5 modern fashion icons to follow if you love vintage

Today, there's a new generation remixing vintage in their own way, with streetwear, 90s-2000s, preppy and clean grunge looks. These icons may not have come out of old movies, but they know the power of a good vintage piece.

Here are 5 names to follow for inspiration (and to learn how to shoot/match the pieces you receive in your United Vintage box or bundle)


1. Emma Chamberlain - the cool kid of casual-vintage ☕️

Oversized sweatshirts, pleated skirts, grandfather sweaters, 2000s glasses, low-waisted baggys... Emma is living proof that style isn't in the brand, it's in the attitude. She effortlessly mixes vintage and modern.

Inspi look: baggy jeans, washed-out round-neck sweater, retro glasses → shoot in a café, or in front of a brick wall.


2. ASAP Rocky - the king of the luxury x thrift mix 👑

He's the expert of the perfect mix: designer pieces + vintage military trench + faded jeans. He embraces color, patterns and loose cuts... all while maintaining a 100% clean flow.

To spot in our bundles: workwear jackets, patterned t-shirts, straight or cargo jeans → pair with clean sneakers.


3. Bella Hadid - queen of the modernized Y2K 🔥

She's revived low-rise jeans, racing jackets, crop tops, baguettes, in short... everything you'd find in a United Vintage Y2K box. Each look is mastered to the second, but looks as if it's been pulled out of a 2002 closet.

Photo inspiration: bathroom mirror, direct flash filter, blasé pose but sharp look.


4. Tyler, The Creator - the colorful preppy who loves the '70s 🎨

He mixes cardigans, pegged pants, hats, velvet jackets, very retro high-school-styled looks... with a palette of soft or flashy colors. If you receive pieces that seem "too wise", think Tyler and reinvent them.

Possible look: camel pants, white shirt, pine-green cardigan, beanie → shot outdoors, natural light.


5. Devon Lee Carlson - the Tumblr aesthetic that's coming back strong 📸

Tie & dye tank tops, denim skirts, printed pants, wide belts, kitschy vintage tees... Devon is the very essence ofPinterest / Vinted / Insta 2024 inspo, between 90s romance and street chic.

Style to aim for : messy but coherent look → natural pose, on-the-fly photo, soft light (like golden hour).


📦 How do you use these icons with what you got?

  1. Look at each piece of your box or bundle: who might it fit?

  2. Create a look "inspired by" and shoot it in their style

  3. Put it online on Vinted with stylish keywords ("vibe Tyler", "Bella-approved", etc.).

  4. And above all: dare to mix eras → that's what everyone's looking for.
