Vintage Clothing

Vintage clothing is clothing that originates from a previous era. The term vintage clothing can also be applied in reference to second-hand retail outlets, e. g.

in "vintage clothing store".
While the concept originated during World War I as a response to textile shortages, vintage dressing encompasses choosing accessories, mixing vintage garments with new, as well as creating an ensemble of various styles and periods.
Vintage clothes typically sell at low prices for high-end name brands.
