The Art of Mixing Vintage and Modern Fashion

Good morning, style seekers! Today at Vurtobix, we’re exploring how to blend old and new for looks that are uniquely yours.

Mixing vintage with modern pieces creates outfits that tell your personal story. It’s all about balance – here’s how to get it right!

Start with one vintage statement piece

When you’re new to mixing styles, begin with one vintage item as your outfit’s star:

• A colorful 70s blouse with modern jeans
• Vintage high-waisted pants with a simple new t-shirt
• A classic leather jacket over a current dress

Let that special piece shine by keeping everything else simple.

Play with proportions

Vintage clothes often have different cuts than today’s styles. Use this to create interesting shapes:

• Pair a boxy vintage top with slim modern pants
• Match a fitted vintage blouse with today’s wider-leg jeans
• Layer a cropped modern jacket over a longer vintage dress

These contrasts make your outfit more eye-catching.

Connect old and new with color

Use color to tie your look together:

• Pick a color from your vintage piece and match it with something modern
• Use accessories in a color that appears in both your old and new pieces
• Try a monochrome look with different shades of the same color

This creates a visual link between different eras.

Don’t forget accessories

Accessories can bridge the gap between decades:

• Modern shoes can update a fully vintage outfit
• A vintage bag adds character to today’s fashion
• Mix in vintage jewelry with contemporary clothes

Small touches make a big difference!

Trust your eye

The best outfits express who you are. If something feels right to you, go for it! Fashion rules are meant to be broken.
