Hello
everyone! Today, we are going to talk about retro and vintage fashion.
Maybe because I really like the both styles so I couldn't decide which
one to present to you. These fashion styles were developed with popular
culture and changed quickly with the influence of rock and roll and
Hollywood movies. These styles of the 40s, 50s and 60s gave way to
others in the 70s and 80s, but the classic quality of these styles have
been coming back in revivals and each time they do, they are updated
just a little bit, infusing the original spirit with a modern day
twist. There is a subtle difference between vintage and retro clothing
styles.
Vintage clothing is the actual clothing produced in the time period. These garments are very collectible and desirable by vintage clothing enthusiasts which may include specific designer labels and material, however since it is often previously worn, and clothing wears out, vintage clothing is often times hard to find in good wearable condition. Vintage clothing sizing may be a problem as it was somewhat different in the 40s 50s and 60s than it is today.
Retro Clothing is new clothing in classic styles, sometimes called vintage style. These modern designers are inspired by vintage styles and cuts from by-gone eras, but are using modern materials and methods to create these retro-inspired garments. A big advantage of retro style clothing is that since it is produced today, it is generally easier to find in desired modern sizing and produced in modern fabrics.
