The 50’s and 60’s brought about a new-found obsession with the female silhouette, leading to fashion trends that we now consider to be ‘vintage’. From structured skirts to slip dresses and pearls, the fashion world began to burst with unique, whimsical details and classic prints that still live on in today’s contemporary society.

When one thinks of ‘vintage style’, the mind wanders towards the idea of ‘old’, thrift garments that often seem very costume-like. However, the term stands for so much more! Vintage ensembles represent the classics; the quality fashion items that have stood the test of time. These items are the blueprint from which today’s modern fashion society has grown and transformed. Taking this into consideration, there’s no wondering why vintage style has been given a reboot and has resurged the past few years.

You don’t have to merely own old, treasured pieces that are often worth quite the penny. You can give your wardrobe some vintage flair by just incorporating certain cuts and accessories into your daily ensembles. Pearls are great, frills and lace add that ultra-feminine touch, and investing in cute flared dresses and pantyhose is so simple.
