Spring is traditionally a time of fresh starts and new things. But this year's fashion trends have borrowed from decades past. The result: timeless pieces that are tried and true. Frocks from "The Great Gatsby" era have a dramatic elegance, perfect for a special night out. Color-blocking, which was popularized in the '60s, will have you looking sharp and sleek. A little '60s flower power lends itself to a sweet, sophisticated aesthetic. And capture the fun and flashiness of '90s neons with garments accented by eye-popping hues. Spring forward this season with flashes from the past.--John-John Williams IV
