bangles, and hair jewelry.

5. Classic Hats

Hats don't seem to ever really go out of style, though some may be more contemporary than others. This season, pull out your lightweight wool and felt hats, fedoras, and newsboy caps, to pair with your rompers and sundresses. Check out the wide-selection of straw hats, typically priced inexpensively, and add a few to your collection.

Check online for these items updated for the current style season, or shop with vintage vendors to find pieces at online boutiques or consignment stores.
