Vintage, Retro and Up-cycled Clothing: Is it Okay to Bring it Back?

Here at FashMates we are all about recycling and reusing unwanted clothes and fashion accessories.

Some of the items for sale are new, but most is preloved and near-new, and all are sold by women who are looking for some extra cash.

However, when do you know when your vintage or retro clothes are in, and when they are out?

Everything Comes Back into Fashion

It’s true: everything does come back into fashion one way or another.

In 2018, we are expecting to see many things from the 1980s made new again by fashion designers.

However, they will be adding or subtracting certain elements which makes each garment or accessory quite unique.

There won’t be styles coming back exactly the same way, as fabrics, colors and styles change and develop.
