There is a new trend in fashion that is so old it is new. Vintage clothing is the old and new of fashion and people are becoming more and more aware of the benefits and the rewards that it can give. You can see Hollywood big names very much in to it, you can see common folks trying to make the best of it, you see big names in the fashion industry looking back to it's possibilities and you can read all over the internet about the its biggest comeback. Perhaps the biggest comeback that vintage clothing has ever made is when people are making more money out of what used to be relief goods.
There is no denying that before the big comeback vintage clothing made, people were ready to discard dad's old pair of jeans, mom's old boots and other stuff that used to be the all the rave in the 50's, 60's, 70's and the 80's. It was either the trash can or the big boxes that we use to gather clothes at the back of the church for the hurricane victims. That's right, it was like that before. People found no use for these clothes that are still in good condition just because they were out of date or yesterday's news. Some people did have the good sense of having a garage sale to make some money out of these clothes that were part of the "Boys don’t cry" era. While some others just held on to it as memorabilia but never to be worn again in public.
But because of the big revival in the fashion industry, vintage clothing was given second life and another chance to make people feel, look and dress good. Some kids started looking for vintage tees and jeans in the attic so they could be more "in" with their circle. These are kids are lucky because their parents couldn't let go of the past but for some people who do not share their luck there are still places where you can dig up old treasures of the times that passed. Here are a few good places to look for vintage clothing.
