Today, there’s a new generation that’s putting its own spin on vintage style, blending streetwear, ’90s and 2000s trends, preppy looks, and clean grunge. These icons might not be straight out of old movies, but they know the power of a great thrifted piece.
Here are 5 names to follow for inspiration (and to learn how to style the pieces you receive in your United Vintage box or package)
1. Emma Chamberlain – the cool kid of casual-vintage ☕️
Oversized sweatshirts, pleated skirts, grandpa sweaters, ’2000s-style glasses, low-rise baggy pants… Emma is living proof that style isn’t about the brand—it’s about attitude. She effortlessly mixes vintage and modern pieces.
Outfit inspiration: wide-leg jeans, faded crew-neck sweater, retro sunglasses → perfect for a quick photo in a café or in front of a brick wall.
2. ASAP Rocky – the king of mixing luxury with thrift store finds 👑
He’s the master of the perfect mix: designer pieces + a vintage military trench coat + faded jeans. He embraces color, patterns, and loose fits… all while maintaining a 100% clean look.
Look for these in our bundles: workwear jackets, patterned T-shirts, straight-leg jeans, or cargo pants → pair them with clean sneakers.
3. Bella Hadid – the queen of modern Y2K 🔥
She's brought back low-rise jeans, racing jackets, crop tops, baguette bags—in short, everything you'd find in a United Vintage Y2K box. Every look is perfected down to the second, yet looks like it came straight out of a 2002 closet.
Photo inspiration: bathroom mirror, direct flash filter, a nonchalant pose but a sharp look.
4. Tyler, The Creator – the colorful preppy guy who loves the '70s 🎨
He mixes cardigans, pleated pants, beanies, velvet jackets, and very retro, stylish high-school-inspired looks… with a palette of soft or bold colors. If you receive pieces that seem “too tame” to you, take a cue from Tyler and reinvent them.
Possible outfit: camel-colored pants, white shirt, pine-green cardigan, beanie → photographed outdoors in natural light.
5. Devon Lee Carlson – the Tumblr aesthetic is making a big comeback 📸
Tie-dye tank tops, denim skirts, printed pants, wide belts, kitschy vintage T-shirts... Devon embodies the very essence of2024 Pinterest/Vinted/Instagram inspiration, blending '90s romanticism with street chic.
Style to Aim For : a quirky but cohesive look → natural pose, candid shot, soft lighting (like golden hour).
