There are two main types of vintage sweaters, real vintage sweaters and the redundant sounding “new” vintage sweaters. Real vintage sweaters are sweaters that are obviously from a time in the past. A little looksee on Ebay will reveal sweaters from the 1920′s to the 1970′s easily and most at very affordable prices.
Another great place to find vintage sweaters are resale shops and thrift stores but the quality may definitely be second hand looking.
New vintage sweaters refers to sweaters that are made in the present but based on a vintage design and often vintage fibers will be used in the creation of the sweater. One of the most popular time periods for new vintage sweaters designs are the 1940′s and the 1950′s. Along with a bullet bra, a woman can pull off a totally vintage “Sweater Girl” look that was once so popular.
