Dress to Impress With Vintage Clothing

When people refer to vintage clothing they are referring to used clothing, especially that from the 1940s through the 1970s. However, in some cases people will call newer used clothing vintage in an effort to be able to sell it at a higher price or because they don't realize it is a reproduction of a vintage item. Knowing a lot about the various styles and clothing brands common in the era you are interested in can help you determine whether something is truly a vintage find.

Vintage clothes can really help you dress to impress because they allow you to wear a one of a kind outfit. It is unlikely anyone would have the same outfit as you since you didn't buy it new from a popular store. This is a great way to insure that your clothing is always unique.

Depending on your preferences, you can decide to choose an outfit that is similar to styles that are currently in fashion, such as something popular about 20 years ago or 40 years ago, or you can dress to impress by wearing a classic style that is always in fashion. Of course, if you just want to be different, you can choose something that you like that doesn't follow any current fashion trends. The important thing is that you like what you are wearing and that you feel good in it.

When purchasing vintage clothes, there are some things you need to take into consideration. As this clothing is used, you need to check it over carefully to make sure that it is in good condition. Some vintage clothing is very old, and it can be very fragile, especially if it wasn't treated very well by previous owners. Look for stains, holes, tears, thin places in the fabric or any other type of damage before you purchase an item.

Sizes were also different in the past, so you can't count on just looking at the size to determine whether older clothes will fit you well. However, there is a good way to deal with this even when it isn't possible for you to actually try on an item of clothing.

Find an item in your closet that fits you closely and one that is a little loose, and measure it. Then, when you are in a clothing shop or looking for this type of clothing on the internet, you can simply check the measurements. They should be no smaller than those of the item clothing that fits you well and no larger than those of the item of clothing that is a bit loose.

Besides giving you the ability to wear clothing nobody else will be wearing, wearing clothing that is vintage is also environmentally friendly. You are keeping these clothes from ending up in the trash, and you are saving the resources that would have been necessary to make you new clothing and transport it to the area where you live.
