Want the pinup look? Here’s a beginners guide to shopping the pinup way!

Pinups are the biggest retro thrill right now. Everybody is clamoring for that 1950’s look. To get you started, I’ve decided to compile a list of some awesome online shops, covering all the majors. From the clothes, to the shoes to the garters. Ready your bookmarks girls! (And you spunky boys )

Retro and Vintage Clothing

A poodle dress, a pencil skirt, ¾ pants and other thrilling pieces of vintage are all the rage. They’ll give you that 1950’s flare, wether you’re wearing garters or not.

The top 3 retro shops are Pin up Girl Clothing, Babygirl Boutique and my personal favorite, the environmentally conscious Enamore. All three are highly styled and can pretty much complete the look for you, with accessories and shoes. If your a dabbler, they also provide solutions for those, who don’t want the complete look- just the feel.

#10 The Detail

I’m a sucker for good craftsmanship. Most people are. As an art student you learn to appreciate abstract art and god knows I love it, but there is always a special place in my heart for that artist that can really draw convincing fingernails and get deep into the garter-clasp details.
