Why Choose Retro Party Dresses?

Well, to answer the question, we have to say 'because it is a one-of-a-kind.'

Anyone can go to the nearest store and find the latest trendy dress for the night. They are easy, out of the rack.

But the problem is it's not unique. For something more special, a vintage evening dress can do wonders!

Whatever the occasion may be—prom night, date night, cocktail party, wedding reception, etc., a beautiful vintage style dress is a fashion statement that will make you the centre of attention.

No one can deny that vintage is interesting; it's different and comes with exquisite designs.

Now we understand that not every one of us is dying to be the centre of attention and fashion icons. Still, vintage dresses come in so many varieties. There are literally centuries of options laying for you to choose from, along with accessories.

What Sets Retro Party Dresses Apart?

Even if you are not a fashionista, there is a vintage dress for you. Some of the aspects which set retro dresses apart from last season evening wear are:

Those Intricate Details

Those carefully done pleats, ruffles, fabric cuts, and intricate embroideries make vintage style dresses no less than haute couture clothes.

Unlike high-street clothing, vintage dresses aren't mass-produced. They won't go out of style in a few years. Even if vintage fashion is revived into trends, it isn't the same. There are differences in the stitches, materials, and cuts.

Lots of Options to Choose From

You can choose a retro party dress from any decade you prefer. It could be the flapper dresses from the 20s, the beautiful maxi dresses from the 70s or the classic fit and flare dress from the 50s.

The best part? You can mix and match however you like. For instance, choose an elegant swing dress from the 1950s and complete the outfit with pearly earrings from the 20s.

Mixing Retro with Contemporary

You can do so much with vintage fashion.

You can either go all-in—everything vintage from top to toe. This takes time and confidence to pull off. The other option is to mix contemporary fashion elements with retro dresses. This creates a vintage-inspired look.

For example, keep the clothes vintage with trendy shoes and accessories. It always works and looks amazing!

Vintage is Everlasting

Fashion as a whole is an ever-moving cycle. So, a lot of trends come back, creating newer retro trends.

Kaftans, maxi dresses, all are staples of the 70s. But now, they are must-haves for the summers.

So, buying a unique piece of vintage evening dress is like an investment. It will never be old.

Haute Couture for People

There is a certain type of elegance in wearing a retro party dress. That detailing sets your style apart from the rest.

There are dresses with beautiful sequins or beads or rhinestone detailing. If you can find one, remember that it is much better in quality than its contemporary version.

Of course, there are designer dresses, but those are beyond expensive for most of us. With vintage fashion online stores like Banned Retro, the workmanship makes them genuinely authentic.

Types of Vintage Evening Dresses

Although there are some stunning examples of retro dresses, we have made a list that is an ideal match for the occasions.

For Formal Events

Forget the evening gowns and look further into the 1920s. Find a sensuous flapper dress in black sequence.

For a full-length, opt for a beautiful off-shoulder vintage evening gown that screams Hollywood glamour. Tie your hair up in a nice, sleek bun, and don't forget the red lipstick!

For Your Special Prom Night

To make your prom night perfect, we say go for a gorgeous lace swing dress from the 1950s. This decade is full of stunning pastel shades that make for a beautiful spring prom night dress. Wear classic stilettos and some delicate jewellery.

For a Night Out/ Date Night

Keep things casual yet sexy for these nights.

Keep it chic with a nice midi dress, and pair it up with a jacket. If you want to go for a more fun look, opt for a mini dress from the 1960s.

Everyone loves to feel fabulous for a big evening.  Evening dresses are for fun and experiment. And what's better than to make it unique with vintage style dresses that speak your personality. So, for your next big evening, buy a vintage party dress.
