Vintage basics to have in your wardrobe

Looking for a retro look without changing everything? All it takes is a few well-chosen vintage basics to create an elegant, timeless wardrobe. 👗✨

The vintage denim jacket: a must-have for every season

It's THE vintage piece par excellence.
With its cool, timeless style, the vintage denim jacket can be adapted to any look: bohemian, streetwear or classic. It goes equally well with a floral dress or tailored pants.

The oversized plaid or patterned shirt

Perfect for casual chic, the oversizedvintage shirt adds character to any outfit. With grunge-style checks or seventies prints, it can be worn open over a t-shirt or tied at the waist.

The floral midi dress: a 70s classic

Feminine, lightweight and full of charm, the vintage floral dress is a must-have. It adds an effortless retro touch and pairs perfectly with a pair of white ankle boots or sneakers.

High-waisted jeans: the flattering cut from the past

Comfortable, elegant and ultra-flattering, vintage high-waisted jeans are a basic that you need to adopt urgently. Whether mom, flare or straight, they elongate the silhouette and give a real allure.

The retro knit sweater: warm and stylish

Ideal for fall and winter, the vintage sweater in cable knit or graphic motifs adds an authentic touch to your look. Paired with a skirt or jeans, it creates a cosy, confident look.

The vintage trench or long coat

For an elegant, structured silhouette, nothing beats a well-cut vintage coat. A trench coat from the '80s or a wool coat from the '70s will warm up your looks while affirming your retro style.

Vintage accessories that make all the difference

Don't neglect the details! A vintage leather belt, a retro cap or a structured bag can transform a basic outfit into a sharp look.
