Spring Trends 2023 With A Vintage Twist

Spring Trends 2021 - LA Vintage

As spring arrives, it's time to give your wardrobe a fresh update and embrace the latest fashion trends of 2023. This season, designers are offering an array of new styles, from pastels to classic wardrobe staples like denim, with a twist. Here are some of the latest 2023 spring fashion trends that you won't want to miss.

Accessories

On the runways this year, we’re seeing lots of organic materials such as beachy beads and pounded metals. These looks give both a laid back, chill feeling while infusing sacred, boho elements. We’re also seeing a lot of raw pearls for that mermaid-on-land look.

Vintage Twist: Lazy beads were super in in the 90’s, and the boho look comes from the 60’s and 70’s (truly originating in tribal communities before fashion was even a thing), and pearls were one of the most valued gems in ancient Greece. We’re also seeing metal anklets and body chains as belts resurfacing from the 90’s with a modern flare. Check out our vintage BELTS AND CHAIN PURSES here.

Florals

Flowers signify new beginnings, and once again the fashion industry is bringing us hope of just that. We’re seeing lots of head to toe, soft floral looks on the runways this year - especially in soft pastels. The color really standing out to us for this spring is Yellow, which symbolizes happiness and joy. Between new beginnings and joy, our clothes allow us to express our inner desires light heartedly.

Vintage Twist: Pastel florals were wildly popular in the 1960’s and to this day are some of the easiest vintage pieces to find from this decade. Hippies commonly wore pastel florals as a symbol of freedom and free love. Check out our DRESS BOX MIX OF 10 to vintage up your fresh, modern look today.

Pastels

Soft pastel hues are a must-have this spring. From pale pinks to baby blues, these light colors are perfect for creating a fresh and feminine look. Try pairing pastel pieces together for a monochromatic outfit or pair with bolder shades for a pop of color.

Vintage Twist: In the 1950s, pastel colors were paired with feminine details such as lace and pearls to create the iconic "fifties housewife" style but in the 60s, pastel colors were paired with bold prints and patterns for a more mod-inspired look. 

Crochet

Crochet is having a comeback this spring, with designers showcasing everything from dresses to handbags in this traditional technique. These bohemian-inspired pieces add texture and a touch of vintage to any outfit.

Vintage Twist: Crochet was first popularized in the 17th century as a way for women to create decorative pieces for their homes, such as doilies and tablecloths. In the 60s and 70s, crochet started trending with crochet dresses, tops, and accessories becoming a staple in bohemian fashion. Vintage crochet pieces can be paired with denim shorts and sandals for a casual look, or dressed up with a maxi skirt and statement jewelry for a more formal occasion.

Fringe

Fringe is another trend that's making a comeback this season, adding a playful and fun touch to any look. From fringe jackets to bags and skirts, this trend is perfect for adding movement and texture to your wardrobe.

Vintage Twist: Vintage fringe has been a popular trend in fashion since the roaring twenties, when flapper dresses with fringe embellishments became all the rage. Then in the 60s and 70s, fringe became popular in bohemian fashion, with fringe jackets, bags, and accessories becoming a staple in the hippie wardrobe. 

Windbreaker Fashion

We never thought we’d say this, but windbreakers are back in! Now don’t get us wrong, we have always LOVED and embraced a good windbreaker, but now that world is about to embrace them again too. It feels like just yesterday when the 80’s and 90’s windbreakers were what was hot, and now the style has finally cycled back to us. And just like all the other trends for 2021, we’re talking bright colors.

Vintage Twist: There’s literally no greater era for windbreakers than the 1980’s, and the best part about that is that windbreakers can last decades and maintain very good condition. Check out our WINDBREAKER BOX here.

Cinched Waists

It’s a cinch! Cinched waists are back in. We know corsets for body shaping had their moment when the Kardashians started showing off their perfectly curved bodies. We’re finding cinched waist belts to be far more comfortable and stylish!

Vintage Twist: In the 1980’s cinched belts were HOT, making it a necessary vintage fashion statement that transcends time once again. Check out our BELT MIX here!

Khaki’s

A neutral mood to ground & accessories the light pastels and bright colors of this year. We love the khaki look, because it literally transcends time in the classiest way possible. There’s just something about a good Khaki item that screams military chic meets soft and dreamy. A weird combo… we know. And yet, weirdly on the nose! Khaki is the perfect addition to a soft, neutral, aesthetic AF space.

Vintage Twist: The iconic gap commercial for Khaki’s where two couples are swing dancing is literally the perfect example of why vintage khaki’s are the best khaki’s. They last forever too!

Shoulder Pads

An exciting nod to the 80’s has now taken on a life of its own, creating a powerful look in women’s clothing. I mean honestly, what’s more powerful than a bold shoulder on a powerful woman? The shoulder pad has been sprinkled into fashion shows over the last few years, but we can admit, no one does it like Balenciaga. Shout out to Ela Shiaparelli for being brilliant enough to transform football padded shoulders into a trick of the eye and a flash of the feminine silhouette in the 1930’s.

Vintage Twist: When shopping for your bold shoulder blouse or blazer, consider going to vintage with it. There’s no stronger look than the original itself! Check out our BLAZER BOX today.

Net

A deliciously surprising style is upon us, and it serves no purpose other than to be the visual turn on we all needed after a year in sweatpants. Net in fashion feels like a snake or fish shedding its skin and revealing more of itself… and we really believe that’s what net is doing here. Helping us to shed our skin and show more of who we are once again.

Vintage Twist: In the past we’ve seen net show up in a variety of different ways. The two that come to mind the fastest are marital and mourning. Net is so interesting as it takes the shapes of many different emotions. When we think of net as both a shedding of the skin and an element of mourning, it feels inspiring in the direction of mourning 2020 but embracing and growing for the future!

Oversized Denim Jeans

Remember in the 90’s when we were all rocking that Tomboy/boyfriend jean look? It’s back! That casual laid back look is on trend, and we are living for it. There’s literally nothing like a lazy, comfy outfit that screams fashion icon, and oversized denim jeans does just the trick.

Vintage Twist: Our favorite oversized vintage jeans are Levi Strauss - obviously! They are legendary. We’re also quite fond of Lee and Lucky as well. Check out or VINTAGE LEVI MIX here.
