Fashion can make you stand out from the herd, but following trends blindly can also put you in the middle of the crowd.

For most people, runaway clothes are out of reach and simply impractical in day to day life. While trying out quirky outfits and inventing eccentric styles of fun, everybody needs some staples in their closet.

What better way to do it than bringing out the “old is gold” style? If you happen to visit a vintage store, then pick these evergreen essentials:

A Pair of Versatile Boots

A great pair of boots is comfortable to throw on and can be matched with almost anything without a second thought.  Even though it is easy to buy a pair that is ‘supposedly’ vintage and brand new, there is still the pain of breaking them in, and it can be a tiring process.

It is relatively easy to find the ones that have already been broken in and are available in various types, such as cowboy, combat, leather, or ankle boots. Trust us, they will have you traveling back to the 80s in no time.

A Glamorous 80s Dress

A modern-chic look is definitely an easy choice, but to make the heads turn, try inculcating a little retro style. It is timeless and sophisticated, and the options are simply unlimited. Pick a dress from the 80s era that doesn’t look like a costume, but more like edgy, experimental, and different.

Since vintage dresses are enough on their own and are high on glamour, underplay the accessories and makeup to let the clothes do the talking.

Flannel Shirt

Flannel looks cool and can be worn over another top, lending the whole ensemble a southern vibe.

Denim Jacket

Another trend that has withstood the test of time and has emerged as a winner has to be the denim jacket. Perfect for the winter, spring, and autumn months, they look edgy and hipster. Denim on denim moment can be a disaster, but with this, it is easy to make it work.

The styling opportunities never end and can be paired over or with any other clothing.

50/50 Tee

Made of 50% cotton and 50% polyester, these shirts had quite the fan-following back in the day. They were produced by brands with colorful logos and catchy slogans. When it comes to finding a good tee, we say, the bolder, the better!
