How to Wear Your Favorite Vintage T Shirts

Do you remember your favorite vintage t shirt? Is there at least one vintage rock t shirt folded neatly in your dresser ? Do you often reach for your favorite vintage tee on days when you want to feel comfortable? Here are 4 tips on how you can blend your favorite vintage t shirts in with today's fashions.

Locate

Take all of your vintage t shirts in good condition out of your closet or drawers. Carefully inspect the shirts for any rips, holes, or snags. Repair the shirts before wearing them. Treat any stains that you may have not been aware. Since you will be reincorporating these shirts into your wardrobe, you want them to look their best.

Style

Create an outfit around the colors in your vintage t shirt. Look for other pieces in your closet that are in a solid color. Look for these tones in khaki, corduroy, and denim. A nice heavy tweed or plaid can work as well. Stay away from flowered, paisley or busy character pieces

Men

For men a blazer or button up shirt left unbuttoned so that your shirt can be seen is a great starting point. Wear your vintage t shirt in stead of a basic white undershirt. A nice corduroy blazer with a vintage tee and dark wash jeans is a great way to showcase your vintage t shirt. Choose shoes and a belt that are complimentary. You can wear a sturdy leather belt, or a fabric belt with a structured buckle. Select shoes that compliment at least one color choices in your outfit.

Ladies

Women can wear the t shirt alone, with a vest, sweater, or blazer. A dark denim pencil skirt, trouser jeans, or any jean in a dark wash will create a fashion forward look. Choose your accessories based on the colors in the shirt. Try on different belts to find the best look. Experiment with wide stretch belts, and skinny belts. Try the belt on with the shirt tucked and not tucked in. Your belt may even look best over your jacket or sweater of choice. Color coordinating earrings and necklace can put the finishing touches on your outfit.

Yes, you can wear your favorite vintage t shirt again. Update your shirt with modern clothing pieces and accessories. Try on different items that you already own, to instantly update your look. Use these tips when reintroducing your favorite vintage t shirts to your wardrobe.
