Looking great isn’t about following the latest trends. It’s about embracing your unique style, and sometimes, that means reaching back in time. Many women understand this and proudly wear clothes that were in fashion long before they were born. The beauty of vintage clothing is that it carries history and personality, making it not just cool, but unforgettable.

“I haven’t got the chance to work out in a while, so I decided to do it today — and dress in an ‘80s-style workout outfit while I did it. I made sure to style my hair into a big ‘80s hairdo, and put on some leg warmers and a fanny pack.”

“And yes, I am wearing makeup. It might be hard to believe nowadays, but it was common in the ‘80s for women to wear makeup while exercising. Even female Olympic athletes, like Florence Griffith Joyner, wore makeup while competing in events.”

“These insane 1970s wooden cut-out platforms. They are so good, but also the plastic cuts into my feet a bit, so I can only wear them for a short amount of time.”

“When my mom was a teenage in the 70s, she desperately wanted a blue jean jacket. But her family couldn’t afford one.”

“So my grandma saved up the family’s torn jeans and sewed this for my mom as a surprise. She even took the Levi tag off a pair and put it on the pocket just like the real jackets.”

“Had several meetings today, decided to dress a little extra. Wearing a 50s handmade black linen wiggle dress and 50s gloves.”

“For the longest time I’ve been searching for the perfect 1940s or 30s red dress, and I finally found the one. And I couldn’t have even dreamed that it would have a dagger collar or big pocket but I got super lucky.”

“I look a bit awkward in this photo, but everything I’m wearing is my late grandma’s.”

“Found this very Marilyn dress and these other 2 cuties yesterday! I have no upcoming events to wear these at though.”

“So I was in the charity shop over the road this morning when I overheard the following conversation from the staff ‘look at this awful dress. Who on earth would wear something like that!’”

“This was me ten minutes later. The proud owner of an original 1980s party dress!”

“I purchased the most stunning 1960s bathing suit for an upcoming trip. I’ve been struggling to find a bathing suit that compliments my changing body, but I’ve finally found a perfect fit in this vintage bathing suit.”

  • Take care. Depending on how it’s been stored, there can be some degradation of the fibers and elasticity. Wearing it to the pool may not be a great idea. © Imagirl48 / Reddit

“One of my favorite vintage inspired outfits.”

“Hit the thrift jackpot and scored a ton of ’60s and ’70s dresses and this is the first one I’ve worn so far!”

“Accidentally bought a children’s dress at a thrift store because it was in the women’s section. I ripped out some seams and inserted bust darts, and now it fits way better.”

“You wouldn’t believe the scream I let out when I realized this 60s ‘dress’ was actually a JUMPSUIT! And it has pockets!”

“Found this 1930s deadstock smock first and then months later found the matching trousers!”

“Went on a date with my husband and went to the movies for the first time in 4 years! I was totally feeling myself.”

Some people are brave enough to completely change their style, and they never look back with regret. Others take the risk of wearing bold outfits, and they end up impressing everyone around them. Their confidence shines through, making them stand out and be admired.
