Blast to the Past With These 6 Vintage-Inspired Pieces
These days, you always hear about Y2K and '90s fashion, but there is so much to love in style trends pre-1980s. Thankfully, there are a few brands out there that are delivering vintage-inspired clothing in the modern era.
Below, discover a few pieces from brands you know already and hidden gems reigniting the magic of the '70s, '60s, '50s and beyond.
ModCloth Gathering Wild Flower Dress: On Sale for $55.30
We have nostalgia for the era of beautiful, posh dresses and didn't even live through it. While we can't turn the clock back, we can at least play pretend with dresses like these from ModCloth. This adorable item is perfect for spring, with little images of butterflies and pretty cakes.

GAP High Rise '70s Flare Jeans: On Sale for $55
Who needs those uncomfortable skinny jeans or oversized skater jeans we have in 2024? Instead, let's return to the era of '70s bottoms. These pants from GAP (and many others from the decade) will accentuate your shape with a high waist. They're not skinny but have a fantastic balance of legroom without appearing baggy.

Unique Vintage Retrolicious Black and White Check Cotton Skater Skirt: $62
Those skater skirts from the '50s were so cute and classy. Unique Vintage fabulously captures the essence of the style with this "retrolicious" plaid offering. It hits at the right part of your waist and offers the right amount of coverage, just ending above the knee.

Urban Outfitters Kimchi Blue Kittie Scalloped Mini Dress: $79
Babydoll dresses are such a dream. Just look at this one from Urban Outfitters. The scallop sleeves are so chic and adorable. The shorter hem gives it a youthful appearance, and don't even get us started on how much we love the gingham and cat print.

Steve Madden Cherish Pumps: $79.95
Say goodbye to the days of modern high heels. We don't need four, five and six-inch heels. We'd much prefer the comfort of a one or two-inch kitten pump, such as these shoes from Steve Madden. Besides not hurting the arches of our feet, they also add a stylish sleekness to any outfit, thanks to their patent leather.

Seafolly Australia Collective Boyleg One Piece Swimsuit: $178
We often avoid wearing bikinis. Sorry, we're not always comfortable showing that much skin! If you, like us, are hoping to find something modest but fashionable, consider a '50s-inspired one-piece, like this item from Seafolly. It can still flatter your body because of its ruched material and rounded silhouettes.
