The Vintage Dress is Back in Force This Summer!

Formerly used to refer to old wines, the term vintage was used around the 90s to describe old clothes from the famous brand and renowned designer. As a result, the term vintage will not mean a dress from the season or the year before. Today the meaning of the term vintage has expanded to any used clothing from the 80s at most and having influenced in a few ways the history of fashion through their cutting technique, their material.

Where does this trend come from?

Wearing plus size vintage dresses came into view in the early 1990s when top models like Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss appeared at official events in vintage dresses. But this trend only boomed in 2001 after Julia Roberts appeared at the Oscar ceremony wearing a Valentino dress from 1992. Thus, it was adopted by all the stars be it Demi Moore, Winona Ryder, Nicole Kidman Sarah Paker or even Jennifer Lopez who posted herself wearing a 1967 Valentino belonging to Jackie Kennedy.

Tips for choosing the model that will suit you best

The choice of models is made according to your morphology and the "theme" of your outfit. In the first place, depending on your morphology you will have the choice between strapless dresses, the thin straps, the length that reaches the knees. Then, if you want trend that will never go out of style, look for the 50s polka dot dress. Very feminine, this model will offer you elegance. The vintage dress of the 60s, fitted at the waist and flared at the bottom is perfect if you have a small belly or generous thighs. But if you opt for a chic and romantic style the flowery dress or the lace dress will go perfectly.

In addition to its use in fashion, the vintage style is adopted in many areas such as music, photography, automotive etc.

In music, the term vintage is used to describe not only genres and styles of music but also the instruments that are used. Indeed, when we talk about vintage music we specifically designate a variant of rock'n'roll that combines a crystalline sound and at the same time very saturated. But in a broader sense, vintage music is the best musical "vintage" in a given style, language or period. Thus, the title '' In the navy '' interpreted by the Village People group can be considered as being vintage.

Musical instruments are called vintage when it comes to a famous original model. Among the electronic musical instruments are the major brands such as Fender or Gibson. Models like the Fender Stratocaster, marketed for the first time in 1954 or the first Gibson, like the famous Les Paul, appeared in 1952, are highly sought after collectors instruments.

In photography, we talk about vintage prints when a silver print is taken from the photographer's own time. The prints are usually signed.

Finally, in the automotive field, the term "vintage" is used to characterize bodies whose style takes the codes of the classic bodywork of the 1950s and 1960s with, at will, the addition of modern elements.

Part 2: How to Associate The Colors?

Bad color combinations: missteps to avoid

Some assemblies of colors close enough on the chromatic circle are of bad taste if they are associated in all over in the look:

Green and blue

Brown and black

Red and pink

Navy blue and black

Plum and purple

Lavender and Parma

Black and brown

Black and navy

That said, in truth, there is really no censorship to be made: if these associations are well worked, they can live together. A good mix will always be a winning combo. He just asks to work his look a little more than the basics.

Color associations that work

In contrast to so-called "at risk" colors, there are certain winning combinations. Their main secret: to associate a bright color - primary color - with a neutral tone.

Light brown :

Pair with pale yellow for a fall look, but also with blue, red and green

Electric blue :

Combine with gold and other silver tones to awaken the silhouette, but also with beige / light brown and gray

Orange:

To be paired with seventies brown, but also dark green and gray

Navy blue :

To be combined with red for the essential marinière, but also with yellow, orange and green

Violet:

To be associated with light yellow, its complementary color, but also with gray, turquoise green/green of the water

Dark brown :

To pair with bright yellow to pimp his autumn outfits, but also with apple green and sky blue

Yellow lemon :

To associate with dark red for a spring of character, but also with blue or brown

Turquoise:

To be paired with fuchsia pink to electrify its silhouette, but also with cherry red or brown / cream/beige

Dark red :

To be paired with navy-style blue, but also with light yellow and gray, as proudly sports Taylor Swift with a high-waisted maxi skirt and light gray sweater.

Little more to help you match your outfits

Printed matter

Renowned for being hard to match, patterns and prints just require a little more attention. The singer Stromae is a fine example of the craze of this style. Karlie Kloss was able to experience it during the Dita Von Teese show in September 2015.

The accessories

When we are not yet sure of its ability to manage colors, we can first bet on accessories, especially shoes, but also sunglasses, jewelry, scarf, belt, purse, and even sticky (still should you choose your tights ).

But beware of easy associations type scarf + shoe + handbag + red belt for example. You could kill the color. On the contrary, we would rather see colors that complement each other or some that fade to make room for others trench, history to boost the overall look rather than smooth with assemblies too expected. Heidi Klum has grasped the idea, with its dark look enhanced by a bright green bag.

These leads and methods are not unchangeable. Now, now that the basics of color associations are reviewed, you have to experiment! The only rule to remember: to have fun. No censorship, there is always a solution. Even with screaming mixtures: we can try anything! Rihanna is the proof.

The ultimate recommendation: stay simple but yourself. Basically, everything is done according to its morphology, its style and its degree of self-confidence. 

Part 1: How to Associate The Colors?

When you go to the cash register or in front of the cupboard in the morning, you often wonder "How to match the colors of my clothes?" Beyond the cut, getting well dressed also means choosing the right colors for a harmonious silhouette. And find this good assembly is a balancing act to not look like a clown ... Nothing like a little makeover by the colors! To do this, here are some basic rules to know how to give your outfits in style.

It is often said that neutral colors are a safe bet and that we must stick to when we do not want to take too much risk. This is why we sometimes find "clones of style" in the street, dressed in black, gray and other dark colors without great flavor.

They are timeless and easy to match, but other more present colors make live dressings and silhouettes! It just takes a bit of stylistic research and practice to coordinate the right tones without getting your head. Here are some style tips and basics to help you find your bearings.

The basic rules of the color association

No, white and black are not colors, but "values". Not very present in the natural environment in this state, they are quite easy to associate. That's why it's often said that they go with almost everything.

This being so, in general, we prefer the dark colors for the bottom and the brighter or more flashy for the upper body, to illuminate the face. Nothing like to have a good-looking complexion!

Maximum three colors

Except for a role in the theater of the Sun, it is better to be limited to three colors on the whole of your outfit, not more. At the risk of doing a little rough and unbalance the silhouette.

Novices can start by having two colors matched. The safest way to succeed in a beautiful, colorful wedding is to leave in a fairly neutral tone and to associate a more present color touch.

Some techniques to associate the colors without being wrong

The secret to a beautiful silhouette is to succeed in creating harmonies of colors. To do this, two great techniques play with the colors. The balance is achieved by neutralizing the colors. But you still have to really know them ...    

Color contrasts

Process :

Match opposite colors of the color circle to find complementary colors.

In principle, we will stick to two colors on all of her outfit for the contrast works well. For example, red and green, orange and blue, or yellow and purple. We will put the lightest shade where we want to accentuate the look, and conversely a darker tone on an area we prefer to erase.

Result:

The bright colors, dear to Jean-Charles, give dynamism to the silhouette. But do not forget that these grinds tend to break the silhouette. To avoid when one is small. Unless you wear high-heeled Socofy shoes.

The shades

Process :

How to know how to make a monochrome of colors? Difficult to master the exercise the first time. It involves combining very similar colors, such as tomato red and orange or duck green and water green, to obtain a harmonious color gradient.

Result:

We stretch the silhouette since there is continuity. The risk of this technique, if it is poorly managed, is to try to get closer to a color and to fall by the side. Stella Mccartney understood this well, proposing this shades of green very fitting.

Emerald Green: How to Wear it?

Still sometimes unloved, this shade of green rather cold and fairly bright yet gives depth and style to the silhouette. A color to adopt gently in your wardrobe.

In fashion - as in the theater where he is still banned on stage - the green is still far from unanimous. "Its odds have rocked from one era to another: sometimes love it, others hate it, and according to opinion polls, almost as many people have green as their favorite color. %) than for hated color, supposed to bring bad luck ", recalls the historian Michel Pastoureau. But since the color chart Pantone elected her color of the year in 2013, emerald green is a shade more and more popular. Inspired by the glittering gem of which it bears the name, the emerald green is characterized by its brightness and luminosity.

Why do we like it?

Less flashy than green grass and less casual than khaki, emerald is a particularly feminine green. Its intensity brings a touch of innate elegance. We also love its mineral and vegetal side that sticks to our desires of nature. In winter, it reminds us of the forest; in the summer, it makes us travel with a lot of exotic and tropical prints.

How to adopt it?

OK, it's true: its frank color is not the easiest to wear. To tame it, we go step by step :

1.We start gently with some accessories . The easiest ? A bag . Tote bag or mini bag shoulder bag, for you to see. It enhances any office attire . The coolest ? A pair of suede city running : with a black pencil skirt and a sock sweater, this is the perfect look for the working girl. The most "wow"? A pair of wonderful wholesale shoes, pumps. And for an even more bluffing effect, choose them in a slightly glittering material.

2. One gets stronger with tops and pullovers associated with jeans, preferably in raw denim. A cool but chic equation.

3. Once you feel comfortable with a top, you can think of the big piece: a long beach dress in the summer, a little cocktail dress - strapless or with ruffles - for a wedding and long fluffy coat. This is the class assured!

What colors to wear with?

In summer, the yellow suits him very well. In winter, think of associations with gold and copper hues that will make the emerald green even deeper. Also, try the intense reds that pull on the burgundy for an ultra-chic look. And if in doubt, mix the green with the black: no risk of fake fashion!

Gatsby Party: How to Dress for a 1920S Themed Party?

I'm coming back to talk to you today about a topic that we immediately think about when we're organizing or invited to a theme party: but how do I get dressed?

Of course, for the Gatsby Party theme, rhinestones, sequins, and other pearl necklaces are directly thought. But how to choose all the elements to be perfectly in the theme? Well, I'll try to give you the answer here! Unfortunately, the quality of the photos of this article is not great, I did not photograph the outfit before the evening, that's why I mainly composed this article with pieces of photos taken during the party, they are therefore not all of the optimal quality!

Back to our subject, as I did not necessarily have the budget to pay me a beautiful dress embroidered with sequins, I decided to compose my outfit as and when my findings, and of course, to make a party!

The dress

First, I went for a walk in thrift stores and vintage clothing stores. This is the best way to find original clothes (with sequins, fringes) and not too expensive. And who knows, you may be able to find THE perfect rare piece for your party.

I did not find vintage inspired dresses that suited me, but a short, pleated, pale pink skirt with a big black glittery elastic at the waist. But you prefer, vintage inspired dresses, you can also choose one of it that suits you. By putting it very low waist (as in the 20s!), It was perfectly suited to the theme. There was only to find the top!

While browsing Pinterest to inspire me in the choice of my outfit (and after watching 10 times Gatsby the Magnificent film ), I wanted to opt for a loose top, sleeveless, with a square neck or plunging neckline. I found my happiness at Zara with a black top simple and light. I then embellished with black sequins along the straps and neckline.

To complete the outfit I opted for low stitching flesh color, with black stitching. As for shoes, I had a crack at André's last year for these gorgeous sandals!

The accessories

For the accessories, I wanted to make myself my headband, after having cracked on several banners on Pinterest! The headband will be the subject of an entire article, the tutorial will be online Sunday! I embellished a brooch- shaped bow embroidered with pearls and sequins found in a haberdashery in Barcelona. Of pearl bracelets and two necklaces were added to my outfit.

Beauty treatment

Regarding the makeup, I applied a light coat of shadow spangled eyes and a line of black eyeshadow to the angled brush. The mascara and red dull red lip. And as the devil is in the details, I opted for black nail polish, covered with a transparent top coat with golden glitter!
