Top Four Ways to Amp Up Your Vintage Look

Top Four Ways to Amp Up Your Vintage Look

You’ve got your vintage outfit, but somethings missing… 

Accessories such as hats, socks and jewellery can make all the difference to your overall look. With these four additions to your style, your look will go from ehhh to wow. Whether you’re heading to a party or just meandering around on the weekend, a vintage clothing store Melbourne wide, like Official Vintage has the start of your look covered and this list completes it!  

Jewellery 

Classically beautiful, gold jewellery might have looked a bit drab but now it's making a comeback with statement vintage pieces that complete your look. Opt for large pendants for a bold look or delicate chains for a real LA-girl vibe. 

Silver is always in style and vintage does it well. Making waves this year are paperclip-esq style pieces. These are everywhere and can be seen in the form of chains and earrings. For a proper grunge style, layer your silver necklaces or add a skater-style wallet chain to your bottoms for a real statement look.  

Back in style, beaded pieces were all the rage in 2021 and continue to impress in 2022. These pieces are often vintage or retro from the Y2K era and can be found in almost any op shop or vintage market. Cute and cheap, beaded pieces are the ideal way to top off your look.

Hats 

Nothing complements a look like a hat and buckets haven't left our repertoire for a few years now. Ideal to complete literally any outfit, a bucket finishes off your outfit with a steezy style. 

Top off any look with a vintage cap. Available in a range of styles and colours, a cap is one accessory you don’t want to be without. Protecting you from that harsh Aussie sun during festivals and events, a cap is not only cool, it’s practical.  

Makeup

If you watch Euphoria, you know a makeup look can drastically enhance your whole style. Whether you opt for some kohl eyeliner in the insides of your eyes for a grunge look or go for some glitter under your eyes to glimmer when you smile, makeup is a fun way to amp up your style and it’s not just for girls! Draw on some little love hearts, a cross or anything you like - with makeup in 2022, anything goes! 

Socks or Stockings

Finish off your look with a pair of bold socks. Whether you’re opting for a skate-look with ankle-length socks and long shorts or wearing thigh-highs with a mini skirt, a pair of socks can make all the difference.

Patterned stockings are the ideal way to add a grunge element to your look. Can't find any you like? Buy some plain ones and rip them up! This is a real statement look and pairs perfect with an oversized vintage tee
