A beginners guide to vintage

4.Get to know your relatives

Yes, really. Your mum, auntie and granny will all have plenty of clothes from when they were younger, and scarily enough a lot of the past styles are all back in fashion now. True vintage finds will last a lifetime, never age and more importantly will be yours to update and wear however you choose.

5. Champion your style icons

Carrie Bradshaw, Blair Waldorf and Rebecca Bloomwood all know the advantages of vintage dressing, so why not sample some of their savvy style? Carrie’s quirky wardrobe samples all manner of things vintage mixed with designer, while Blair’s closet is mainly made up of classically vintage pieces, inspired by the gorgeous Audrey Hepburn.

Becky Bloomwood on the other hand is all about bold, bright and on-trend vintage, but whichever lady you choose to champion you’ll definitely be on the right track to mastering vintage dressing with icons like these.

6. Mix it up

High-street and vintage go hand in hand, so next time you head for a night on the tiles, why not jazz up that off-the-rack dress with a vintage belt to instantly make you stand out from the crowd?
