90 Fall/Winter Fashion Ideas for a Perfect Combination of Vintage and Modern

Vintage stuff always has its own magic. We generally perceive the adjective vintage or vintage-looking as pointing out to something charming. It is a word of French origin, vendange; it initially used to describe old wine and literally means the annual grape harvest. So, when it comes to fashion, a simple question poses itself: how to apply the vibes of an old bottle of wine into your modern wardrobe?

So, let us invite a hint or accents of vintage style dresses to our normal, daily outfits. These accents guarantee that they will stay normal no more. Therefore, Pouted online lifestyle magazine carefully selected the following outfit ideas and designs that resemble creative blends of vintage and modern looking pieces. Our list is inspired by fashion shows of fall/winter, and the trends that showed up there.

1 Ruffles

Ruffles are among the first things that come to mind whenever the vintage look is mentioned. Actually, ruffles are versatile; they are capable of creating different styles according to the way they are employed. A lot of ruffles give a boho look that could blend well with a vintage-cut dress. Another method is to apply ruffled collars, shoulders, and sleeves to a simple maxi dress, or minimal piece of clothing. One more technique is to combine ruffles with leather.

2 Wine red

Dark reds transmit vintage vibes, especially when combined with dark browns, oranges, and earthy colors. For example, see this dress of Altuzarra where vintage aspects like the colors, one-shoulder cut, and layers meet modern elements like the midi length, light chiffon material, and minimal belt. The asymmetrical ruffles are also a mix of old and modern vibes.
