The secret to wearing vintage

 By Canadian Stylist Florence Sorgini

 

I’ve been a fan of vintage my entire life and truly get a thrill from finding that perfect unique piece.  The secret to styling vintage is to look like you’re not wearing vintage at all. I like looking for items that are beautifully made and reflective of current trends. The point to shopping vintage is to have that standout item that literally no one in the room or island has.

Once you have your new treasure, you’ll want to make sure to pair it back. Use quality wardrobe staples to make your vintage look current.

Find a unique pair of vintage trousers, pair it with a beautiful camisole.  Score a vintage denim jacket, pair it with a simple clean line dress. It's all about balancing the old with the new.

The biggest takeaway from shopping vintage is the impact it has on the environment. Goodbye fast fashion, hello vintage and small independent labels!
