Fashion is an eternal restart. Every era has its iconic pieces, those that are instantly recognizable. But what about today? They're back, more desirable than ever... especially in vintage!
At United Vintage, every week we receive bales full of treasures straight from those cult decades. Here are 5 pieces that have left their mark on fashion history... and that you can get from us.
📍1. The '70s - The pie-cutter collar shirt
This was the decade of disco, eccentricity and daring silhouettes. The wide-collared shirt, often printed or satin-finished, is emblematic of this period.
Why is it cult?
It immediately evokes the feverish nights of the seventies and the style of bands like the Bee Gees.
👕 Want to try this look?
👉 Check out our "Branded" bundles for men or women to discover this kind of piece. The retro effect is guaranteed.
📍2. The 80s - The oversized jacket
Between square cuts, XXL shoulder pads and shiny fabrics, the 80s were fearless. The oversized jacket (denim, leather or bomber) is a perfect example.
Why is it cult?
It's the statement garment par excellence. It transforms any look into a confident statement.
🧥 At United Vintage, our "jackets & coats" bundles are perfect for finding those 80s gems.
👉 Come rummage around here - we even sometimes have pieces from cult brands.
📍3. The 90s - High-waisted jeans
The straight, rigid, stretch-free cut, with a high waist: 90s jeans are back in style, and all the better for it. They're THE essential piece for recreating an authentic vintage look.
Why is it cult?
It structures the silhouette, gives an effortless look, and goes with absolutely everything.
👖 We won't lie to you: our denim bundles go fast.
👉 Grab yours right here - straight cut, mom, regular... there's always all kinds.
🧠 Tip: since you can't choose the exact size (our bales are random), consider reselling or exchanging any models that don't fit. Some of our customers even make a business out of it!
📍4. The 2000s - The striped tracksuit
Back to Y2K, with Adidas or Kappa ensembles, snap-fastening pants and a sporty-chic spirit. Very much in vogue today among fans of streetwear and archival fashion.
Why is it a cult?
It's the symbol of a pop, no-holds-barred era, brought up to date by current trends.
👟 O ur sportswear boxes are often full of pieces in this style.
📍5. The 2010s - The minimalist hoodie
Already vintage? Yes. The early 2010s saw the emergence of a sleeker style, inspired by skateboarders, artists and up-and-coming streetwear brands.
Why is it cult?
It's a comfortable, unisex piece that you can wear oversized or fitted, in layering or on its own.
👕 Want to get into reselling or creating casual looks?
