'Vintage style - not vintage values'
Or said in Danish: vintage style yes please - no thank you to live like in the past. That's the motto from us who love the vintage style. None of us wants to go back to the 1950s in terms of time travel, if it means giving up e.g. the freedom and equality that our mothers and grandmothers have fought for and have come this far with. - Thank you!
When we are crazy about the vintage clothing style today, it is also about not wanting to jump on the fashion bandwagon, and instead follow the style that your body looks best in, and still have nice clothes that show a feminine figure. It's about having clothes of good quality and something you want to have for a long time.
After all that has been said, there are also things we might miss from the past. In fact, the corona pandemic and the shutdown of society and our everyday life as we knew it have focused on many of these things. A little too much jogging clothes makes us want, and make us appreciate, beautiful clothes and styling. The daily contact with close friends and family is the focus, etc. Here is a small list of things that we think should actually have a little renaissance today.

1. The phone
Here during the corona shutdown, facetime and perhaps even 'old fashioned' phone calls have seen a revival. Long talks about this and that, not just a quick text message, but talking together about both the essential and the completely unimportant. It is limited how much happens when everything is closed and you work from home. Are you going to stick to this tradition, or is it completely gone now that we have to go out again and see more people?
Aren't we also just a bit crazy about the old-fashioned phone call, where you can't necessarily see each other, and can therefore just lie and laze like the lady here?
2. Matching sets
Yes, check out Marilyn. How incredibly classy is that? Wearing matching sets is a thing of the past that we would like to see come back. With a snap you have a complete and delicious (vintage) look. The sets can be the same colour, but they can also be in the same pattern, e.g. dots or checks.
If you e.g. are used to wearing dresses, a solid color set can be a way to start wearing trousers and a blouse on, and vice versa if you are not used to dresses, these solid color sets can remind you of a dress . It's also smart that just because one part gets a little dirty, you don't have to wash both.
Wear contrasting accessories for your vintage clothes such as our earrings and bracelets from Rock it Rosie , to give your chosen color even more style!
Below you see Nanna in three beautiful sets of clothes in teal, red and navy.
Always check out our beautiful trousers, shorts and skirts, which we have in a multitude of colours, and which you can therefore easily match with a nice top and get a super stylish vintage clothing set.
6. Dance
The time everyone actually learned to dance!
Such couple dancing with correct steps, so that when you had to go out dancing you could have fun with the dances you had learned. Here, too, we just mention the clothes . So, once to be back at such a swing ball, where you could dance and wear your finest swing dress... You might like to try that.
Fortunately, there are still clubs and dance schools for this kind of thing, but maybe it's not quite the same.
What things from the past do you sometimes wish would come back?
The best greetings,
Team Mondo Chaos
