Vintage Tee Shirts: How to Wear Vintage Style Tee Shirts
Custom Search
Vintage tee shirts are a great statement piece – they're cute, fun and show that you spent the time sifting through the racks at your local charity shop to find the perfect, well-worn T-shirt. For tips and tricks on where to find the best vintage shirts and how to wear them with style, keep reading.
Find a Great Shirt
The first key to wearing vintage tee shirts with style is finding the perfect tee. You're not going to find it amidst the racks of fake-vintage shirts sold at the Gap or American Eagle – that's too easy and far too contrived. Your best bet is with a vintage retailer.
Most vintage stores either sift through shipments of used clothing or the racks of charity and other second-hand shops to find the best and the brightest selections. It's like a shopping filter that weeds out the bad stuff for you.
If you can't afford to spend $15 on a vintage tee at a vintage clothing store, you'll have to search for yourself. Hit the charity and secondhand shops and get ready to hunt for that perfectly soft and totally comfortable $2 T-shirt. Just remember to wash it before you wear it.
Accessorize
While a simple T-shirt can be great for the weekends, you can take a vintage T-shirt from comfy to sexy just by adding a few accessories. A basic tee paired with a cute necklace and a daring belt not only steps it up a notch, but it adds to your overall look. Another cute accessories trend you can try is pairing your vintage tees with vintage brooches.
Great Jeans
For a look that's funky, yet still clean – you have to pair your vintage T-shirts with a great pair of pants. Wearing an old, somewhat ragged shirt with a pair of equally old and ragged jeans just says sloppy. But, match it with your hottest, dark blue jeans and you're styling.
Stay Away From Funny Sayings
A T-shirt with a funny saying is funny once. An ironic T-shirt is maybe funny twice. So, avoid shirts with embarrassing or “funny” sayings. Instead, opt for old school shirts, plain T-shirts, cute shirts that display the year the shirt was made, sport shirts and other designs that say “vintage,” but not “over the top.”
Vintage tee shirts are one of those wardrobe items that can either be so wrong or so right. Stay on the right side of things by avoiding funny sayings, wearing great jeans, remembering to accessorize and always shopping in the right places.
