When you want to own some vintage clothing,
and if you are a neophyte, it is better that you start with the classics. When
you have something timeless in your wardrobe, you will feel that you have
something that is worth the money that you spend to own it. Therefore, better
start with a good piece back from the 1950s or the 1960s where you had beaded
cardigans, large buttoned black dresses and what not which reflected the style,
personality, and aura in a royal fashion. The only thing you have to make sure is
that the dress suits your personality at the current times and you will not
lose interest in it quickly.
Know Your
Era
People who do not want to take any chances
would want to stick to an era which is closest to the current times. This is
because they want to play safe and also have an abundance of clothes on display
to choose from. More you go back in time; the chances are that you will get
less and less stock and certainly not a vintage nike and thereby limit your options. Moreover, items from further back in
time may look awkward in the current times and when you wear it might look that
you are wearing a costume which may not incorporate well into your modern and
personal lifestyle.
Feel the
Fabric
When you have selected a vintage product and
have decided to buy you should pause a little and not let your emotion take the
decision. You may have found the best 90stommy Hilfiger but feel the fabric of the item to check the condition of
it. You will know whether the fabric has still got life in it. The fabric
should not be brittle, dry and shatter away with your touch and also should not
have a faded design or color.
