What is considered vintage women's clothing?

On Etsy, the official position is that vintage clothes are garments that were made 20 or more years ago. Vintage sellers on Etsy curate a variety of women’s clothing collections from different eras, including styles from the 1920s , clothes from the ‘90s including some of the top '90s fashion trends , and outfits from every decade in between. Retro, on the other hand, refers to the style of the item and not when it was made. In other words, a new dress would be considered retro if the style draws inspiration from ‘80s fashion trends , but the dress would not be considered vintage, because the garment wasn’t made in that time period.

How to shop for vintage women's clothing

Although it can be fun to hunt for items in thrift stores, it’s much easier to shop for vintage women's clothing online. The shops on Etsy sell a wide assortment of thousands of unique vintage dresses, tops, pants, skirts, shorts, and other garments in all sorts of styles and sizes. Plus, Etsy allows you to get very specific with your search terms as well as filter your search results by price. A few factors to consider when shopping for vintage women’s clothes are the occasion you are shopping for, the aesthetic you personally feel great in, and your body type. Keep in mind that when it comes to clothing from time periods like the 1920s to the 1950s, when most women were predominantly wearing skirts and dresses, you will typically find more vintage women's dresses compared to other items. Pants started becoming very popular in 1960s fashions , which also featured bright colors and short-cut skirts. If you prefer the flow and comfort of loose tops and flowing dresses, consider 1970s bohemian styles. When shopping for vintage clothes online, it’s a good idea to know your measurements. Clothing sizes can change over time. They can also vary widely by brand. Etsy sellers often give sizing information on listings, but if you still have questions about sizing, it’s a good idea to message the seller before ordering.

How to style vintage women's clothing

There are lots of ways to incorporate unique vintage clothing pieces into your wardrobe. Here are a few styling tips. Consider making your vintage piece the focal point of your outfit. For example, style a brightly-colored vintage summer dress with a large-brimmed hat, a neutral handbag, and some platform sandals. Or pair black trousers and a white blouse with an eye-catching patterned vintage cardigan or blazer for a chic office outfit. Try mixing and matching clothes from different eras for a fresh style. For example, match vintage work clothes , like coveralls and jumpsuits from the ‘60s, with a mod leather jacket and ‘90s chunky boots. Or style a vintage tee from the ‘80s with a ‘60s mini-skirt, and high-top sneakers. Whatever your vintage style, mix and matching clothing from different eras to add a little fun and individual style to your look.
