The Greatest Fashion Eras Through 5 Iconic Pieces

The Greatest Fashion Eras Through 5 Iconic Pieces

Fashion is a Never-Ending Cycle.
Every era has its iconic pieces—the ones you recognize instantly. And today? They’re back, more desirable than ever… especially in their vintage versions.
At United Vintage, we receive weekly bales filled with treasures straight from these legendary decades.
Here are 5 iconic pieces that shaped fashion history… and that you can score from us.


📍 1. The 70s – The Wide-Collar Disco Shirt

It was the decade of disco, eccentricity, and bold silhouettes. The large-collar shirt—often printed or satin—is a true icon of the era.

Why it’s iconic:
It instantly evokes the feverish nights of the seventies and the signature style of bands like the Bee Gees.

📍 2. The 80s – The Oversized Jacket

With sharp cuts, massive shoulder pads, and shiny fabrics, the 80s were all about bold fashion. The oversized jacket (denim, leather, or bomber style) is a perfect example.

Why it’s iconic:
It’s the ultimate statement piece—instantly elevates any outfit.

🧥 At United Vintage, our "Jackets & Coats" bales are perfect for uncovering these 80s gems.
👉 Dig through them here—we even stock pieces from cult brands.


📍 3. The 90s – High-Waisted Jeans

Straight cut, rigid, no stretch, and high-waisted—90s jeans are back in full force. It’s THE essential piece for building an authentic vintage look.

Why it’s iconic:
It shapes your figure, looks effortlessly cool, and goes with everything.

👖 Not gonna lie: our denim bales sell out fast.
👉 Grab yours here—straight-leg, mom jeans, regular fit… there’s always a great mix.

🧠 Pro tip: Since you can’t pick your exact size (our bales are random), resell or trade what doesn’t fit. Some of our customers even turn this into a business!


📍 4. The 2000s – The Striped Tracksuit

Back to Y2K with Adidas or Kappa sets, snap pants, and the sport-chic spirit. Hugely popular right now among streetwear lovers and archive fashion fans.

Why it’s iconic:
It’s a symbol of a bold, carefree pop era—brought back to life by current trends.

👟 Our sportswear boxes are often packed with these types of pieces.


📍 5. The 2010s – The Minimalist Hoodie

Already vintage? Yes. The early 2010s introduced a cleaner aesthetic, inspired by skaters, creatives, and rising streetwear labels.

Why it’s iconic:
It’s unisex, comfy, can be worn oversized or fitted, layered or on its own.

👕 Want to start reselling or creating casual looks?
