This Season: A Touch of Vintage Charm and Hollywood Romance
Vintage trends, lifestyles, and “Old Hollywood” glamour have been steadily making a comeback. Popular in 2012, the vintage trend is continuing into 2013 stronger than ever. (YAY!) There are many ways to explore vintage styles and put some glamour into your life!
Wardrobe is a fun way to show vintage style and class. There are now many online retailers offering vintage styles with great customer service. One of the easiest ways to incorporate a vintage look into your wardrobe is to style one or two of them with your usual outfits. Toughen a sweet 40’s or 50’s vintage style dress with a denim or leather jacket, tights, and boots. Or make it office appropriate with a pearl-buttoned cardigan, pendant necklace, and flats. A vintage midi skirt could also go to the office with a cardigan accessorized with a vintage brooch.
Vintage accessories are also an easy way to experiment with a vintage look. A quick search online will show that established online businesses are reflecting this trend as well. A great example is the new “Hayworth Collection” of eyeglasses and sunglasses from Warby and Parker. The frames and sunglasses from this collection have a fabulous vintage Old Hollywood look, and are a great choice if you’re seeking Warby and Parker’s usual combination of affordability, modernity and luxury. Along with sunglasses that make you look as though you stepped out of a noir film, jewelry is also a great way to add a vintage feeling. Thrift stores, online auction sites, and online retailers such as ModCloth are all good places to shop for vintage brooches, pendants and pearls to complete your looks.
While wearing vintage items is a great way to update your wardrobe, using vintage touches in your home is a fun way to add some glamour to your everyday life. Use an art deco lamp, an ornate ‘50s mirror, a collection of ‘60s vases, or other vintage accessories to liven up a room. Accent a wall in your house using vintage themed wallpaper. Mix a vintage cocktail, such as the Tom Collins, in some vintage cocktail glasses for your next party. Once you get used to having Old Hollywood glamour in your everyday life, you’ll be finding many ways show your vintage flair!
If you love sunglasses as much as I do, check these out!
Or maybe the eyeglass version, my eyes are so bad I need think frames to hold my thick lenses...seriously thinking these could do the job. I think I could pull it off.
I love the vintage look to frames nowadays and so glad the trend has been returning!!
