7 GREAT REASONS TO BUY VINTAGE CLOTHING!
Wednesday, January 7, 2009 at 9:48am
With all of the different places us girls can shop for clothes, why should you choose to spend your hard earned cash on clothing that is vintage? That is the question I am going to be answering in this little guide. Yes, it's true that I am a seller of vintage (my eBay shop is called Lullie Vintage Clothing) so I might be a bit biased, but let it be known that I was an enthusiast and buyer of vintage for 20 years before I ever started selling! Below are some well-thought reasons why you should buy vintage! Classics never go out of style. Period. When we look at the world of fashion we always see echoes of the past and plenty of those echoes are not so subtle. Take a look at almost any runway and you'll see a show filled with fashions that call back to styles from earlier eras. Red carpets are packed with leading ladies wearing vintage gowns. The newest It-girls and socialites are always cavorting about in vintage too. Why is this? As you'll read below, It's for many reasons. Vintage is known as a favorite of visionaries and creative types because simply stated: the hype is justified. Oh, and in case you've got visions of grandma in her rocking chair, vintage doesn't have to mean "old" either! The fashion world is a circle where everything old becomes new again. Because of this, vintage is versatile. It can be up to the minute fresh if you so choose, it's all in how you wear it. Pair vintage items with new accessories or vice versa. Mix and match for an uber-hip look that isn't dated or retro. You can wear vintage to go right along with the current trends or you can make your own trends. Here's just a few reasons why vintage clothing is so great.
Vintage is Unique
Have you ever walked into a party and realized you were wearing the same dress as another girl? We cringe at the thought of this common social misfortune. With vintage you are spared these embarrassing moments because vintage is unique and one of a kind. When you wear a vintage garment you are wearing a rare piece of clothing that very well might be the only one of its kind left anywhere. Vintage fashions are anywhere from 20 - 80 years old. For the most part, these older items were produced in much smaller quantities than the mass produced clothing of today. Let's not forget that out of the small amount that were originally made, most are probably not still around today. This is one of the main reasons why so many Hollywood celebrities wear vintage on the red carpets. Angelina Jolie doesn't want to wear the same thing to this year's Academy Awards that Katy Perry wore to last year's Grammys so stars ask their stylists to find them something one of a kind - something vintage. Wearing vintage assures that you'll stand out from the masses in a trendsetting outfit that accentuates your individuality!
