What is Vintage?

Vintage clothing has always changed its meaning from generation to generation. It is basically a style option which takes more away from clothing which would have been popular during previous generations. For instance, somebody wearing clothes which are similar to what would have been worn during the 70’s or 80’s, would be considered to be wearing vintage clothes.

To confuse things however, you have both retro and vintage clothing styles. The difference is basically one of age, with clothes described as vintage generally being described as older than retro. Some argue that in order for a article of clothing to truly be vintage they have to be at least 50 years old. If this is the case then everything after the mid 60’s would be considered retro, although in reality there is a lot of overlap between the two terms.
