RETRO – VINTAGE STYLE

The saying, 'what goes around comes around', is as true as it can ever be when it comes to fashion! Tiered or layered dresses and skirts, one-shoulders, polka dots, empire waists and jumpsuits are some of the styles that were prominent 50 years ago but have made their way into current style trends.

Why is vintage so popular now?

Many tv shows have appeared on our screens that are based in yester-year, Mad Men is the popular example. Plus a few celebrities have named Vintage as their catwalk dress; a sneaky way of ensuring no other celebrity will wear the same dress.

In recent years the style of vintage have developed and become distinctive style.

Bermuda Shorts: They’re ultra chic, fam-friendly, and flattering.

Black and White: Appropriate to wear year-round, easy to pull off at every budget, and sleek enough to work at the office or on date night, this trend is the definition of wearable.

Sunglasses: They hit the runway in every shape and size, each pair louder and more fabulous than the next.

Sporty dresses: -with their flirty A-line skirts and shoulder-showcasing bodices—are going to distract quite a few dudes. They work just as easily with wedges and high-heel sandals as they do with comfy canvas sneakers.

Bold Stripes: take spring’s big, bold, uncomplicated stripes for a spin instead. With denim, they’re all-American; with navy, they’re nautical-chic; and worn head-to-toe, they’re just plain cool.
