You could start by buying her a few vintage accessories (think bags, jewellery, maybe vintage inspired underwear). Or buy her vintage versions of stuff that is 'on trend' right now on the high street: 40s tea dresses, 50s Grace Kelly style or - if you can bear it- 80s stuff. You could also buy her a vintage hair styling make-over as a present so to gently introduce her to eye liner and lip stick. Same tactics?

I hear a lot of retro gals *wish* their guy would get with the passion, but truth be told, they probably picked him because he's more of a man if he's a conventional "lad." If he got into it, great, but if he already WAS into it she probably would have found him less desirable.
