Classic mid-century retro clothing spans from the 1940s to the 1970s, with feminine silhouettes and vibrant colors. It began with modest A-line dresses in the 1940s before moving to full skirts and wiggle dresses in the 1950s, the daring mini skirt of the 1960s, the boho hippie look of the 1970s, the flashy 80s, and the laid back 90s. Retro clothing is classic, comfortable and unique in an age of trendy sameness. Mix and match genuine vintage with modern inspired pieces for an affordable and wearable wardrobe. Or, mix up decades and bring back timeless vintage inspired clothing into your personal style.
