Best vintage clothing shops for men and women: The best online shops for retro clothing in the UK and beyond - Evening Standard |
Posted: 07 Jun 2019 12:00 AM PDT The Internet has forever changed the way we shop. These days it's easier than ever to find one-off fashion pieces to add personality and style to our wardrobes. While there's no end of current and future-forward shops online, vintage and retro fashion shops are turning to the web to revive iconic styles and expose their brand to a much larger audience. Where before you may have had to paw through dusty rails of clothes in huge warehouses set in awkward real world locations, now finding that 50s skirt or 80s shell suit is just a click away. Vintage fashion is the term used for all old clothing, but there are further definitions depending on how far back you're looking. Anything more than a century old can be described as antique, while something that's at least 20 years old can be referred to as vintage or retro. New clothes with a historical reference are imitations or reproductions rather than the original article. With 80s and 90s looks now trends that are here to stay for the foreseeable, it's never been a better time to shop online for old school cool.
