A fashionable wardrobe isn't built in a day. The first step to an eclectic look that's distinctly you can be found by looking to previous decades for inspiration. Whether it's a prim and proper circle dress, a mod sheath, diaphanous gowns, or the avant garde oversized look, Etsy Vintage has all of the trends of yore to build your current wardrobe. Here are some fashionable favorites from the 1950s through the 1980s, with popular styles represented from each decade. Check out the Vintage Fashion style guide for more trendsetting accessories and clothing.
1950s Style: Prim and Playful
This was the era of white gloves, circle skirts and feminine detail. Infuse your wardrobe with some brocade and lace!
1960s Fashion: Fitted and Modern
The '60s were a time of change, and the fashion reflected it: slim silhouettes, bold patterns and a modern vision of fashion that still rings true.
1970s Fashion: Casual and Earthy
Strap on your platform sandals and grab your floppy hat! The 1970s were a casual affair: perfect for a modern day picnic.
1980s Fashion: Oversized and Avant Garde
Ah, the '80s: the bright colors, unorthodox shapes (batwing sleeves and shoulder pads!) and over-the-top aesthetic just keeps coming back!
These are but a few styles of each decade. Make sure to check out the Vintage Category for more representations of fashion history!
