Vintage Fever Still Hot – The Return of Retro Fashions

Vintage-clothing styles are not only alluring; they also flatter women’s figures, which is why they are still so popular today. Garments from the 1940s, 50s, and 60s were extremely well designed, so it’s no wonder that they are being mimicked in modern fashion ensembles. Some of the most stylish clothing items being worn down current fashion-show runways follow the design-lines of those earlier decades. This is true for skirts, dresses, jackets, sweaters, and many of the accessories from those earlier time periods.

Not only are yesteryear’s styles well designed and attractive to look at as garments, they have the ability to make wearers’ figures appear more hourglass and attractively proportioned, as well. Some designers’ tricks-of-the-trade appears to sculpt garment wearers’ dimensions. For example, styling details can seem to trim inches from waistlines, make shoulders appear more prominent, emphasize hip angles, and show off pairs of shapely legs. No wonder so many top designers are creating modern versions of these fashionable clothes.

In addition to wearing flattering retro-inspired wardrobes, accessories can pull outfits together with finesse. Are you drawn to the go-go boots and mini skirts of the 60s or do you prefer the peplum skirts and tailored jackets of the 1940s? On today’s fashion runways, you’ll find some of each and plenty more beautiful pieces to satisfy your vintage fever.
