Finally, the trend of vintage and reached up to Russia. First, we are beginning to tire of the "fast" modes: low-quality, non-unique, environmentally harmful things. Secondly, almost healed the wounds inflicted on our deficit and restructuring, and secondhand stores are no longer associated with a disadvantage. On the contrary, now let's clothes a second life - it is fashionable, cool and automatically turns you into an elite club "conscious consumers". Let's talk about how to wear and where to take vintage clothing.
What to wear
Vintage clothing is when it reaches the age of 20 if it is made by designer and reflects the characteristic style of the era, to which he belongs. That is, we are interested in everything that appeared in the 90 years before, and that is now the height of fashion.
Jackets and pantsuits oversayz
The jacket may be a double-breasted or single-breasted, a cell or strip. The main thing is that it is sufficiently broad in the shoulders, free at the waist and covered her hips. If this pantsuit, then
pants It should also be wide, long and high-waisted.Long coat
For winter - coat to toe, for autumn and spring - a classic trench coat or mac maxi-length. best fashionable colors - red and burgundy. And, of course, do not pass by these same models of classic shades: sand, gray, khaki.
Velveteen
Jackets, pants, overalls and even coat of velvet - this trend in 2019. The absolute hit - a corduroy jacket, reminding us of the young parents and the era of the '70s.
Dresses and blouses in Victorian style
Long, with lots of frills and flounces in fine flower or embroidery, muted, as if faded colors. This spring you will see a large number of dresses and blouses in the mass-market and, of course, would be beneficial to stand out in their "real" dress of my grandmother's trunk.
How to wear and what to combine
1. Vintage + Present
Always good to play on the contrast. Mix and match your vintage with something ultramodern - it is as relevant as ever. For example, a checkered jacket in the style of the 70's can be combined with a bright dress, hoodie with large logo or sports suit with stripes. A pants-culottes - boots with metallic colors and shirts with cartoon characters.
2. Vintage Classic +
If you want to focus on an expensive vintage items - from YSL jacket or trench from Burberry, - combine it with something classic and neutral: jeans, black leggings, white shirt or T-shirt, basic sweater.
3. Vintage items from different eras
Vintage with Vintage - it is also a great option. Try to mix clothes from different epochs - 70 with 90-bit or 20-th to 80-mi. Exactly you get something interesting.
4. Vintage things one era
Well, the most daring option - to dress from head to toe in the things that belong to the same era. If you are very fond of a certain period in the history of fashion, subtly you feel styles and are not afraid to give the impression that you are just a theme party - forward.
Where and how to look for
1. On vintage supermarkets
The first and most obvious - visit one of the vintage markets, who meet several times a year in Moscow and St. Petersburg (for example @vintagemarketplacemoscow or @bigresaleweekend). They are good because they are found in the same place all the fans of the vintage: from collectors brooches of tabs from the English partridge hunting society to collectors underwear in retro style. Where you can still feel, try on and even bargain.
2. In Instagram
Take a look at Instagram-small shops whose owners - true connoisseurs of retro and at the same time great mods. They hunt for their treasures at flea markets and second-hand world and selected for their audiences the highest quality, affordable and actual vintage items. Often they themselves perform the role of photographers, models and stylists, presenting their collections.
I recommend @lolita_ubita, @secta_lis and @coffre_vintage. Not everyone has their showrooms, but in the presence of a beautiful and informative Instagram-profile and worldwide shipping via transport service.
3. The commission shops
Not to be confused with the second hand! If you really need a vintage of good brands, then I recommend that Moscow stores Past Perfect, StrogoVintage and Peremotka, as well as Off in St. Petersburg.
4. independently
I watched the show Girlboss about Sophia Amoruso, creator Store Nasty Gal? If you too love the excitement of hunting, go to the independent searches. To begin, do not forget to prosherstit wardrobes grandmothers and mothers, and then - big old second-hand. The best in this respect are considered stores in European capitals - Helsinki, Berlin, London, Paris, - where you can find antique-known brands for a few euros.
