How to Become a Vintage Girl

If you want to become a vintage girl, one of the first things you should do is learn how to dress like one. Though it's not as simple as putting on a pair of overalls or putting up your hair in a high bun, there are some basic guidelines that can help you get started. When I first started dressing like this back in college, it was hard because I had no idea what kind of clothes looked good together or how to make them work with my body type. But now that I've learned all about it (and gained some confidence), I can tell you exactly what works best for me and give you tips on how to look like a vintage girl yourself!

Start with the shoes

One of the most important things about being a vintage girl is that you can’t just wear anything. You have to start with the shoes. A pair of shoes is the foundation of a vintage look and it will set your entire outfit off on the right foot.

Avoid heels, but you can wear them if you are comfortable
Use a variety of colors and textures

Add some tights or knee socks

Tights or knee socks can be added to your outfit. Tights are more formal and should be in a color that is darker than your dress/skirt so it will not look washed out. Knee socks are more casual and should be in a neutral color such as black, white, or gray.

Grab a blouse and button it up to your neck

Next, grab a blouse and button it up to your neck. A vintage girl is always chic and sophisticated. She knows how to dress herself properly with the right accessories and clothes that fit her body type. The best way to achieve this look is by wearing an old-fashioned button down shirt (also known as “blouse”) that can be easily paired with any outfit in your closet, from jeans to skirts or pants.

A good rule of thumb when choosing which blouse to wear, is that if you see someone wearing it in a photo taken in the 40s, 50s or 60s then do not hesitate. You just found yourself the perfect blouse! In fact, there are many different types of vintage blouses that you could get: collared ones with ruffles around their edges; ones made from silk fabric instead of cotton are also very popular among fashionistas who love looking both feminine yet edgy at the same time (think Audrey Hepburn).

If none of these options sound appealing enough for you then don't worry because there are still other ways out there where

Add a skirt that goes below your knees and is pleated or flared

The skirt should be knee length or below and made of cotton, polyester or a blend of both. It should be flared or pleated.

If you're wearing a skirt with a high waistband, make sure it's not too tight. You don't want to be uncomfortable walking around in your new vintage ensemble! The best skirts are ones that match the rest of your outfit and make sense for the occasion (for example: if you're going to work at an office job where everyone is wearing dresses and skirts with pantyhoses then it's best not to wear something like jeans).

The key is comfortability—you want something easy enough for movement so that when dancing comes into play later on during this event there won't be any problems with getting tangled up in things while having fun on the dance floor!

Pick out a jacket or sweater to layer over your blouse

You're going to need a jacket or sweater to layer over your blouse. You can wear a cardigan, blazer, sweater or vest to keep that vintage look going. A bolero is another great way to add some extra flair and femininity to your outfit without giving up on the vintage feel.

Accessorize -- but not too much

When it comes to accessorizing, try a necklace or scarf. Keep in mind that you don't want to overdo it; accessorizing should complement your outfit and not overwhelm it. If you don't have many accessories, don't worry about it! Your vintage look will still be apparent even if you stick with just one accessory of choice: the perfect hat or vintage-style purse might suffice in many cases!

While vintage clothing may be an investment, it can be a worthwhile one if it makes you feel like yourself. Vintage girls know that fashion is about expressing yourself in a way that feels authentic and genuine to your personality. So whether you’re looking for a new style or just want to add some flair to your wardrobe, try out some of these tips!
