Cult Classics Every Wardrobe Needs

Press pause on the new season trends for a second, it’s time to make some room for cult classics. Whilst your studded beanie or tie dye crop top might look rad right now, you might be over them in six months! From a vintage trench coat to beat-up denims, our sellers stock the pieces that you’ll wear time and time again. Here's our round-up of the classics to keep, pick up if you don't already own them, or sell via Marketplace to make a tidy profit!

A Classic Coat

If there is one piece that works whatever the fashion season (or weather!), it's the iconic trench. The possibilities are endless when working this topper, we are all over this vintage Burberry number from Peekaboo Vintage. Take on a look à la Alexa and pair with blue jeans, flats and tousled hair to create the ultimate Parisian look that will never go out of style.

Vintage Denim

Denim staples get better with age so pick pieces with tons of attitude; wear and repeat. Our sellers are turning up the heat and the ultimate wardrobe staple is being studded, dip dyed and printed! Check out this '60s patchwork skirt from Bohemian Rose Vintage or head on over to Mint Vintage for a super stocked collection of denim jackets that will have your back all year round - major props if you dare to do the double!

Plaid

A good plaid comes back around season after season, so keep it classic when you're purchasing yours with a vintage shirt or skirt. Incase you hadn't already noticed, grunge is huge right now, so wear your plaid tied around your waist or in the form of a punky midi, like the above from Radio Vintage London. If you're feeling feminine, opt for a shirt tied at the waist à la Club Vintage.

Vintage Jewellery

Vintage jewellery will always stand the test of time. Who doesn't love a piece with a story behind it? Stock up on statement pieces and add some serious bling to an otherwise understated outfit. We love the treasure trove that is Bohemian Rose Vintage, who stock vintage designer jewellery at bargain prices. Win!
