Okay, so like, vintage is totally having a moment, you know? It used to look like, “grandma’s closet,” but now it’s straight-up fire. Retro vibes are everywhere! Do you remember when we spent so much time brooding over fast fashion? Boy, o boy that time is gone, thankfully! Wearing vintage is a way to stand out and also helps to express individuality rather than items that are produced in bulk. So yeah it’s in!
Why Vintage is actually sick?
- It’s eco-friendly, duh. Fast fashion is so last year and is becoming outdated while vintage is about adding value to old clothes and repurposing them which sounds like a nice idea to me! It allows us to see old clothing in a new light, which means wearing vintage clothes is not only about wearing old clothes but also giving new significance to them which is sustainable for the environment!
- You’ll be distinctive. Vintage fashion makes your personality twinkle also ensuring that you don’t end up wearing the same outfit everyone else is wearing and I think it’s cool!
- Nostalgia hits differently. Vintage also gives a nostalgic, comforting and emotional aspect to fashion. You can look chic and also reflect a positive vibe!
- Quality matters. Old school clothes were made to long last and not only for the “gram”. Like today modern fashion is only about social media hype and not really about longevity which on the other hand vintage fashion focuses on long-term wear as well as looks appealing!
Slay that vintage vibe!
- Start small. A denim jacket, white button-down, or high-waisted jeans are vintage staples. You can dress them up or down. These are statement pieces and have been there for a long period. It’s timeless and you can wear them on different occasions.
- Accessorize, girl. Vintage jewellery, sunglasses, and bags have the power to elevate your outfit. Imagine the mid-20s wearing a sleek black jumpsuit and a piece of vintage gold jewellery, classic sunglasses, and a timeless handbag adding a touch of history and art! So make sure to accessorise, it can add a spark to your outfit also can either make your outfit or break your outfit!
- Mix it up. Don’t be afraid to combine different eras. Like, pair a ’70s jumpsuit with a ’90s choker. It draws an inspirational Y2K-inspired vibe. It can accentuate the creativity and freedom of mixing up different vibes to achieve a twenty-first-century look!
- Own that look. Be confident! As we know confidence is a key to elevate any look. When you feel good about yourself that confidence will be evident to others. Just believe in yourself and there you go!
