Ordinary Mutant

Not everyone's comfortable wearing something someone else have worn before. So if you're not comfortable wearing used clothes you can always buy garments and accessories with vintage-inspired details instead of the real thing.

Keep in mind that most of today's fashion is somehow inspired by the past -- so you can easily find new clothes that look vintagey.

Now let's take a look at accessories and details that will instantly add a vintage-effect to your outfit!

Trinkets and Lockets

Attach these charming beads to a 18 inches or longer necklace chain and wear it with any casual outfit.

Distressed Leather

Distressed leather jackets, bags, boots and bracelets, anything that looks used, give a cool touch.

Scarves

Borrow your grandma's floral scarf! Other vintage patterns are paisley, ethnic embroidery, polka dots.

High waist

It's chic, sexy and retro. It'll define your waist. Choose between high waist jeans, pencil skirt, shorts or pants, and tuck in a cute top!

Flared pants

These 70's style type of pants will definitely flatter a curvacious shape. Balance the look by tucking in a fitted top or blouse!

Hats

Put some zest in your outfit with a vintage hat. For example, add a cool contrast by wearing a fedora hat with a boho dress or with jeans and a white dress shirt. Other popular vintage hats are newsboy/bakerboy and ivy which are suited for fall/winter outfits.
