Retro fashion has always become the way of style no matter what era or generation you were raised. Retro fashion is also known as vintage fashion as well. So what constitutes vintage or retro fashion? Usually, it’s clothing or accessories that are at least 2 generations in the past, sometimes it doesn’t always have to be that many generations away, but you get the main idea.

Some of the different things that are used with retro or vintage attire are different types of blouses. In the fashion world, it may also be looked at as bohemian fashion. Both fashions are almost one and the same when it comes to the retro look. This is something that is easy to put together and work with. First you want to start with the tops, usually, a peasant blouse or a maxi skirt will give that vintage retro look. Most retro blouses were made with the polyester material, however, with the modern-day retro look you can do away with polyester and opt for a more comfortable cotton material. Others will think of bell bottoms and tight long sleeve shirts with the collar up and the first few buttons left open. This is a fashion don’t. A sailor top with stripes and a pair of denim capris with loafers is the perfect 50’s and 60’s look.

You can even add a scarf and aviator sunglasses, keeping the jewelry very simple. Bonnets are a perfect retro accessory giving you that 20’s and 30’s aura. You can pick up most items from a consignment shop which holds a lot of retro and vintage attire for your choosing.
