Vintage has become such a popular word in fashion trends that you see it used in a variety of different capacities as you shop. You often see it referring to true vintage clothing referring to gently used clothing or an old piece that has been hanging in your closet since the 70s. Many designers and stores or boutiques tend to use vintage style clothing or vintage inspired clothing referring to new clothing with vintage elements in the design. As an example, you may see a new modern twist on a patterned retro a line mini dress that you might have seen worn in the 70s. Similarly, you may see new bohemian style pieces frequently referred to as vintage inspired. Taking those vintage elements and incorporating them into new, modern style clothes is what the vintage inspired terminology references.

We love the look of vintage inspired clothes and the frequently frilly, feminine elements that have made a comeback into so many modern styles and pieces. Here are a few examples of great vintage inspired pieces that are all brand new.

In addition, the style of this tunic looks like it just walked out of the 60s and yet today would look so hot with tall boots to really bring a vintage style to the modern day.

We could easily see Betty Draper wearing this dress to a dinner party. Don’t you just love the feminine touches like the ruffles around the v neck and the fitted waist on this dress? Again you see the polka dot pattern.
