The Ladylike Vintage Classics Trend: How To Get The Look For Less

One of our top 9 Fall 2024 fashion trends is what we call “Ladylike Vintage Classics” and it’s perfect for women over 50, but we love seeing younger women embrace it too. This trend isn’t about stiff, constrictive vintage pieces—it’s all about comfort and ease, which we adore! Slip into a midi skirt or dress, add a pair of low kitten heels or boots, grab a small handbag and you’re effortlessly stylish.

To elevate the look, try adding ladylike touches like a ribbon belt or ruched elbow gloves in a soft pastel hue for a chic, runway-inspired vibe. I’ll show you how to style the Ladylike Vintage Classics Trend without breaking the bank!

Here are some of my favorites from the fall 2024 runways. These ladylike looks are reminiscent of the 40s, 50s and 60s in easy-to-wear silhouettes, styled with a more modern approach. At Prada, an a-line midi skirt was shown with a classic black turtleneck sweater and pointy-toe kitten heel pumps. A classic 60s 2-piece skirt and shell silhouette was featured at Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini and elbow length gathered gloves in powder blue and tall boots completed a full skirted tiered vintage print dress at Chanel.

Get the Ladylike Vintage Classics Look For Less

Sure, you can get the designer pieces straight off the runways but you can find similar fashion for less. I like to get inspired by what we see in designer collections and style outfits with similar pieces. This way you can make the look more your own, and save a lot of cash, too.
