Whenever I see these styles,  Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Nicole Kidman and Rachel Weisz are the ones I could think of. Old-fashioned yet stylish. Vintage hairstyles are now trending and most stylist and trendsetters as well as teenagers in this generation would love to have such styles.

There are, most of them, now have upgraded versions of these styles to make more daring, cool, mysterious and elegant appearances. Most vintage female hairstyles are on Bob style or quiff and the elegance of updo styles.

The updo vintage hairstyles are usually now popular for special occasion hairstyle such as weddings, formal parties. Though when these styles were still hit among women, aristocrats, even though there were no special occasions, their everyday hair dress was updo.

The most influential vintage hair do would be Marilyn Monroe's. Yes, because most Hollywood celebrities have similar styles which were inspired with her own hair style. It was then sought to be a very sexy hair style in the 50's.

So all in all, like the fashion itself, the trends of this hairstyle will not be rotten nor forgotten because of its contribution and influence in the society.

J-Vintage Lolita Fashion

The Japanese vintage fashion's total modern style has complicated designs (esp. in prints) but the classic touch of the style itself hasn't gone out of the line. 
Last time, I visited  a Kawaii Convention that most of the Japanese enthusiast were wearing the Japanese latest fashion which are the vintage styled dresses. The Japanese vintage dresses were considered as Casual Lolita fashion or close to that. Like those vintage dresses, it also has such complicated designs but because of it, a beautiful and simply elegant image appeared.

Some vintage dresses were close enough to being a school uniform, based on some of the animes that I've watched and also from the mangas I've read.

A Trending Throwback

I have been amazed by this kind of fashion though honestly I wasn't born within the 1920's nor the following 20 consecutive years when this style was still huge. But fashion trends are just circulating. The vintage styles and the retro look are constantly being revived. 

Still chic elegance that was established in the Golden Era (think Coco Chanel) is undoubtedly timeless. I would say something akin to the clothes that are being worn by the mannequin in the image above. Though there are vintage styled dresses that are given a modern twist to make it practical for the contemporary woman to wear and there are some given a more complex transformation. But most vintage dresses had stayed the same because they have a classic silhouette that simply never goes out of style.

As an example, t-shirt designs with photographic prints or artwork that captures the style of a bygone era have been currently popular. Teenagers or youngsters are into these iconic images like The Beatles walking on the Abbey Road or Marilyn Monroe's sweet smile or the musical instruments of the 80's.
