retrofashion

Old-look clothing trend

Retrofashion is clothing or style that deliberately evokes past decades—typically the 1950s through 1990s.

The term covers both authentic vintage pieces and new items designed to look old: Her retrofashion aesthetic is pure 1970s disco.

Unlike vintage, which implies actual age, retrofashion emphasizes the deliberate choice to dress in outdated styles.
