What is Vintage Clothing

Some rough definitions: clothing produced before the 1920s is usually referred to as antique clothing and clothing productive from the 1920s to 1980 is considered vintage clothing. Retro, short for retrospective, usually refers to clothing that imitates the style of a previous era but wasn't actually produced in it.

Most vintage clothing has been previously worn, but a small percentage of pieces have not. These are often old warehouse, or shop stock. These items are usually referred to by dealers as "dead stock", "old stock" or "new-old stock" and can be more sought after and more valuable than those that have been worn, especially if they have their original tags.

Changing Trends and the Demand for Vintage Clothing

Although there has always been a steady demand for old and/or second hand clothing, demand and acceptance has increased dramatically since the 1990s.

The reasons for this may be

  • Increased visibility, as vintage clothing was increasingly worn by celebrities, e.g. Julia Roberts, Chloe Sevigny, Kate Moss, and Dita von Teese.
  • Increasing interest in environmental sustainability (reusing, recycling and repairing)
  • A resurgence of certain "vintage" groups

All these factors have played a part in the increase of interest in vintage clothes.

Why Buy Vintage Clothing?

Buying vintage clothing not only keeps your bank balance healthy, but the quality of the pieces can often rival brand new clothes. With the focus of modern stores being squarely on profit and quick turnaround to keep up with trends, clothes are often made to be worn a few times before being replaced. In stark contrast, vintage clothes have been made to last, and are indeed still in good condition after decades of wear. Buying vintage clothing not only keeps waste to a minimum, but also tackles hot topics such as ‘clothes miles’. Increasing numbers of consumers are becoming aware of the distance their clothes may have to travel across the world to get to stores, and how the carbon emissions produced from this may have implications for the environment.

Be Green - Buy Vintage Clothing

Most vintage clothing lovers have a certain something in their personality that draws them to wearing it. There are lots of reasons why vintage clothes are such a great choice, but the most fulfilling reason is that wearing vintage clothing is the most environmentally friendly way of dressing. Wearing vintage clothing is recycling! Every time you buy or wear vintage clothing instead of newly manufactured clothing you are recycling. That clothing is getting a second chance and being saved from the landfill every time you wear it.
