This is for everyone who needs a little bit of inspiration and help to build up their wardrobe. All of these pieces are recommendations, if you're going for a 1950's or 1940's inspired look. Please don't feel forced to get all of these items. That's not a must. Just pick out the things you like. At the end your the one who has to feel comfortable and there are no rules in fashion. Best wishes with your Vintage Journey and thanks for watching, Shirin x
As I'm not very tall and also I've got some curves, I found out years ago, that vintage inspired clothes work wonders for me. I love pencil skirts, cardigans and cigarette trousers.
@Cadence G Hii I live in the Midlands, UK, and there are vintage shops dotted around which sell portions of clothes from online companies, including Top Vintage Boutique, Hell Bunny, Voodoo Vixen. :) I’ve got one from the first two, Lindy Bop, a liverpool-based soho shop, and Amazon. they’re slightly pricey I’ve found, £30-50. Use terms like swing/circle skirt and 50s tags. Top vintage boutique is the best I’ve ever seen in terms of quality topvintage.net/en/clothing/skirts/#main
Perhaps ask them to pin a belt for you at some bags/leathergoods shop; they can make as much holes in your belt as you wish. That's what I do, I usually go for free. :)
There are also "belt-hole-punching-tools" (sorry, I don't know the English word 🙈😅) available at craft stores with which you can make holes into your belt yourself 😊
I'm used to buy second hand items because I dont' want to support the fast fashion system, but yesterday I bought my very first vintage-inspired clothes after weeks of following you on yt and ig! this video comes at the perfect time!!
I’m in high school but I’ve started getting in a vintage kick after finding your instagram. I’m dressing more vintage esk right now because I really like the mixture between vintage and modern fashion trends. But I can never find pieces that give off a vintage ‘vibe.’ And now I know! In conclusion, thank you!
Samee, I adore that vintage-esque modern style and vintage, it's a really pretty balance, I'm slowly trying to develop a mixture of vintage into my modern clothes
@@Rena-iv3iv I'm 17 and in high school too. I wear vintage dresses as a streetwear and in certain occasions with pride, and I rarely get criticized for it, but I receive a lot of attention just as how I wear certain modern pieces.
I wear Oxford shoes with most of my vintage items !! Also, in the summer I wear cream colour espadrilles and I feel like I’m lounging in the French Riviera with Cary Grant :p
I think your comments to focus on neutrals are really key to wearing vintage clothing in a modern way. A lot of the time when dressing vintage with a lot of color/pattern I feel like it begins to look costume-y by modern standards.
You literally mentioned my two favorite ladies, Audrey and Marilyn, two minutes in❤️ Sorry I’m leaving so many comments. Your videos are just what I was looking for.
your pieces are beautiful. i think when it's difficult to find truly vintage pieces new ones that can be styled in a 50 or 60's way are perfect. it is not easy to find nice vintage clothing where I live. Thrift shops are terrible. Most pieces I have found are for winter so I am looking for spring items. Vintage clothing styles can be worn in a practical manner for daily wear. It is fun to bring classic fashion into our lives. I enjoy all of your videos and look forward to more.
I feel you! We don't even have trift shops in my country so I'm stuck with two small second hand shops in my city out of which only one has "vintage section" that amounts to two racks of vintage clothes. Add to that the fact most of those are either 70s or 80s and even when you DO find something you better pray it actually fits. I did find a beautyful 50s style cardigan on that one rack so maybe I shouldn't complain too much. We DO have a vintage-reproduction shop, but once again, it's small. And the sizes! But I'm aroud three months into my vintage journey and not stopping any time soon. I do have to say that actually finding a really good item feels SOO rewarding now. I feel like I'm on a treasure hunt!
elena nojkovic That’s another problem,size. We have an antiques store that specializes in vintage fashion. It is expensive, but once a year they have a half price sale. That is when I shop. Most things are too big. I go to a lot of estate sales. I can find scarves, gloves, accessories sometimes but the clothes never fit. I found a 50’s wool sweater last summer which surprised me. It truly is a hunt and building as you go.
This is my favorite video of yours yet. So informative and great for the vintage beginner. I know it must have taken a lot of hard work and time to make this video. Thank you!
I love you. I have probably been looking for this type of fashion inspiration since I was 12 or so. I’m 24 now. Thanks for this lovely content. Have a blessed day. I’m a new subscriber.
I love the cameo in your intro. I grew up a few doors down from an antique shop and I think that’s where my love of cameos (and vintage anything really) came from. I have two cameo brooches, 7 necklaces and I just recently found a pair of earrings. They’re the only jewelers I wear haha
Great topic, exactly what I've been thinking about lately! Thank you for including live demos and not taking a costume-y approach. I found this very practical!
thank you - i'm actually a fan of slash neck tops, but i didn't know the term for this type of neck line. i really like about it that you don't have to worry about showing to much skin when you lean over, grab something from the ground etc.
Who is the fool that keeps disliking one of your videos? (I sound like Mr. T from the 80s). This was a wonderful video. It was chalk-full of good information.
Wonderful video ! As someone who's been experimenting with vintage style for almost a year now, I would just add one accessory : suspenders! They are so beautiful either with a skirt or a pair of trousers, and they will instantly make your outfit look vintage :)
My favorite belt is a long black leather belt with a flower design all the way around that allows you to cinch it as tight or as loose as you want. It is great because I like to wear outfits from all different time periods wich means I sometimes wear my belt far above or far below my natural waist line. Instead of getting a smaller or larger belt to fit my outfits I can just use the one. It was a game changer for me.
Thanks for the video! You've made me realize that I already have like 70% of the items needed to dress vintage 😂😅 i guess I just never thought about putting certain items together haha
We are somewhat lucky here in Australia because a lot of the items that you have mentioned I was able to find at Dangerfield which is a Melbourne based vintage inspired clothing company. I try to build my wardrobe one item at a time :) Thank you for the video it has helped immensely to plan things out!
I’m a makeup artist and it’s my life’s mission to find everyone a red lipstick. Try a really nice red gloss- nyx butter glosses are nice and super cheap. Then maybe try a neutral red lipstick. Maybelline came out with a universally flattering lipstick line and the red looks nice on everyone. You can pat it on from the bullet and then blend it with your finger for a softer look. If you want to spend a little more, Chanel has the best neutral red on literally everyone- It’s their No. 5 lipstick crayon. Pirate 99 is also a classic red Chanel shade that looks beautiful on everyone, too. Hope this helps. Red lipstick is the best!
@@marletetessare Haha what a coincidence. I've been on the hunt for the perfect red, and I just ordered the mini Ruby Woo to see if it's the one. Fingers crossed I finally found my perfect red. (I have fair cool-toned skin and light freckles).
This is my 3rd video of yours ive watch recommended by RUclips. I wondered why and now I realise that a considerable amount of my wardrobe is vintage inspired.
Thank you for making the video its helpful and ill look for vintage similarities in my country its rare for a vintage shop to appear assides thrift shops since this is a modern enthusiast fashion era your styles previewed for each essensial is stunning :)
Thank you so much for all your inspiration. Shopping tomorrow 😁 My favorite shop restocked a pencil skirt I have in two other colours and the cachemire cardigan I had my eye on is on sale. Next big buy: slips, petticoat and two swing dresses from 1861. They carry vintage looking pieces.
Sales is a good moment to get a coat! I have recently purchased a Korrina trench coat just like yours, in burgundy. I'm thinking of using it also with pants...
I adore my black Mary Jane flats from ortho-feet. I have flat feet and very narrow heels and these shoes have adjustable heel straps to help keep my narrow heels from slipping out of my shoes.
Thank you so so much. I am just starting to get into vintage (soon to be addicted) and this video really helped me understand what I should look for in clothes. The perfect video to start out.
you know what? I never had a certain style I never find myself like in just one thing when I’m watching you it’s open my mind I’m a religious Jewish girl and I have many girlfriends looking for styling in the way of modesty .. covering the body parts.. I think you nailed it I’m gonna spread it all over
Hello my dear, I am problably much older as most of your followers,I am 59 years old and I love the way you make your videos and everything you present,you are is a joy tho watch.A styling question gives me no peace and perhaps you could help me : could an elderly person like me wear vintage style or it would make me look as I had sprung from a nostalgic movie or museum?I have a normal weight and an hourglass silloutte and I thinka that vintage clothes could give the older body more structure and therefore makes it more elegant.What is your opinion about it?Is ist strange when older people wear vintage, like a time traveller? It is not important to me looking younger but I do not want to look older either, just my age and put together.The 1940 and 1930 are my preferences.Sorry for making you to think about this when your followers are problably not having such questions, but as I said, the question has remained since some time in my head.If you want, feel free to write in german, I live in Bremen.Best greetings and much admiration.
Das ist schon vier Jahre her, aber ich möchte trotzdem kommentieren: Ich finde, du solltest anziehen, worin du dich wohl und schön fühlst, und wenn dir nach dem Vintage-Look ist, dann ja, tu es unbedingt! Ich würde eine solche Lady auf der Straße bewundern :-) Grüße aus Flensburg

Oh you know I'm looking at these links! I have lots of random pieces, not enough basics! I did it wrong lol
Thank you, shirin! Xxxx
How do you make your hips look like those vintage hips?
You look so gorgeous
As I'm not very tall and also I've got some curves, I found out years ago, that vintage inspired clothes work wonders for me. I love pencil skirts, cardigans and cigarette trousers.
Why does she say she is German on Instagram, she looks like she is from Middle Eastern, and her name Shirin is from Iran?
@@user-lv4ov5rp6dwhy do u care, what does it matter lol
Shirinatra: if you have one circle skirt you’re good to go
Me, looking at the nine in my wardrobe: 🤷🏻♀️
Haha 😂 I also have way more than one, too many to be honest 😄
Zoomer Brit I’m looking for a skirt, may I ask where you found them?

I always struggle with belts as well, why can’t they just produce belts with more holes?😩
Perhaps ask them to pin a belt for you at some bags/leathergoods shop; they can make as much holes in your belt as you wish. That's what I do, I usually go for free. :)

Same!! It was really good advice indeed!
I think it's fair to say that I own a ridiculous amount of vintage style cardigans but I still want more because they are so cute and versatile 😍
Love your style. Ageless and beautiful. I am in my 60's but still looks good on me too. I love the Oxford shoes too. Glad I found your channel.
I wasn't planning on going for 1950's or 1940's inspired look, but RUclips randombly recommended this video and now I DO WANT to do that!
Your dress trench coat and winter coat were EVERYTHING!! Lovely video!
You literally mentioned my two favorite ladies, Audrey and Marilyn, two minutes in❤️
Sorry I’m leaving so many comments. Your videos are just what I was looking for.

I am not into vintage fashion, but I loved this video! I think all those items are not that much vintage but classic and timeless...beautiful!
Yay! I love these two decades!❤❤

Love your videos and your style, so elegant and never look costumy. Your advice for neutral colours really helps that I think xx

This is so perfect. I was *just* looking for a video exactly like this! Thank you!
This is such a great vídeo, I love it! I'm trying to get lnside the vintage world and I think this is going to help me a lot, thank you, lovely girl!

Me too x
I never have looked good in it! If I ever wear a scarf round my neck, or red lipstick, I feel way too dressed up! Xx
Girls, this is probably because you are trying the wrong red for your skin, too blue or to orange. Try a pure red, instead, as Ruby Woo , MAC.
@@marletetessare Haha what a coincidence. I've been on the hunt for the perfect red, and I just ordered the mini Ruby Woo to see if it's the one. Fingers crossed I finally found my perfect red. (I have fair cool-toned skin and light freckles).
for wide legs pants and high waist try the men section in thrift stores ( the smaller size!) They fit me perfectly even better than the women's....
That's interesting! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Mega Klasse👍👍 super gemacht. Danke 👍👍
Perfect video, so useful and simple! Thank you very much!

Your style is amazing! I wish I could get away with wearing stuff like this 😍❤
This was a wonderful video! Fantastic job!
2:20 I have one I trifted with no knowledge of this. Is a beautiful greyish light brown that looks like my dog's color when she was a puppy.
Sales is a good moment to get a coat! I have recently purchased a Korrina trench coat just like yours, in burgundy. I'm thinking of using it also with pants...
I also got mine during the Sales actually! Oh yes, I'm sure it'll go very well with pants too 🙏🏻
