Today, there’s a new generation putting their own spin on vintage—blending streetwear, 90s-to-2000s vibes, and preppy or clean-cut grunge styles.
These icons might not come from old movies, but they certainly know the power of a great thrifted piece.
Here are 5 names to follow for inspiration (and to help you style or photograph the items you receive in your United Vintage box or bundle):
1. Emma Chamberlain – the cool kid of casual vintage ☕️
Oversized sweatshirts, pleated skirts, grandpa sweaters, 2000s sunglasses, low-rise baggies… Emma proves that style isn’t about brands—it’s about attitude. She effortlessly blends vintage and modern styles.
Style inspo: wide-leg jeans, faded crewneck sweater, retro sunglasses → take the photo in a cozy café or against a brick wall.
2. ASAP Rocky – the king of luxury-meets-thrift blends 👑
He’s a master at mixing styles: designer pieces + a vintage military trench coat + faded jeans. He makes the most of colors, patterns, and oversized cuts… all while keeping his look 100% sharp.
From our bundles: workwear jackets, graphic T-shirts, straight-leg or cargo jeans → pair them with clean sneakers.
3. Bella Hadid – the queen of modern Y2K 🔥
She brought back low-rise jeans, racing jackets, crop tops, and baguette bags—basically everything you’ll find in a Y2K United Vintage box. Each outfit is perfectly styled, yet looks like it came straight out of a 2002 closet.
Photo inspiration: bathroom mirror, direct flash filter, laid-back pose but killer outfit.
4. Tyler, The Creator – the colorful preppy with a '70s twist 🎨
He mixes cardigans, pleated pants, beanies, velvet jackets, and retro high school vibes… all in soft or bold color palettes. Got a piece that feels “too classic”? Take a cue from Tyler and give it a fresh twist.
Try this look: camel-colored pants, white shirt, forest green vest, beanie → take photos outdoors in natural light.
5. Devon Lee Carlson – The Tumblr-core aesthetic is back 📸
Tie-dye tank tops, denim skirts, printed pants, chunky belts, kitschy vintage T-shirts… Devon is the ultimate 2024 Pinterest/Vinted/Instagram inspiration—a mix of '90s romance and street chic.
Target style: a messy yet intentional look → natural pose, candid shot, soft golden hour lighting.
📦 How to use these icons with what you have:
-
Take a look at each item in your box or bundle: who might it fit?
-
Create an “inspired by” outfit and photograph it in their style
-
Post it on Vinted with cool keywords (“Tyler vibe,” “Bella-approved,” etc.)
-
And most of all: don't be afraid to mix eras → that's exactly what everyone's into right now.
