The vintage aesthetic is an aesthetic that seems to always come back! Many people enjoy those vintage-inspired clothes and want to dress in those fashions every day. Here are 10 small ways you too can incorporate a vintage style into your everyday look!
Shop at Your Local Thrift Shop
The best place to start dressing your vintage best is your local thrift shop! People give away vintage-inspired looks all the time, meaning that their old clothes can become your new treasure. Going to the thrift shop is certainly the best way to find the vintage looking clothes of your dreams!
Shop at Vintage-Inspired Online Stores
If you prefer online shopping, there are quite a few vintage-inspired online stores! These stores usually have a lot of size ranges, which might not be as common in real vintage clothing. The more sizes mean the more opportunity for you to buy the vintage-inspired outfit you are truly meant to wear.
Wear Bright Colors and Patterns
Bright colors and patterns are a way to stand out in your new vintage-inspired outfit! Patterns like floral or polka dot are the essentials to start your vintage wardrobe. Bright colors give you a boost of confidence and can show others you came dressed to impress.
Always Have a Plain White Blouse
A white blouse is extremely fashionable but also can take any vintage style to the next level! You can layer sweaters in fun prints over white blouses and even wear a jazzy printed skirt. The sky’s the limit when you have a white blouse on hand.
Own High-Waisted Shorts or Pants
High-waisted shorts or pants are the ultimate fashion staple for vintage style. One of the best parts about these pants is that they look good on anyone! Adding a vintage flair and looking good is a recipe for feeling good!
Pick a Dramatic Vintage Article of Clothing to Wear
Want to razzle dazzle all that see your outfit? Then wear a fun top with a bold pattern that is a part of the vintage aesthetic. The rest of your outfit can be basic modern pieces, but that one pop of vintage will really stand out and show you tried!
Use a Vintage Suit for Multiple Outfits
A vintage suit can be used for many different outfits. You can separate the blazer from the pants or skirt and wear that with one outfit. Then you can wear the skirt or pants with another outfit. So many options, so little time!
Wear Vintage Jewelry
The easiest way to get vintage into your style is with jewelry! You can go to a thrift shop or an antique mart and buy actual vintage jewelry or go to stores that have vintage-looking jewelry. Don’t worry, no one will ask you if it is old or not (and if they do, they are asking for too much information).
