With every generation comes a new style of distinguished fashion. Every generation seemingly creates and distinguishes the lifestyle of a particular period in time. With this in mind it seems slightly odd that vintage clothes remain a strong trend in modern era. Is it the authenticity of the style that ensures its demand? The passing of time combined with classical designs, artistic creations wherein it becomes a collector's item or a piece to be worn with pride. Could it quite simply be that it's the labels of designer clothes that contributes to its seemingly eternal existence? Let us start from the very core of non-contemporary clothing. These garments are originally created and designed before 1900s until late 1980s. These are clothes that are called to be extinct or attires that are not being produced for the modern times. There are lots of variety in fashion and style under this kind of clothing. Starting from the bodice dresses of Victorian period, the hand-embroidered garments and lace boleros of Edwardian time, the Titanic tea dresses, the flapper fashion of 1920s, the 1930s skirts, the 40s and 50s swing dresses, the culottes, shorts, and pants of 1960s, disco fashion of 70s, and the expressive fashion of 80s. Vintage clothing certainly brings a diversity to our wardrobes from almost all ages. How about the designer clothes? Having it labelled, identifying blueprint of a particular designer, signature, logo, these are some of the trademarks of designer clothes. The distinctive styling of it generates the constancy of its wearers. Bringing vintage pieces together with modern pieces can sometimes be an art in itself. Lyle and Scott has become one of the most sought after designer clothing of today. Its golden eagle logo encompasses the realm of fashion with its vintage collection becoming recognised due to its authentic quality. Lyle and Scott vintage collection includes knitwear, polo shirts and jackets for both men and women. The boldness of vintage clothes, not only surviving modern times but also being on the height of it. These vintage clothes and designer clothes stand still even in amidst of time.

One of the most troublesome aspects of women's clothes shopping that most females encounter is not that there is not enough variety, but that nothing seems to look good on them. The clothes might be too tight in one area and too loose in another or the dress may fit perfectly but it may make you look, for want of a better phrase, frumpy. Although you may not want to stand out from the crowd and be a modern fashionista, you do not want to blend in either and finding the right clothes to help you do this can be particularly frustrating. Fortunately, there is an answer and it is extremely easy to understand. The most important piece of information that a female can possess when shopping for womens clothes is knowing what type of body shape they are. Although the television celebrities Trinny and Susannah explained in October 2007 to the Daily Mail newspaper that they believed there were 12 individual body shapes, it is widely accepted that there are simply four primary shapes and understanding which one you are can make shopping for womens clothes a whole lot easier. 1. Banana. According to a study of 6,000 women by the North Carolina State University in 2005, this is by far the most common body shape, with 46 percent of those studied having a banana body shape. A woman who has a banana body shape will not have any major accentuations, with the majority of their weight being on their stomach, bum and chest. 2. Pear. Big on the bottom and small on top, this is another common body size, with a fifth of those women studied by North Carolina State University having a pear body shape. Wide hips and large legs feature in a pear body shape, which can cause some problems when looking for trousers. The upper body, however, most women would die for, as they feature a comfortably sized bust and toned arms. 3. Apple. The main features of a woman with an apple body shape are the opposite of a pear body shape as they are generally big on top and slim on bottom. The majority of the weight a woman with an apple body shape gains is noticeable on their face, chest and stomach, whilst their legs tend to stay relatively slim. 4. Hourglass. The fourth body shape (which is actually the least popular, according to the North Carolina State University, contrary to popular belief) is the one that many women aspire to have and features a big bust, slim waist, large hips and surrounding area and slim legs (although the thighs can be large, on occasion). This information may seem useless when first looking at it, as although you may believe that, for example, you are an apple shape, you are unsure about what clothes suit you. The solution is simple and you should look for women's clothes that detract from what would be considered your weaker points (your stomach, in the case of an apple shape) and that accentuate your positive points (your bust and ankles, for an apple body shape).
