Vintage sunglasses, woven bags, vintage scarf, strappy sandals, sun hat, straw hat and such can be great to make your summer looks vintage inspired. Like Emilee, go for earthy shades of brown, camel, rust, and nude to make your looks vintage inspired even more, as flashy colors and neon shades look trendy and modern enough.

Resort to white summer dresses that will add some vintage touch to your looks.

If you don’t have vintage items yet, resort to white summer dresses like lace, crochet, or eyelet that you might already have in your closet. White dresses are breezy and chic that might easily evoke a vintage feel over other dresses. However, skip those sexy and revealing styles as vintage fashion is known for its feminine yet modest look. Knee-length dresses, fit-and-flare dresses, tea dresses, A-line dresses and such can be great to make your summer style vintage inspired.

You could never go wrong with vintage patterns and prints.

Gingham checks, plaids, and retro floral patterns are some of the vintage prints you may go for to spice up your summer style. Like Emilee, complete your bohemian-chic statement with a retro floral print romper teamed with gladiator sandals that look trendy and carefree.

Embrace vintage structures and silhouettes.

Modest and feminine, vintage structures and silhouettes are timeless and discreet compared to the modern style of clothes in revealing necklines, shorter hemlines, form-fitting silhouette, and sheer fabrics. Like Emilee, you may opt for a retro floral dress that looks classy with pearl chokers and vintage sunglasses. However, be mindful of the fitting of vintage items, especially those drop-waist dresses and puff sleeved blouses that are not universally flattering.

Add some vintage flair to your work outfits.

If you’re working in a creative workplace, dresses and feminine skirts may be acceptable on your office dress codes. Drop-waist dresses, peasant dresses, and puff sleeved dresses are some of the vintage silhouettes you may go for. Since vintage items, especially dresses, tops, and skirts are usually modest and feminine, they’re a lot safer to wear to work compared to modern items like crop tops, fitted tank tops and such. Indeed, vintage fashion is one of the breezy looks you may go for to look fashionable this summer.
