To talk about belonging to something from another era, we often use the term vintage, an example completely by chance: "wow your vintage Seconde Vue glasses are really very beautiful!". But there are other terms with negative connotations like "old-fashioned" or "out of fashion" here we will talk about "vintage" but also "retro".
But then, why these terms? and above all, what is the difference?
Vintage style
Why do people love vintage so much?
Making something new out of something old, something beautiful out of something ugly, is a principle that is not very new and yet very current. Obviously vintage belongs to a time frame but nevertheless poorly defined, not everyone agrees.
However, a style or fashion is considered vintage when it is related to the second half of the 20th century. When we talk about vintage, the connotation is positive; wearing vintage glasses is trendy!

Retro style
Retro is a synonym for vintage. However, it rather describes objects and fashions from the first half of the 20th century, some include the 60s. It is a style in its own right that refers to the manufacturing of the Roaring Twenties. The retro style involves extravagant designs and lots of colors.
