Vintage clothing

Typically, ” vintage” refers to clothing that is 20 years or older, which means that styles from the ’90s are now considered vintage! Shop at thrift stores like Goodwill for fashionable finds from just about every decade, whether you’re looking for a ’60s retro print dress or an old-school ’80s-style blazer. You can often tell if a garment is vintage by its tag ““ look for labels that indicate the clothing is ” Union Made,” or vintage typography on the tag. Metal zippers are another tell-tale sign of vintage clothing. If the zipper’s teeth are metal instead of plastic, it’s likely that the garment is from the 1960s or earlier.
