What about an outfit makes someone look like they're dressed in vintage-style?

Question

i want to dress vintage-style, without actually wearing vintage clothes. do you have any suggestions? links to polyvore outfits? what makes someone look vintage-style?

Answer 1

I think the point of it is to have clothing that doesn't look like today's standard style of clothing, the easiest thing to do is to search for vintage styled clothing.

Here is a link with some vintage pieces:

Also try watching some older movies to get some ideas, pick an era of clothing you like the best (90's, 80's, 60's, etc.) IMDB.com can help you with the release dates of movies, and you can even find a star from the era you pick, and kind of follow their style, or just take little accents from certain outfits from the person you pick!

Answer 2

well lots of layering.

wear a floral blouse, with a loooong wool grey cardigan, a black velvet pleated mini skirt, tights, gold flats, a red tea cosy hat and lots of gold accessories.

i can make a polyvore if you would like. i'll edit :)

Answer 3

Try some dark skinny jeans which will slim down anyones hips and thighs.

If you want to really be classy try this white top with the ruffles or in cream.

And over that you can put a little black vest like this.

Or if you want to be not that much dressed up you can go with a regular tee like this.

And you can still but the vest over that.

Spice it with a scarf or hat like this or even with some sunglasses.
