Don’t we just love vintage clothing and styles? They remind us of the bygone era, the drama, and legendary fashion trends of the time.
Throughout history, fashion designers have turned to retro styles for inspiration. For instance, many of our summer dresses are inspired by flared retro dresses of the 50s.
Fashion has also been evolving through the decades. Earlier, it was larger gowns, bonnets, and hats. By the end of the 1950s, simpler silhouettes were making news.
Freedom in fashion became significant by the 1960s with more elegant yet confident looks for the ladies.
Adding vintage elements in modern fashion makes you look royal and gives a romantic vibe to your dresses. Peter pan collars on vintage tops, lace sleeves, flared hemlines, puffed sleeves are all elements that make vintage clothing never “out of fashion.”
Now that the fall season is coming up and the world is returning ‘outside,’ it is time to up your fashion game with some classic retroelements in your wardrobe.
These Five Vintage Styles Will Never Go Out of Fashion-
The Flared Jeans
Don’t get demotivated with those early 2000s looks.
Instead of going for the colourful ones, get true vintage flared jeans from the 70s. The silhouettes of the jeans make your legs look super long and sexy!
Top it off with jackets, suede boots, or crop tops. Keep the look simple and minimal. These will be your go-to jeans for a movie night, house party, or even a casual date with winter approaching soon.
The Charm of The Statement Sleeves
Play it cool and romantic with those statement sleeves. Try smocked sleeves, bat sleeves, super puffed sleeves, or even bishop sleeves with retro tops.
Inspired by Queen Victoria, a number of puffed sleeves have been dominating the fashion industry for years. Even today, the runways and street styles are bombarded with eclectic takes on these over-the-top sleeves on vintage style tops.
They are easy to style and make you look like you have put a lot of effort into dressing up. Try off-shoulder for a special occasion and put on some dainty jewellery. Soft open waves and nice lipstick will finish the look!
The 60s Swinging Coat
Who said you couldn’t style up your jackets and coats?
With the winter approaching, accentuate your regular outfit with a classic 60s swinging coat. Keep the colour warm and if you are feeling extra adventurous, try a number with some prints.
Trust us; this coat will be your new favourite, thanks to its incredibly versatile structure. You can style it with jeans, trousers, skirts, dresses and so on.
You can even keep one for your office. Just keep the rest of the outfit neutral. Some classic shirts and trousers with this coat will seal the look!
Choose Lacey for A Modern Vintage Look
Lace is a dominating fashion element for anything vintage. They are super stylish and very versatile. Even today, from bridal wear to corporate shirts, lace detailing is given a lot of importance.
Choose a chic retro top with lacey detailing. It can be on the sleeves, hemlines, collars, etc.
A slight upgrade like this will make a lot of difference. You can dress these retro tops in jeans and simple leather jackets.
For the summers, switch the jeans with shorts or skirts, and you are good to go.
Get A Knitted Dress
What do you prefer, comfort or style? Warmth or chills?
What if there is no need to decide and you can have both?
Knitted dresses are the perfect combination of style and comfort. The texture is richer and thicker than standard dresses, often comes with a high neckline.
It is extremely fashion-forward with so many colours and asymmetrical hemlines. They make for a perfect date night outfit.
Wear a knitted dress with knee-high leather boots and carry a vintage bag. Keep your makeup light with a bold dash of colour on the lips (preferably one that matches the dress).
