Old garments that can create an unique and creative look!
It’s not from today that the vintage is in vogue. It had appered at the first time in the sixties and seventies, and today just turned the BOOM in fashion. It’s being a common habit around the world, and what’s interesting about vintage is that it carry an unique ID to the look of whose that adopt this style.
The fashion lovers, including many celebrities, had already adopted the vintage since a while. It’s not rare to see on red carpets many famous wearing jewels or antique garments of famous designers. The vintage stores are the best tool for those who wants to fallow this style. But it’s necessary to be pacient to find precious garments and upgrade the look.
The first step is choose a period which you identify yourself. The vintage recovers styles or garments of twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, sixties and lately the seventies and eighties have been including in this count.
In twenties, for example, the dresses had a low waist, with a lenght down the knees, the Chanel pearls, and everything that make reference to the designer, among another elements. Of the forties we can take the deep necklines and the sensuality and glam of the hollywood muses. In the fifties, the basque waist, cigarette pants and godé skirts. For the sixties, we have the tight little dresses and the A silhouette, that are very outstanding elements. From the seventies, long skirts, floral prints and all that make reference to the hippie or ethno style. The eighties brings back a variety of styles, since the New Wave, with the neon tones, until the punk and another rock slopes. It’s not difficult to find which element to choose, nothing that with a little search can’t be resolved.
The classic clothes of determinated periods many times doesn’t fits in any occasion. With much care, you can use a vintage dress in some elegant party, for example. But many of these classical articles are most appropriate to compose more casual looks, that can be wore daily. The important is to know how to match the vintage garment with the rest of the outfit.

A tip for those who wants to fallow to vintage style, but still don’t have practice to compose their own productions is choose a modern look and mix a garment or accessorie vintage. Its able to let the visual full of personality.
For those who are just starting, just accessories are the best choice. Like they usually detach, the ideal is wear basic clothes, turning the vintage accesories the focus of the outfit. What do you say about match a little black dress with a belt, handbag, necklaces and a bawdy pair of shoes?
The tailoring garments are also very searched in vintage stores. Because they are old garments have the cutout and the edged just perfect. Vests, skirts, V waist pants, among others, can be the key garments of the look.
The idea is bring the vintage to the present, detaching details of some period of the past. Its necessary to take care to don’t bring the whole decade, taking the risk of a exaggerated visual. What let the vintage interesting it’s exactly the fact of mix what it’s current with what is antique, developing a style that shows identity and personality of the one who is dressed.
