Classic fashion always comes back around. No matter how long something is out of style, you can bet it will be trending again at some point. This year is all about vintage looks and you’ll find many of your favourites back in the fashion magazines. Take a look at the vintage-inspired trends you need to know about.
Big blazers
Big blazers will never let you down. They are fashionable, practical, and versatile. Whether you’re wearing a blazer with a skirt to the office or you’re using a blazer as a cover-up over a dress for a night out, it will never fail. They come in a variety of different styles and colours so you’re sure to find one you can pair with tons of different looks.
Crochet vest
Crochet vests are ideal for showing off your personality and talent. You can choose simple, moderate, or complicated designs and the yarn comes in a variety of different colours. You don’t need to be practised at crochet to make your own clothing. A good place to start is with crochet kits. You can find a large variety at specialist sites such as www.woolcouturecompany.com/.
Chain belts
Chain belts may seem like a blast from the past but they’re back. They can help to accentuate any outfit by adding a touch of glam. You’ll find chain belts in any fashion store these days, but you can also make your own. Find out how here:
Distressed leather jackets
A distressed leather jacket can make you look great no matter what situation you’re in. Although you could go out and buy a new leather jacket in any fashion store, there are some fantastic finds in second-hand stores and charity shops. Distressed leather jackets that are kept in good condition can last for years and even become heirlooms.
When contemplating vintage fashion, think about the items you’ve loved and lost over the years. Chances are good that they’ll be back in fashion sometime soon and it’s worth finding more. Keep your eye on the runways for inspiration.
Choosing a jacket with a vintage feel
Jackets are one of the easiest ways to bring a vintage look into your wardrobe. Traditional, military and sport styles all have their place, and there are plenty of genuine vintage pieces around if you want the real thing rather than a modern version of an old design.
Decide which style you want before you start shopping, as the cut and construction of a jacket affect how long it will last. Fit matters just as much. With so much choice, it pays to know exactly how a jacket will sit on you before you buy, and reviews from people who have bought the same jacket can tell you a lot about sizing and quality.
Shopping around online often turns up good prices, so a well made jacket need not cost a fortune. Choose carefully and you will have a coat you can wear again and again, which suits a style of dressing that keeps coming back.
