The 3 Main Eras of Vintage Jeans

Summary by Thomas Galley, edited by Ferdinand Rinaldy

Everyone is looking to grab of piece of the vintage jeans craze. Each era has unique features that should be matched accordingly with your modern tastes.

Late 70’s and 80’s Jeans

Colored and tapered jeans can be used to make extravagant statements in the club scene, and the high waist look has also been spotted on some celebrities. For the more extreme fashion boundaries, acid wash has been making a small comeback in the punk rock and heavy metal circuits.

Mid 60’s to Late 70’s Jeans

The sixties and seventies produced some of the hippest and most unique fashion statements of all time. Searching for vintage jeans from the sixties and seventies is significantly more competitive than searching for more modern fashions.

Pre 60’s Jeans

Prior to the hippie movement, the style and fit of jeans did not change nearly as much as the way people wore their jeans. From rolling up the pant legs, to buying off-fitting sizes, the most creative fashion statements were the unique manipulations by the owner. In fact, these impressions that each generation made on jean fashion stimulated the demand for different styles. You can still find classic denim from the fifties and before, but the fashion statement is not as effective as other modern eras.

Understanding the type of look you are trying to achieve is important when shopping for vintage jeans. Each era brings with its own unique style and story.

The contradictory youth of the time, didn’t give up jeans altogether. They found aged, authentic, vintage jeans, discovered in markets, and second-hand stores as acceptable attire. In the year 2000, denim jeans made a comeback with designers like Chanel, Chloe, Dior and Versace.

The White Shirt

In the 1950’s the white shirt made its appearance as a button down style collared shirt. Women began wearing oversized men’s white shirts with pedal pusher jeans and saddle back shoes. With an abundance of styles to choose from, the white shirt remains a wardrobe staple, you can wear with just about anything. Like denim, the plain white collared shirt says, “you don’t have to look good, you just do.”

Always simple, elegant, sexy and of course black – the little black dress is an essential item for all ladies. The debut of the term “the little black dress” was by Coco Chanel, in a 1920’s Vogue magazine. The little black dress endured through the 1940’s becoming the little wasp waist dresses of the 1950’s.
