One of my favourite summer trends this summer, is actually pretty much my style every summer. But now it has a name and it's fashionable; its name is New Vintage.
Definition; New Vintage is your "grandmother gone chick and stylish"-trend. It can be made of all the pieces of clothes you already have, old as new. You can combine everything! Everything, I mean it; glitter and cotton, your grandmothers shoes with a new in pair of jeans or different patterns that only stick together because of one continuous colour. But it is also to take a well known brand and make it into a new style; for example taking your old jeans and making them into shorts with rips (That is what is called Vetements)
To say it short: Only your imagination stops you.
My tips:
- Look through your grandmothers wardrobe. Maybe she has a maxi-skirt you can cut into a midi- or mini-skirt. She may be having the perfect retro shirt with print.
- Go to the thrift store, there is gold hidden. Some of my most loved items I've found in thrift/second hand shops. And a huge, giant plus is that it is cheap, so if you end up not wearing it anyway, you did not spend a huge amount of money.
- Style old with new, to make a fashionable look.
My way to "New Vintage"
I have here made three suggestions to how I would do this New Vintage style. I have mixed colours, new and old and mine and borrowed. And I must say I really like the results to be honest. My style alway tend to be more bohemian and "old fashioned" during the summer time, so I love this trend, even before it was a trend, and I will always love it when it stops being a trend.

I love this look, and what I love the most is the shoes. The shoes are borrwed from a friend, but she found them in a thrift store! I love how it's old mixed with new and thrift store vs designer.

Look 2
This is perfect for the bech, and one of my all time go yo ways to style this skirt. It was just a little tiny bit more windy than I thought it would have been.
The skirt is found in Sweden in a Second Hand shop, and again I mix old with new and set high street vs. second hand.

I found this white shirt in my mothers closet and immediately knew I would love it together with a pleated skirt. To add some colout, you never go wrong with a classic red lip - and trying to rock that scarf-thingy-trend going on?
