New Trends Inspired by Vintage Pieces

Ever wonder how designers come up with the next great idea, or the newest trend? Where do they get their inspiration? From the past of course.

Designers shop vintage stores like Back-in-Style.com to gather ideas of elements and styles they want to use in their next collection. They then mix and match all the different elements to create their own unique look. They may take the neckline of one dress, the skirt of another, the details of yet a third, and combine them all together.

Todays trends are usually a mix of many different eras, but sometimes a vintage piece is so fabulous, the designer simply recreates it. Check out how similar these current pieces are to their vintage counterparts.

5 great pieces you must own

It's not very often that you see something in a magazine that isn't trend driven, trying to get your to jump on the band wagon and go buy something that you will only wear for the next few months, and then curse yourself for even buying it, let along wearing it out in public! That being said, I thought this article in Lucky Magazine was actually right on, listing 5 wardrobe staples every woman must have. (The only thing I would have added to the list is a great pair of jeans.)

"If there is any doubt where your wardrobe dollars are best spent, here are some surefire investments- pieces you can count on using for the next five years. "

1. Metallic evening sandals: "There's no need to show a lot of skin to be sexy. Strappy metallic evening shoes do it for you. Wear this with everything from jeans and a sequin top to a little black dress."

2. Sexy Suit: "For a look that's pure power-chic, add a classic black or navy suit to your ensemble. You'll look confident and professional during that job interview, presentation or power lunch." Suits work great as separates too. Wear the jacket over your sequin top and jeans, or the pencil skirt with the sequin top for cocktails.

3. Fancy Earrings: "Fancy chandelier earrings add a touch of glamor to almost any outfit. We like the sophisticated sparkle that can be achieved with the long romantic cluster"

4. Black Leather Bag: "Just big enough for your wallet, keys, and lipstick, a small black leather bag is a must for your wardrobe because it goes with practically everything." Since it is not to big, it easily transitions from day to night.

5. Sequin top: Glittery sequins make every day feel like a special occasion. There's no easier way to add drama to your outfit that with a hot sequin top. Pair it with skinny pants and a sleek blazer or your favorite jeans to add a splash of all-out glitz."

So there you have it, the five great pieces you must own, and they don't even need to be expensive. The fit and the style are more important than the price tag. Be sure they flatter your body, and fit you at your current weight. We aren't going for trends here (none of us can afford that in this economy), we are going for stylish, modern, and chic.

You can buy all five of these pieces and update your entire wardrobe for under $250 from Back-in-Style.com.

As always, $6 domestic flat rate shipping, and low international rates. With our hassle free return policy, you won't have to worry if it doesn't fit.
