loungewear
You're welcome
Your're welcome
Hello there welcome back to the closet historian, today I want to talk to you about
wearing vintage as a teen or in school in general so either in high school or
even into college wearing vintage in a sort of school environment
So that's what we're gonna talk about today
when I was in high school, I started wearing a little bit of vintage
sort of dabbling in vintage, but mostly my look was sort of just
crazy assemblage of vintage and high fashion
Wanna be a high fashion obviously
I couldn't afford Dolce and Gabanna in high school
But I would want to emulate high fashion sort of runway looks and sort of mash that all together
with, you know, a not so great
understanding of
Makeup and hair, and you're experimenting in high school, and I was too and luckily many of those photos
No longer exist due to various hard drives, umm, hard drives crashing over the years, so we are saved from from that
I'll have to really dig to get some (photos), when I, if I ever do like a style evolution video or anything like that
I'll have to dig to find the photos evidence of this because
Those photos are so old and then I had a period for a long time where I wouldn't let anyone take any pictures of me
Which we'll talk about sometime, I'm sure
before I finally started wearing vintage and becoming the blogger I am today
umm, so there's a lot of missing photo history for my style
But I assure you I wore some crazy stuff in high school including red lipstick, heels, hats sort of vintage
Adjacent or vintage style items, so I do have some experience dealing with
wearing vintage or just wearing different style in a high school and
college school environment
So I want to talk to you a little bit about my tips and tricks for wearing vintage style at school
and uh kind of get started, how to get started with vintage style and
Feel confident when you're in an environment like that
the first thing I want to recommend as a teen
who might be interested in vintage style, you might want to start looking into teenage fashion of the
1940s or 50s if those are the kind of eras you're interested in
Of course pick the era that you are most interested in- there's of course 60s mod style, and 70s hippie stuff, and 20s deco
But umm there's a lot of good resources out there for 40s and 50s
Vintage teenage styles, so what people were wearing to school back then so that's obviously a good first resource if you are looking into
Vintage fashion to look at vintage juniors fashion because there was an entire separate market for juniors at the time
And you'll find in a lot of old catalogs and things like that, there are separate juniors pages with dresses and
Skirts and blouses things that are marketed towards teenagers at the time and might be a good look for you to consider as a teenager now
So I'll put a picture of a very very common schoolgirl sort of 40 schoolgirl outfit
And it's usually a pleated skirt of some kind, a button-down top or a sweater, and then like maybe a cardigan
Either tucked in, the sweaters umm and shirts either tucked in or sweaters just like over your skirt as well
If you're just feeling more of a baggy lazy day
And then you'll notice that white socks and saddle shoes are a big deal, a big part of the sort of teenager look in
the 40s and 50s is to have sort of saddle shoes or
Penny loafers with white socks that are one kind of high up on the shin
Which is you know schoolgirls looks with the high socks
We've all seen that but it's been exaggerated and changed over the years
So this is the this is the original look and this is the look that are most of our probably my grandmother probably people in
My past wore to high school. This is a very everyday look. It's not super glamorous. It's not Dior
It's not Marilyn Monroe
But it is the authentic vintage thing to wear to school so skirts with some basic tops and maybe some cardigans and sweaters
So those are going to be really good basics if you are interested in building a vintage wardrobe at a sort of junior
level if you're more interested in skipping all the kind of juniors looks and going straight into like the sophisticated Dior new look or
You know 40's suits and all that really full-on stuff go for it
I mean if you have the confidence to rock that do whatever look you want to do
but it might be an easier way to still sort of ease into vintage style or
blend in a little bit more if you're keeping it sort of more casual and
how juniors would have dressed in the 40s
This isn't to say that all school girls just wore an
A-line plaid skirt and a blouse. As you can see the girl in the middle of this photo
here is a little bit more sophisticated
She's got like a big bow tied around her blouse and a more straight pencil skirt
So you can definitely go for a more sophisticated almost kind of secretary or librarian
chic kind of look while you're still in school. I mean technically you can guys wear. Whatever you want at school
These are just my tips for what teenagers were wearing in the vintage past
You can see that some vintage gals were wearing pants even though was the 40s and you should note that
in the 40s through like
sometimes like the early 70s well a lot of times girls were not allowed to wear pants to school so I know I think my
Grandma has said that she wasn't allowed to wear slacks at school
So they would go home and change into slacks after school because it's like the cool thing kind of tomboyish thing to be wearing
jeans and pants, but you weren't allowed to wear them at school you had to wear a skirt, so it's very interesting
That's why a lot of that schoolgirl image still
is around today's because everyone had to wear skirts so be thankful that you're allowed to wear jeans or leggings if you want to because
Back in the past that was not a thing but you can definitely get away with wearing pants and still having a vintage look
It's gonna be easier to find these kind of high-waisted
pants and
Jeans even at the thrift store because they were popular in the 80s and 90s to have a high waist just like it was in
The 40s and 50s, now obviously not as many things are high waisted
It's gonna be harder to find, so thrift stores probably to be your best bet for high waisted pants if you're going for the full-on
Vintage pants look, and if this classic school wear outfit looks a little bit too wintery for where you live
I don't know if you're in, California
But a wool skirt is not gonna work out very well for most of the year
so of course the same kind of look translates over to
Summery stuff as well with a cotton kind of skirt with a blouse as well
It doesn't have to be a wool pleated skirt that just seems to be the most common thing that was really popular at the time
And then of course dresses are another option
It's just gonna be a little bit harder because they can't be mixed and matched the same way that separates can and they do look
A little bit more formal than separates do I know I used to get questions in college when I would wear a dress like oh
Do you have an audition today? Do you have like a party or something? and it's just like no
I'm just just wearing a dress
But uh, so expect comments like that if you're anytime you get even a little more formal
Than what most people are wearing people start asking you if you're going to a party and it's like just wearing a dress guys
But people love a dress, so you know it's it's a good option as well
It's just a little bit less versatile if you're trying to create a really mix-and-match
wardrobe for something like when you want to change your outfit every day for school and things like that. And they definitely did have a
distinction between juniors and ladies fashions back in the 40s and 50s
You could get away with things that it were more girlish and frilly and maybe less sophisticated
And I think super sophisticated looks are gonna look really out of place at school
So if you're wearing like a little black dress like a wool
long-sleeve dress or
Even like more Marilyn or glamorous looks that's gonna look out of place because it's not a daywear look
The more glam you are it's less
It's meant to be an evening kind of or a show kind of look
And it's not really meant for everyday things like going to school so if you're gonna keep your look more casual. It's gonna be less
Standoffish for people it's gonna be less
Costumey for people while you're in an environment with a lot of people who may not understand
vintage style or why you would want to dress this way
So it's just something to keep in mind the casualness that the girls in the 40s 50s used to wear
It was casual for a reason, and I think it might be a good option for you guys as well
And it can be a thing where if you are dressing too "distracting" you might get notes from teachers or
Higher up in the school at saying you're too distracting
I know some people in my school if they had "crazy" hair
They were told to tone it down because it was too distracting
I don't know why people can't learn while other people look cool
But apparently that's a struggle so you do want to avoid kind of that kind of attention I think
So that's another important thing to remember when you're doing vintage style at school
And so where are you gonna get vintage style clothes when you are still in high school?
Or you're just younger in general
And maybe you don't have very much money to spend on clothes or even your parents are like
I'm not buying you these crazy reproduction clothes. Maybe they're not interested in supporting your habit, which I'm sorry
That's a bummer, but hopefully you'll soon turn- you know whatever age
you need to be to work, and once you can start making your own money
Then you can decide what to buy for your clothes
And that is a good time when you get to make those decisions on your own
But if your parents are strict or your school has a dress code
I am I'm sorry about that that is a bummer. I was allowed to wear whatever
I wanted which was super awesome, and I'm really thankful for that
I wasn't allowed to bleach my hair
Which you could see I compensate by doing that now
So there was that but other than that I was allowed to kind of wear, whatever
I wanted and do whatever experiment with whatever style I wanted to so I'm really sorry for you guys who have stricter
Set of restrictions on you like that. It's- usually you can get away with wearing more vintage looks because it's quite conservative
There's usually sleeves the skirts are at least knee length or longer so you can- is- (spit it out Esposito!) -if that's
It's a lot less sexy or provocative than a lot of clothes that I know are popular in
2017 are so you might be able to get away with it just by being like but look it's so
Covered up and nice. So looking nice is a good thing so if you want to look nice that shouldn't be punished
I don't think but I know it's kind of harder sometimes when you don't get to make all your own choices
It's a super bummer, and I want to be cognizant of that because it's not great
I understand
as far as affording clothes like this or where to find them thrift stores are probably gonna be your best bet because a lot of
40s and 50s looks came back into style in the 80s, so you can find a lot of plaid
like schoolgirl skirts for example from the 80s at the thrift store or online for quite cheap
And like things like blouses and things like that are gonna be easy to find
Even in just regular stores because they're still considered work where staples for women so, if you can find button-down blouses and sweaters
Just basics that you can mix and match
Uh to create the look. And of course if you can afford to splash out go ahead and go look into Emmy Design
Sweden or Vivien of Holloway, some of the stuff from repro companies is still gonna be quite formal for like a school environment
But the basics from like House of Foxy or Collectif might really work for you
If you have that kind of budget for your wardrobe
But mostly it's gonna be thrift store, that's where I was shopping back in high school when I wanted to find unique and more vintage
looking things. So those are a few tips on sort of what styles to
Research and what to look out for when you are shopping or maybe you know when you're getting your new pair of school shoes
For the year ask for a pair of saddle shoes instead, ask for a pair of penny loafers, people are gonna think you're old-fashioned
But maybe you want to be old fashion am I right?
So you know when you come up on those purchases for the new year instead of getting a you know fleece jacket
Maybe ask for a more like pea coat kind of style just more classic vintage options that can be styled in a vintage way
So other than researching juniors and sort of teenage style
and then
where to kind of get those sort of items that you might be looking for when you do so
The other tips I have are gonna be more about confidence and just wearing what you want at school
which can be hard, especially when- it's a time where a lot of people are really trying their best to fit in or
Stand out like you have your two extremes either
You're really trying hard not to be noticed, or you're really trying hard to be only one noticed and for me
I I was wearing kind of crazy stuff, so I definitely was noticed
But I wasn't trying to be noticed so it was always kind of weird for me when I would get like comments like
"Whoa!" cuz I would like forget that I was wearing kind of a full-on look
I just- I was really lucky that when I was in high school- by the time I got into high school
I had bullied when I was younger
So I did not give two shits about what anyone thought of me by the time I got to high school
I really did not care what people thought of what I wore, and that it's of course the easiest way to wear whatever you want because
If you don't care what people think then
Then you don't have to care about what people think, so it's good. but I know that's not everyone's experience and sometimes
It's hard trying to express yourself while still wanting to not be ostracized and so
More subtle vintage looks are totally unattainable
Maybe you don't want to wear a bright red lipstick to school like a lot of people aren't gonna be wearing lipstick in school
So it will make you stand out, and you know you don't have to wear red lipstick to be a vintage gal
There's lots of- especially when you're looking at these reference images of younger people back in the 40s and 50s
They're not going to be wearing the full-on glam makeup look
It was actually still considered quite inappropriate, inappropriate for teenagers to wear makeup back then. If you were a "good girl"
You probably wouldn't be wearing very much makeup
But on the same hand if you want to go all-out with the hair and makeup if you want to look like Dita Von Teese (Burlesque star)
Not- I mean don't strip at school-, but like if you want to do the full-on glam at school, go for it
I mean, it's all about having
Confidence and even if you don't have the confidence fake
It just wear it, rock it
and if people are like gig- I had teenagers giggling at me at Target the other day when I was walking at Target and I was
Just like giggle all you want guys, I'm having a great time! So like that's kind of the way you have to
structure your mentality around
Getting the confidence to just go in looking how you want. And like you have to remember,
And I'm sure people will tell you this all the time, if you're in school like
This isn't gonna matter real soon like I know it's the it is your reality at this point
And it's all you've got for the next whatever many years if you're stuck in school
but it's important to
Know that this will end and like those people who giggle at you or who look down on you for being a little bit different
Are just not going to matter and you're gonna have completely separate lives in them shortly
so it's just better to ignore people like that and you do you and
Go as strong as you want to or blend in as much as you want to you know like I know it's important for some
People to not stand out, and if you still want to like have some vintage touches. You know grab a cute cardigan
Maybe wear skirts a little more often
But like don't go all out... or go all out, either way
I, I think it's just about faking it, that confidence, if you don't actually have it
But I understand like it's hard. It's a hard environment for sure and, it's no one's, no one's favorite time
And I promise it ends. And then as far as college and university goes, people really don't care
I don't think as much most people are like barely rolling out of bed
So people are super casual like a lot people are in their pajamas, so if you're really dolled up, again people are gonna
Ask you like oh if you have an audition today? You have an interview today? but other than that. I think people appreciate
That kind of unique quality even more in college and university
So I don't think you have to worry about dressing differently
from the norm in college unless you're like really interested in being in a sort of a sorority or
a conforming environment, which if you are then?
Why?
Reconsider
I know I've had a couple of comments saying that
Your parents won't let you wear your nicer clothes to school
Because like skirts and dresses are obviously considered more formal
In our day and age than they were back in the forties and 50s when that was considered everyday wear
It might be good to print out some pictures or show your parents or your guardians or whoever's buying your school clothes, before you get
A job and can do that yourself,
what kind of look you're going after so they understand like you're going after a more classic kind of a
little bit more formal
But in a good way, like a wait a good way to present yourself- being well-dressed is a good way to
present yourself to the world and to college interviews or
Job interviews and things like that, so being well dressed is never a bad thing. I don't think so
Hopefully you can get people on your side
I understand if you can't that is a super bummer, but these are some of my tips
Hopefully some of this video was helpful and not too rambley as I tend to be, but I have been there
So I just wanted to give you guys my take on that and I hope some of this was helpful
And I'll see you guys again soon. Bye
this is gonna be a lot of the sound of my kimono, so I apologize in advance if you guys can hear the swish of
the kimono (fabric rustling sound)
too bad
