Get That Vintage Look

Fashion trends are constantly changing over time . However , there are always some recognizable patterns that are coming back in style . Now , vintage trends are making a huge comeback and people are starting to incorporate them in their wardrobes more and more . What better way to do so than going to a cosy and welcoming vintage shop in Breda ? Luckily for you , there are a lot .
Trench Coats and Flared Jeans
There is no better duo than a trench coat and flared jeans : let ’ s see how that came to be . Trench coats were invented by the British clothing manufacturer Thomas Burberry as an alternative to the heavy coats worn by soldiers in the First World War . Officers started wearing and modifying them , and after World War II , women also adopted trench coats . Moreover , ever since Marilyn Monroe wore one in her 1960 movie Let ’ s Make Love it has been an equivalent of good style for both men and women . Also , needless to say how iconic flared jeans were in the ‘ 70s when Cher and her husband Sonny started wearing them on TV . Nowadays , flared jeans are part of famous designer runways , as well as street fashion culture . You can put together your own outfit with those elements in the ReShare store in Breda ’ s city centre .
Silk Scarves
Another trend that is coming back and was an absolute hit as well , is silk scarves . The history of scarves dates back to 350 BC and the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti , but it wasn ’ t until the French brand Hermès introduced scarves as a luxury good . Later , Audrey Hepburn wore one in the iconic movie from 1961 - Breakfast at Tiffany ’ s , and women all around the world instantly fell in love with this look . She usually wore them either as a headscarf or tied around her neck , and the actress even stated that she had never felt more like a beautiful woman than when she wore a silk scarf . This piece of clothing is stylish , delicate , and feminine , and what ’ s most important : it is easy to find in every vintage shop .
