The New Old Thing: This Season's Peppy Vintage Fashion Essentials

Ironically, vintage wear is something that never goes out of fashion; be it retro polka dots, vibrant accessories or classic shades! And with nearly a hundred years of style to choose from, there’s a vintage look for everyone and anyone. Head to your local thrift shop or go 'shopping' in your grandmother's closet. Here are our retro picks for the season:
