Is retro clothing vintage?
Vintage and retro clothing are often confused, but vintage refers to items made between 20 and 100 years ago. In contrast, retro clothing refers to items created to look like they are from another period. Both are commonly found in many vintage clothing stores or online.
Why is retro so popular?
According to Forbes, millennials place a higher priority on the environment (42 percent) than boomers. This is another reason why retro style is thriving.
The benefit of vintage and retro clothes is that they have been built to last, with more substantial material and a timeless style.
