Why Vintage?

Why would anyone want to wear vintage clothing? First of all, it's fun! When you wear vintage, you stand out from the crowd. The chances of someone else wearing the same exact outfit to that special event are slim to none. More and more high school girls are shopping vintage for dances and proms because it guarantees originality. You can wear vintage just to add a little something authentically retro to your clothing and not look the same as everyone else, which is difficult in style-conscious K.L

Vintage clothing is also nostalgic. Wearing vintage gives a girl the chance to experience a small part of history. In today's ambiguous world, it feels nice to pull on a crinoline and full feminine skirt once in a while. Let's face it: grown-up girls like to play dress up, too!

For the thrifty, the prices on vintage items should be incentive enough. Local thrift stores, flea markets, and yard sales are excellent sources of old clothing at unbelievable prices. Broke? Go volunteer to help clean out Mom's closet!

 

When shopping for vintage clothing online, we recommend that first-time buyers be aware of what it means to buy and wear vintage clothing. It's not like something new and fresh from the boutique, it's going to feel different and smell differently (there is no "new" clothing smell) and the items do need to be treated a little more carefully.

Online shoppers should always ask questions up front about the garments, especially if they are unsure of the size or condition. When shopping vintage online, be sure to read the site's terms of sales, ordering procedure, and return policy before ordering.

Vintage clothing can be teamed up with modern apparel or mixed and matched with other vintage pieces. Some find that wearing head to toe vintage is just not practical in day to day life, but by adding a few pieces one can create a look that is uniquely their own.

There you have it: vintage clothes are fun, affordable, and enable the wearer to create and maintain an original look. So what are you waiting for? Go shopping!
