Vintage fashion is everywhere in society. Wherever you look, from glossy magazines to your neighbours down the street, you will probably see one person - if not many - wearing this type of clothing. It's almost unavoidable! In an age where newer is always better, fashion wannabes still try to make themselves stand out by choosing to wear blatantly outdated apparel. Mind boggling, indeed, how people always try to be weird for the sake of not blending in. But no one gets tired of trying out wearing old - while, at the same time - feeling new. Compare the excitement of going to malls, splurging excessive amounts, and going home with just a few shopping bags in hand, while feeling the thrill of anxiety upon visiting a-not-so-pleasant vintage store and ending up spending a few and gaining a lot. The downside is vintage clothing doesn't necessarily mean cheap dirty. Perhaps one would name it a little rusty in form but classical in nature. Because some pieces are just so sentimental for the previous owners that they would sell it at a higher cost. Nowadays, retailers sprout not just all over your area but on the web. Indeed, it's never too difficult to notice that older styles have made monumental comebacks annually. The wave of vintage-wearers proves how fashion is different to technology and transportation; that is to say, where the newer isn't necessarily the most qualified. While not everyone is an avid fan of vintage clothing, everyone might not appreciate this but it's more sensible to understand these transpired due to the inspirations behind these. Considering the historical implications that any outfit holds, vintage clothing should never be confused with anything related to sloppy and trashy fashion. It's no coincidence that vintage style developed during 1920's and grunge occurred in 1990's. As what most say, most grunge-wearers can at least remember anything that happened in 1990's while most vintage-wearers didn't live through the 1920's. One is commemorating childhood years while one is celebrating historical pride. In a present American context, the period can never be interpreted as overrated and irrelevant, but rather, it will always be remembered as the commencement of a contemporary society where women during that era gained liberty to fashion. Indeed a revolutionary decade for women, bold women were then starting to wear whatever they want to. As fashion trends come and go as quick as they can, vintage store owners aren't anymore worried that the styles of the past will fall out of favor.
