Vintage clothing refers to those clothing articles that were produced between 1920s and 1960s while retro clothing covers the items that reproduce or imitate the style of a previous era. So a definition of the retro fashion would say that it’s an outdated style, culturally speaking, that covers postmodern creativity. At some point this style managed to infiltrate several sectors of post-modern society such as art, advertising, mass media, the clothing industry, and so on. The word itself derives from the Latin prefix “retro” which means backwards or in past times. As for our point of interest in today’s topic, the retro fashion includes “outdated” items such as leather handbags dating back in the 50s, fedoras, big sunglasses, jackets, skinny jeans, dresses, etc. So here’s our list of ten retro dresses for women.

10. Motown White Dress
