How to Have a Vintage Style?

When a style of clothing and accessories becomes a trend in the fashion world, everyone tries to follow it to have a style similar to fashion and accepted in society, but should we always follow trends? In the following, we will introduce you to vintage-style items.

Choose According to the Style You Like

Different styles of clothes and accessories are trending in the fashion industry every time, but do you like all these styles? Are all these trending clothes compatible with your style and body shape?

At Cyruscraft's website, we advise you to prioritize yourself when buying women's clothes and accessories to feel better. Therefore, to choose vintage items, consider the body shape and choose based on personal taste.

You always feel better when you choose clothes or accessories based on your taste or lifestyle. Choosing clothes based on the day's trend is like receiving a gift that does not suit your taste and will only remain unused in your wardrobe.

To find vintage style clothing that suits your taste, research styles from different eras and choose items you like. Each decade has unique clothes; you can mix and match items from different decades.

Consider Classic Vintage Items

In every era of fashion history, classic clothes have always been on trend, so look for classic styles because they stay in style after years.

For example, leather coats for men and women are always on trend. If you maintain a leather coat properly, it can be used for years. In addition, natural leather is durable and becomes more beautiful with time.

Also, winter accessories such as a woven neck scarf, woven with thread, natural leather shoes, bags, classic suits, etc., are always in trend.

Use Vintage Accessories with Modern Clothes

Vintage jewelry and accessories are always on trend and easily match most modern styles. For example, You can pair turquoise stone earrings or handmade silver necklaces with modern clothes. Of course, the color of the jewelry should be in harmony with the clothes.

Also, to match the modern style, use a neckerchief, embroidered tie, vintage leather wallet, classic high heels, etc. Of course, you can also do the opposite: use modern accessories with old clothes. Do not limit yourself to specific times or colors in choosing these items, but always observe the harmony between colors and devices.

Do not Choose a Specific Country or Historical Period to Select Items 

Our cultural frameworks usually limit us, so get to know the vintage style clothing in different countries and use each according to your taste. In Iran, different clothes have become fashionable in historical periods. For example, in the past, Iranian women always used silk and patterned fabrics for their clothes or used Iranian hand-embroidered cotton shoes. Even in different cities in Iran, the clothing style is completely different.

For example, The women of Sistan and Baluchistan sew unique needlework dresses with silk thread, and the preparation of many of these dresses takes two or more months because each dress has a unique design and color, of which only one sample is made. Also, natural leather bags combined with hand-woven Iranian carpets are one of Iran's most famous vintage accessories.

 Choose Quality Vintage Clothes and Accessories 

Clothes or accessories in any style should be made with the best materials. So if you like a dress or accessory, pay attention to its material. The quality of clothing plays an essential role in its beauty and uniqueness. 

 Natural leather shoes, satin scarves, silk threads, silver jewelry, jewelry with unique stones, glasses with wooden frames, wooden bags, crepe fabrics, etc., are suitable for choosing clothes and accessories because they are very resistant and always trendy.

And finally, for a unique style, you should not always follow the trends of the day; sometimes you will have a stylish style by choosing unique items from different countries of the world, but always be careful in choosing these items and coordinating them so that you have the best style.
