The Vintage Tee: Style the trend with 3 cool looks

HerFamily

The vintage tee is a style staple that will never date. Nailing the look requires some secret basics: keep things simple and pair with good accessories. 

The fashion crew at maven46 have brought us these of-the-moment ensembles:

1. Dungarees and a tee (if it’s vintage or printed, even better).

This is a classic. Whether’s it’s genuinely vintage or it’s an industrial-effect modern version, we all own an Instagram-inspired one, in grey marl or one with a ‘Ramones’ logo. If you don’t, snap one up and you will be a convert soon.

What’s cool? Why not update your repertoire of denim with these cool Current/Elliot dungarees. High-top trainers and a cross body bag will complete you. Cool is the word.

Likey? Current/Elliot dungarees, €292. Topshop Vintage Tee, €23. You can purchase the looks here.

2. The tiara skirt and a tee (hard to resist for obvious reasons, fashionable as heck)

There is no better way to rekindle your romance with the younger you than to show yourself off in a poofy skirt that flatters the figure. Adding an edgy vintage tee will prevent you from looking like a ballerina. It’s feminine, floaty and so versatile for an event. TBH, we love a midi-skirt of any variety.

What’s cool? If you are into embellishment, we would suggest you get a chunky piece of neck jewellery and enjoy the compliments. I don’t know about you lot, but a bomber jacket and a pair of strappy sandals would be my favourite accompaniment.

Likey? Neiman Marcus Tiara tulle skirt, €482. D Squard Vintage Tee, €195. You can purchase the looks, here.

3. The leather pants for stylistas and a tee (casual yet, easy to dress-up for a night with the gal pals)

These are not to be frowned upon. Lose the attitude when it comes to these luxe babies – don’t knock em’ ’til’ you try ’em. If it’s too warm to bust out your winter wardrobe, but a bit on the chilly side to break out the shorts, summer culottes are an appropriate Irish summer choice.

What’s cool? The shape allows for many shoe options. If it’s a chunky heel you choose to match with them, keep your top simple in structure with a print; if it’s a jazzy, jewelled, sandal go for a single colour and match with something fitted. Endless choices await you, friend.

Likey? Mulberry Culottes, €1430. Mango Vintage Tee, €15. You can purchase the looks, here.

4. Edit

We love that each of these pieces are so versatile. Here’s a pick n’ mix of the clothing available from maven46 and why we would get out of the skinnies, to get into one of these:

Offbeat market-day stroll?

A family birthday brunch?

…or why not rock your evening BBQ with this vibe and a cool pair of sliders? We so would.
