Vintage style is making a comeback! ✨ Here are our tips for adopting it in style, without falling into disguise.
A well-dosed vintage touch
The key to a good vintage look is the right measure. 🎯 We avoid the total 80s look, and prefer to mix a strong vintage piece with modern basics. For example:
-
An 🧥 80soversized jacket with raw denim,
-
A 👗 retro pleated skirt with a simple white tee,
💡 A t United Vintage, we choose vintage pieces that blend perfectly into a contemporary dressing room!
Favoring flattering cuts
Not all vintage pieces are easy to wear. To avoid the costume effect 🎭, favor :
-
The timeless cuts (trench coats, straight jeans, fitted jackets),
-
Pieces that really suit you,
-
Balanced patterns: small polka dots, stylized flowers, discreet checks.
🪡 Think about having a piece you like altered: a well-made adjustment can totally transform a vintage garment!
Mixing eras and materials
Play with decades and textures to create a style that suits you:
-
A 90s top + 70s flare pants = winning combo 💥,
-
Sixties dress + 2000s leather jacket = stylish contrast 😎.
Vintage accessories
No need to change everything at once! Start with retro accessories:
-
A weathered leather bag,
-
80s costume jewelry,
-
A wide vintage belt,
🎯 These details make the difference without upsetting your current style. See our selection of accessories on the United Vintage website!
Keeping a neutral base
For a good balance, use a simple, up-to-date base:
-
Sober colors: white, beige, black
-
Minimalist pieces: straight jeans, white shirt
-
Modern shoes: sneakers, moccasins, ankle boots .
Vintage thus becomes the original touch that personalizes your outfit without weighing it down.
In short: to each his own retro balance
Achieving a vintage look is all about finding the right balance between the past and modernity. At United Vintage, we help you create a unique, trendy and eco-responsible style 🌿.
