Technology seems to be
moving at a much different pace than fashion – your iPhone 5 will
be outdated once a newer model comes along, perhaps this year or the
next. However, in the world of clothing and style, people are opting
more and more for vintage and classic looks. The trusty fur coat for
one, never seems to go out of style.
What is it that attracts
people to clothes from another era? In earlier decades, clothes were
often sewn by hand, giving them a superior quality to the
mass-manufactured t-shirts and jeans displayed in department stores
today.
Moreover, since production
was limited, clothes were either custom-tailored or made in small
batches, making vintage clothing very rare and distinctive nowadays
(and therefore a favorite for red-carpet events—imagine if two
celebrities wore the same gown). Aside from this, vintage clothing
also impart a sense of history; they’re a part of someone’s life
being handed down to you.
Of course, not all vintage
purchases have to be million-dollar splurges. If you’ve always
wanted to own a classic fur coat, why not purchase pre-owned fur
coats instead? With proper care and regular maintenance, even coats
more than 20 years old can still look as good as new—and they won’t
cost you a fortune.
