Top 5 Vintage Clothes To Wear Now: May 2014

Bold Necklaces: As the temperature climbs and necklines open, a big necklace is the perfect vintage accessory.  Go bohemian or Hollywood, Polynesian or preppie... with vintage necklaces you'll find every style.  One size fits all, so they're beautiful gifts too.








Classic Cottons: There's a good reason everyone loves cotton... it keeps you cool and crisp, and our collectible selection of vintage summer clothes includes lots of this classic fabric.  There's everything from denim and canvas to one-of-a-kind cotton prints.

                                                             

Vintage Nighties: There's only so many months in a year when flannel stays in the pajama drawer, so break out the beautiful lingerie while the weather's warm.  Vintage nightgowns like ours are ultra-feminine and ever-gorgeous, and most are wash & wear nylon that dries wrinkle-free.

Retro Swimwear: Made plans for the summer yet?  We bet they involve a cabana and a mai tai.  Dress the part in classic style with a vintage swimsuit for one-of-a-kind poolside appeal.

Novelty Handbags: Bring a conversation piece along for the day!  Vintage summer handbags can look good enough to eat, like the fruit salad bag at left.  Others are preppie chic in canvas totes, or glamorous in vivid flowers and fabrics.  From straw and wicker to jute and sisal, summertime vintage purses are a special splendor all their own.

Top 5 Vintage Clothes To Wear Now: July 2013

Maxi Dresses: Summer's in full swing, and autumn's around the corner.  What to wear?  Our vintage maxi dresses range from sleeveless to long-sleeved in floor-skimming styles.  This fresh white cotton frock (pictured at left) is perfect for a bright afternoon party.  It's an early 1970s design from a haute boutique label.  If you go from outdoors in, just add a navy cardigan.








Stripes: Stripes aren't new news, but in vintage clothing we like "old" news when it comes to fashion!  And big bold stripes keep showing up on the runway and the street.  Check out our women's striped clothes for a big bold variety!

                                                             

Vintage Denim: Good old denim is a great stand-by in every vixen's closet!  Our denim clothes for summer include sun dresses, short shorts and vintage capri pants.  Or check out all vintage denim for over 100 items including jeans & jackets for upcoming autumn style.






 

Sexy Leather: Pick up vintage leather shoes in dark hues now, and you'll wear them into fall with fabulous style.  Leather's a hot look at the moment in garmenture, and while we have beautiful suede jackets and such, they won't get as much use in July as a practical pair of heels.  Also - there's a bunch of new-old stock 1940s shoes at the link above for shoe collectors.

 

 

 

Lucite: Fashion's pretty obsessed lately with 1990s style, which means lucite and lots of cutting-edge ideas.  But lucite's not just a 1990s thing.  It goes back decades and appeared in interesting variety, from completely clear 1970s lucite heels to lucite buttons & 1950s handbags, all viewable in our stash of vintage lucite fashion.
