Old fashioned vintage? It’s all about the sex appeal darling…
The vintage look is about showing elegance and class without baring it all. It’s about complementing your figure in a sexy way by enough suggestion of what is there. Vintage fashion celebrates curvy women, real women with real lives who want to show off their femininity in a beautiful way. The stunning lines and curves incorporated into vintage lingerie and clothing are so figure flattering and create a wonderful aesthetic. Sometimes the old school ways are best, it’s about standing out in a world of modernity, showcasing and being proud of being feminine. It can also be about accepting yourself for who you are and owning it, the clothes being synonymous with the person. Sexiness is about what you bring to the outfit, the way you walk, the twinkle in your eye. Standing out from the crowd in a unique way and owning who you are is the most attractive thing you can do.
It’s a lovely way to celebrate the classic, elegant looks of the movie stars of old in a modern way. Celebrating and remembering a piece of history through emanating the pin-up looks. Just because the clothing is vintage it doesn’t have to be old fashioned. The great thing about vintage clothing is its individuality and your ability to make your own twist, create your own look and bring your own personality to the clothing by wearing something different. Vintage can be made relevant to these modern times by celebrating strong women.
One of everybody’s favourite movie stars is Marilyn Monroe, whose classic look has been immortalised forever in history. However it’s not just her ‘look’ that Marilyn is remembered for, but her persona, her opinions, her sex appeal. All this came down not just to her look but her personality and the way she carried herself. Marilyn oozed sex appeal without baring it all. To me, it’s about being a real woman, celebrating your strengths and realising that anyone can be like Marilyn. Vintage lingerie can make you feel sexy, bringing out the inner qualities that make you unique, having a sense of style and expressing yourself outwardly through it. Celebrating your curves and what makes you feminine is one way to show the world who is boss!
Femininity should be regarded as a sign of power and beauty synonymous with other qualities such as intelligence, creativity, wit, charm and success. By wearing that gorgeous vintage outfit you can look and feel amazing, taking on some of that elegance and class of the vintage movie stars and icons. Classy Lingerie makes any outfit beautiful. Every woman wants to feel glamorous and comfortable in her own skin and any woman should be able to access it.
The great thing about the pin-up look is it is so accessible and attainable for everyone to achieve. Every woman has curves and can look stunning and feminine with the pin-up look, giving confidence and making them feel sexy. This look is more relevant to women today than the high catwalk looks which often have a more masculine feel to them. Women today have more power, rights, disposable income and equality than ever before but that doesn’t mean compromising on feeling and being sexy or feminine. This look is about empowering women to be all those things but also that it’s okay to be feminine with it. We can have our cake and eat it too! Being able to put on an outfit and look and feel amazing is what it’s all about.
I think vintage clothing is about having fun and feeling inspired by the clothes that you wear. It’s something you can really enjoy the process of creating. It’s also about being admired, sharing that with family and friends, the people you care about and bringing people together. It’s also about being remembered, standing out from the crowd and being known for looking good. Vintage is relevant to the modern woman of today who expertly juggles more priorities than ever before but still takes pride in her appearance, elegance and femininity. Yes, we can have it all.
