2022 has already rolled around, and for the vintage-crazy, that can only mean one thing – new trends!
Well, not exactly new, per se, but old trends, reappropriated, and made cool once again! However, unlike mainstream clothing trends, usually encountered in contemporary retail stores, following vintage trends is not as easy.
Firstly, once a new fashion season arrives, modern stores replace everything from the previous one with new additions. You cannot escape the trends, even if you want to!
This is not the case with vintage and thrift shops. In these shops, you can find a variety of unique vintage clothing, literally anything from all ages, all bundled up and mixed.
And while that surely has a charm of its own, worthy of a separate piece, it’s not ideal looking for particular new trend pieces.
This is why it’s important to point out the top five key vintage trends for 2022! Read this article, and you’ll know just which pieces to go for once you enter your local vintage store!
Get ready to be stylish!

Everything Denim
We’re starting off with something that’s almost always on the topmost wanted trends – denim.
Since it’s such a versatile staple, available in various colors, thicknesses, cuts, and various clothing pieces, denim always has, and probably will, always remain popular.
And that goes for 2022 as well!
Go to your local thrift store and have a good look at every vintage denim jacket and all types of vintage jeans.
Indeed, embroidered backs might not be as hot as they were until a few years ago, but if you find the perfect denim piece, we’re sure you’ll be able even to pull that off!
And the same goes for something like 1970s bootcut jeans. Bootcut trousers have slowly started to make a comeback, but they’re not quite there yet; a perfect opportunity for you to take over the role of a trendsetter!
Find a pair you feel most comfortable in, and check if its quality is good and if it suits you well!
Going All Out Americana
Similarly, another trend that’s quite big for 2022 is a kind of Americana visage. Think Levi’s, think rugged yet somewhat relaxed, layered pieces, think Coach, or the even Banana Republic.
Embrace that working-class American Dream aesthetic because it’s pretty big this year!
And it does go hand in hand with the whole denim thing. Both let us know that the more experimental yet lax silhouettes are still standing strong and not giving way to more classically formal ones, with slim, strictly cut suits.
There’s no better way to be trendy than to embrace the Gen Z way of thinking, and that’s all about simultaneously paying homage to vintage styles while also rebelling against a Millenial and Gen X culture.
And this is done, ideally, by appropriating the Americana fashion trends – of course, adapted to your style.
The Mid 2000s Are Your New Vintage Friend
Yet another surprisingly cool fashion trend, but also somewhat melancholically sad, is the mid-2000s vintage fashion popularity. We know the 2000s still feel like yesterday, yet they’ve found their way onto vintage lists.
But, time flies fast, and with it, many things change – including trends.
Thus, we’re moving away from the retro trends of the 70s, 80s, and 90s to bring back into the spotlight low-cut jeans, in-your-face trends, neon colors, and experimental pieces not afraid to look “ugly” to make a statement!
The 2000s were a true color and style chaos festival, in either the best or the worst way possible, depending on who you ask.
A mixture of grunge and rock and hip-hop aesthetic mixed in with a bit of classic elegance and some pop bubble-gum characterizes such trends, and you can try to emulate them even now!
Back in the Sixties
On the other hand, the wheel of fashion fortune simultaneously turns in the opposite direction, which is how we get almost full circle back in the past, all the way into the 60s.
Yes, that’s right – this year’s trends see us mixing and matching the 00s with the 60s!
Classic, feminine (or masculine) silhouettes, with a bit of a futuristic and alien dimension to them, mixed with the hyper-grounded, dance-y aesthetic of the early 21st century?
The perfect playground for experimentation!
The best thing, though, is the ability to take some of the more subtle styles and make them chic today!
For example, something like the mod dresses – aren’t they the epitome of feminine nonchalance? Walking elegantly, dressed in a cool, breezy dress with no firm structure, embracing your comfort and empowerment?
It doesn’t get any better than that!
Outdoors Lingerie
Except, perhaps, when you think of how to make yourself feel even more comfortable and empowered and decide to start wearing your lingerie outdoors.
Lingerie trends are still remaining, especially when it comes to vintage combinations that’ll blow people’s minds away!
Mix up your classic suit and skirt outfit with an open corset underneath, showing off some skin!
Turn a retro lingerie item into an elegant night-out piece that’ll make you feel as comfortable in your skin as you’ve ever felt!
2022 vintage fashion trends allow you to do that!
Closing Words
As you can see, this year, too, looks like it’s going to be quite a fun one in terms of fashion and style.
Vintage clothes are easy to find, and you can find some delightful retro pieces at affordable prices right now!
Whether you go for the denim-Americana vibe, the 60s meet the 00s vibe or the provocative lingerie one; you won’t regret it!
What are you waiting for – jump right into the future!
