I like watching bestdressed and I think I like her style, but sometimes she says something is “vintage”. Similarly, Nicole Rafiee sometimes mentions vintage home decor items (not fashion, but still). And I can’t identify what is so vintage about these things.

What do you consider to be “vintage” women’s clothing? If you’re going to say “It depends”, then what does it depend on?

    Would people really go out shopping or whatever with a circle skirt? Tie-dye and bright colors I could see as a statement, but big dresses just seem inconvenient.

    I’ll look up go go boots and military jackets in women’s fashion online…

      i’ve seen photos of my relatives and it seems most of the time they would go out completely dressed up

      I didn’t know go go boots were called that, nor that they were vintage. What about them is vintage? Is it because they’re big and blocky colored?

        go go boots were introduced in the 1960s. a go go boot that was originally made in the 1960s which you may have found in a thrift store somewhere would be considered vintage.

        a modern style go go boot which you might find in a retailer would not be vintage.
