Three Must-Have Vintage Inspired Tops

Alexandra Morgan
A few years ago you could find vintage clothing everywhere, but since the '80s looks took over in the last two years it has become increasingly harder to find much that doesn't involve spandex, tight miniskirts ala Kelly Bundy, or tiny booty shorts. It can take some serious digging to unearth a great vintage inspired clothing source for women; but just as I was about to give up on the idea of shopping altogether, I found ShopRuche.com. ShopRuche is a goldmine for any woman into vintage wear, and they offer it all: '40s, 50's, and '60s inspired looks. Keep reading to learn more about my three must-have vintage inspired tops currently available at ShopRuche.com.

I discovered this site about a week ago and have not stopped gawking and drooling over their clothing ever since. Ok, maybe not drooling, but suffice it to say I'm a happy prospective shopper. Now before I tell you about my three must-have vintage inspired tops at ShopRuche.com, I need to preface by saying that I am a frugal gal; I love a deal, but when it comes to classic items that I want to be long-term wardrobe additions, I go for quality first and foremost, and then the deal. This is especially essential with vintage clothing because whether you're buying authentic vintage or vintage inspired; it needs to be high quality and true to the given time period.

Okay, now on with the three must-have vintage inspired tops at ShopRuche.com...

ShopRuche.com Garden of Grace Cardigan Tank

I love an item that pulls double duty and this 50's inspired top is both a tank and cardigan in one. This is a great way to achieve a layered look without buying two tops. Another great reason to buy this top is that you pull off a current and vintage look at once because the semi-sheer floral scoop neck button down tank covers our current floral trend as well as capturing the feminine 50's vibe.

The Garden of Grace Cardigan Tank from ShopRuche would look great paired with a solid colored light weight knee-length skirt and ballet flats.

Sizes: Small, medium, and large.

Price: $36.99

ShopRuche.com Flowers from the Sky Blue Tank

This top again capitalizes on the current floral trend while yet offering an almost country girl look, but with a very feminine slant. The Flowers from the Sky Blue Tank from ShopRuche features ruffles along the neckline which taper down alongside cream lace detailing running down center front of top; this a great buy if you're in need of a casual top that has a little something extra.

Sizes: Small, medium, and large

Price: $34.99

ShopRuche.com Copper Coils Button Up Tunic

This light weight long sleeve chiffon tunic in cream with pink detailing incorporates two of the largest trends of the season -- sheer fabric and white. Yes, it's technically cream but it is so close, that most won't even be able to tell this shirt isn't white. What I love most is that this is a layer friendly item (something's got to go under a shirt that sheer, unless you're Cher or Madonna) that won't send you running for a pool ten minutes after you step outside the house; this is a nice light weight top, perfect for summer wear.

And if you're looking to cover your hips, the ShopRuche Copper Coils Button Up Tunic is long (31.5 inches), hitting below the hips for that needed coverage. Pair this with a pair of jeans or khaki / jean shorts. And no need to worry about the shirt covering the shorts because that is a trend this season; and this tunic has slits on each side to keep the look soft and flowing while making it clear that you are indeed wearing something underneath.

Size: Small, medium, and large

Price: $34.99

Available in the New Arrivals section at ShopRuche.com

    I hadn't thought of trying vintage clothes. Thanks for mentioning ShopRuche.

    Nicely written. (Won't quite fit my wardrobe, though.)

    After you have some of their items, you ought to review them for their durability and quality.
