You will surely have noticed that this year more than ever, fashion trends are vintage. And our pretty feminine dresses are the first to take the fold with retro cuts, each as chic as the next. Each vintage dress has its era and its codes.
With polka dots, ruffles, pleats, they all have this delicate charm of yesteryear that we like to mix with current pieces for a trendy look.
Which vintage dress to choose ? We take stock of this fashion trend that continues to seduce us.
Fashion designers have fun with the retro years to go and dig strong coins. And among the unbeatable, we find again and again the vintage dress. A vintage cut, a look delicately steeped in history and with it, a unique style that emerges from your dress. Thus, we see reappearing dresses of the 30s , pin-up dresses (if they ever disappeared), pleated dresses and all kinds of vintage cuts from the wardrobes of the 20s to the 90s.
The vintage dress can also be recognized by its print. The polka dot dresses, for example, are truly emblematic of the retro style and particularly that of the pin-ups.
Let's see together which style of vintage dress to fall for this year!
Some shops are masters in this field to bring us into another era. This is the case of Madame Pin-up, the retro dress specialist . At Madame Pin-up, we have fun rediscovering the successful standards of the 50s and 60s.
From the glamorous and sexy pencil dress to the Grease-style rockabilly dress , you will find something for all tastes and all body types. From the most neutral and traditional colors in navy blue, white or red, to whimsical ones in a purely retro style with cherry prints, polka dots, stripes or even a two-tone style, the choice is varied.
Personally, we totally love satin dresses (very trendy this season) and dresses with maxi Peter Pan collar for a unique style. Not to mention the retro 50s dress with its ultra feminine fit. In a version colored like a parma violet, it will be incredibly beautiful to create a retro look in 2021.
Of course, the vintage dress is worn in its own juice in retro mode but it is always advisable to mix it with current pieces like chunky boots , stiletto heels, a perfecto, a denim jacket or an XXL blazer. To be made according to the style of the dress and your own style of dress.
A-line dress, babydoll dress , mini dress, the 60s dress is still everywhere in our women's wardrobes. For a Bardot style or a purely traditional style of the 60s, we go for a dress well marked at the waist with a Bardot collar, a gingham print and an XXL trapeze-shaped petticoat.
Whichever option you choose, we advise you once again to mix your vintage dress with current standards:a pair of block heels, a mini bucket bag, a pair of retro glasses, a glamorous lipstick...
Boho, hippie chic, gypset, the seasons pass but the bohemian style remains . Ever more romantic cuts with flowing and loose cuts, ruffles, asymmetry… Not to mention the soft and delicate colors of the bohemian style. This year, moreover, we set our sights on the candy pink dress! If the colors are too much for you, you can also fall for a floral print, the flagship print of the bohemian style.
Above all, do not forget the accessories that sublimate the bohemian dress with great elegance. Nothing is enough:a scarf in the hair, braided sandals, multi-row bracelets or a discreet wicker or straw bag.
In terms of cut, the bohemian dress can take the form of a pleated midi dress as well as a short skater dress. Pay attention to the details to find the perfect bohemian dress. A maxi petticoat, delicate buttoning at chest level, a midi cut with gathered shoulders….
With a very different style from the 50s, the eighties-style vintage dress is just as attractive. With the eighties, we are more on a trendy style. Unstructured shoulders for the dress with shoulder pads, dresses that do not go unnoticed with the lamé or sequined dress, oversized dresses, with balloon sleeves, in flashy or pastel colors! In short, a clever mix specific to the 80s that we love to mix with our current pieces for modern retro chic looks.
And you, what vintage dress are you going for this season?
