5 modern fashion icons to follow if you’re vibing with vintage

5 modern fashion icons to follow if you’re vibing with vintage

Today, there’s a new generation putting their own spin on vintage — blending streetwear, 90s-2000s vibes, preppy or clean-cut grunge styles.
These icons might not come from old movies, but they do know the power of a great thrifted piece.

Here are 5 names to follow for inspiration (and to help you style or shoot the pieces you get 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 mixes vintage and modern effortlessly.

Style inspo: wide-leg jeans, faded crewneck sweater, retro shades → shoot it in a cozy café or against a brick wall.


2. ASAP Rocky – the king of luxe x thrift blends 👑


He’s the master of mixing: designer pieces + vintage military trench + faded jeans. He owns color, patterns, oversized fits… all while keeping his look 100% sharp.

From our bundles: workwear jackets, graphic tees, straight-leg or cargo jeans → pair with clean sneakers.


3. Bella Hadid – the queen of modern Y2K 🔥


She brought back low-rise jeans, racing jackets, crop tops, baguette bags — basically everything you’ll find in a Y2K United Vintage box. Each outfit is perfectly styled, yet looks like it came from a 2002 closet.

Photo inspo: 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 trousers, beanies, velvet jackets, and high school retro vibes… all in soft or punchy color palettes. Got a piece that feels “too classic”? Channel Tyler and give it a fresh spin.

Try this look: camel trousers, white shirt, forest green vest, beanie → shoot outdoors in natural light.


5. Devon Lee Carlson – Tumblr-core aesthetic is back 📸


Tie-dye tanks, denim skirts, printed pants, chunky belts, kitschy vintage tees… Devon is the ultimate 2024 Pinterest / Vinted / Insta inspo — a mix of 90s romance and street chic.

Target style: messy but intentional look → natural pose, candid shot, soft golden hour lighting.


📦 How to use these icons with what you got:

  • Look at each piece in your box or bundle: who could it fit?

  • Create a “inspired by” outfit and shoot 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.
