How to Rock a Vintage Look This Winter

How to Rock a Vintage Look This Winter

by La Petite Pinup

With the cold spells snapping at our heels as winter fast approaches, it can sometimes feel like achieving a vintage look is a bit of a challenge, but with our handy guide, you’ll be in style this season!

Layer up!
Always layer your clothes for maximum warmth. So don’t shy away from that 50s dress you love but feel you can’t wear because it’s too cold! A knitted cardigan over a dress is the classic look, but also consider other methods of layering too. Pop a long sleeved blouse or thin jumper underneath your dress for additional layers. I also really like wearing a gathered skirt over a pencil or swing dress, especially if I love the top half of a dress but want a fuller or less formal skirt, or to add more details to the bottom if it’s a block colour. It also keeps you extra warm too when you double up!

Be bright!

This gorgeous little combo screams Autumn with a fabulous check in bright
orange, red and yellow. Picking out the red tones from the Alexa Autumn
Leaves skirt
, team it with the Jorgie polo top with its sweet buttoned peter pan collar, the Tisha belt to accentuate the waist and a Maddy petticoat to add extra swish with every step you take. The Kiria necklace and Evie Ascot scarf add interest with little accent pops of mustard to match the check. Finish off this outfit with the Korrina trench coat, which can easily fit a petticoat underneath its full swing skirt, and the ruched faux leather gloves to keep your hands toasty on a crisp morning.

Two Tone-tastic!

Wearing tonal shades of the same colour always works really well, especially when it’s an autumnal shade like a deep forest green. The Mara Garden Stripes swing design features two green accent colours, long sleeves perfect for cold days and pockets for those of us that like to plunge our hands into our dresses. Wear the Cara green cardigan over the dress to keep you warm and cosy with it’s soft and fuzzy feel, as well as the stunning Annasofia coat which features a gorgeous green velvet tie at the back. The Doris croc bag makes for a great daytime stowaway for your phone and purse, and has a fabulous faux croc texture. Complete this outfit with the Gertrude high heels and Lauren beret for a practical but cute look as you sashay around the shops.
