The Best Vintage Jeans Styles to Buy Right Now

Today's fashion trends are throwing it back to the ‘80s and ‘90s, which is why second-hand stores are gaining so much popularity. Everyone should have some staple vintage pieces in their wardrobe, and a great pair of vintage jeans is an absolute must-have. But which pair should you go for when shopping? Check out this guide and choose the one that best fits your style.

Cargo Jeans & Flares

These vintage Baggy Marithé + François Girbaud cargo jeans are perfect for everyday use. Pair them with a nice track jacket or a shirt in a bold color, and you'll look as if you've just come out of a '90s teen movie.

Wide-leg jeans that are skinny at the waist will always be timeless, and a pair you might want to consider is the '70s Maverick flare. Add bright-colored shoes and a baggy top, and you'll definitely make a statement.

Overalls & Workwear

Don't be scared of overalls. They might look like too much sometimes, but they remain trendy. Try '60s/'70s Sears hickory-stripe overalls and pair them with nice navy loafers. It's the perfect vintage look!

You can never go wrong with workwear, even on a day out with your friends. If you want to stand out, check out some '50s Sears Hercules farmer jeans and add a skinny denim jacket. Accessorize with a shirt and tie, and you're good to go.

Go Above and Beyond

If you don't want to go for the classic blue denim, you can try to brown-tonal-wash your jeans. Find a denim jacket in a similar color, and you'll stand out for sure. Finally, while you might think that studs are outdated, they're actually here to stay. Make your studded vintage jeans the star of the show and pair them with a simple white T-shirt and some silver jewelry to complement your look.
