The Rebirth of Vintage Clothing & Trends, 2009 Seasons

As the seasons change from Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer, and we're quickly approaching yet another winter season, styles from seasons past have come back around. Even though MJ isn't with us anymore, he's left a mark in 80's fashion. The military jacket has come back to life! This year we've seen various twists of this vintage fashion on the runway which designers and retail outlets alike offer up their own modern versions, but there is nothing that quite compares to the real deal. The great thing about vintage clothing, it's almost as if it we're couture. One-of-a-kind pieces that've stood the test of time, and have been given new life. Combining the old with the new, is a fusion that is both unique, and inspiring. Jackets are the biggest must-have this fall, and especially the winter season. It's all about a polished look, but you may have to dig for vintage jackets and blazers that are tailored to you. San Francisco, and other metropolitan cities usually have an abundant resale shops, making the hunt for buried treasure, easy to find, as well as affordable. When searching for jackets, look for one's that are tailored to fit your body's shape, as well as dark colors such as black, browns, and other darker shades. Also, these rich dark colors, like vintage, will stand the test of time, so don't be afraid to splurge on a staple this season.

Seek out a great waist belt for this season. Belts have been worn over sweaters, which are a hot fashion trend for Fall, 2009. You can give this look a vintage twist with a vintage sweater and belt! The return of 60's and 70's was also present with the return of the sweater mini-dress. The mini sweater dress can be worn with tall boots, or a pair of skinny jeans. You may or may not have any luck finding these at thrifts but vintage clothing boutiques usually have a selection. But the best selection is certainly to be found on-line.

Vintage brooches are another thing to look for on your thrift store hunting expeditions this fall. Big, flashy, antique jewelry is a fun and funky way to add personality to your outfit. They are incredibly versatile as well. You can wear them more traditionally on your lapel, or you can use them to dress a purse, a hat, or even shoes! If you have a scarf that will hold up to being punctured with the pin backing of the brooch , you can use it to hold a carefully-laid scarf in place.
