3 Tips to Bag the Perfect Retro Clothing!

Design

Let’s all just agree that vintage clothing is overwhelmingly pretty! So setting a few ground rules for yourself when shopping can be pretty tough. For starters, consider the garment design. Look for something that flatters you and makes you double look at the mirror when wearing it! So having an idea of what best suits your body can help you avoid picking out the pieces that you think are awesome just because of the style, print, or colour.

One important rule when shopping vintage is to check the pieces closely and not be blinded by the cool style. It should be wearable for you, which means you should have the heart to pass on some incredible things occasionally.

You can evaluate the quality by taking a look at the fabric and seams. If you notice tears or splits, think about whether you can easily repair them without damaging the cloth too much. Then, check closures and see if they work. And lastly, beware of the discoloured patches!
