8 Style Hacks I Swear By For Making Vintage Pieces Look Fresh and Modern - POPSUGAR Australia

My interest in vintage fashion has ebbed and flowed over the years. In high school, one of my most prized possessions was a pair of vintage Chanel aviators that may or may not have been real (I preferred to think the former). In college, I was all about the dig at places like Buffalo Exchange and local thrift shops. Since moving to New York, I've done some serious damage at outdoor bazaars and my favourite local haunt, Housing Works (a nonprofit thrift store with locations throughout the city), happening upon designer gems like an ankle-grazing Gucci leather coat, a pearl-and-rhinestone-adorned Max Mara jacket, and many no-name treasures from leather pants to oversize blazers and costume jewellery.

Right now, I'm in a major flow period when it comes to vintage clothing and accessories, which means my shopping tactics have taken to the interwebs. I love re-commerce sites like The RealReal and Vestiaire Collective where I frequently search for designer accoutrements like belts, boots, and coats. When it comes to pre-loved luxury goods, places like Fashionphile and What Goes Around Comes Around are absolute treasure troves (both with reputations for a thorough authentication process). I even love the occasional eBay or Etsy binge (you can count on both these sites having incredible deals on way-back fashion).

With circular fashion and the part it plays with regard to sustainability being a top topic these days, I've become more eager than ever to showcase my vintage shopping prowess. Lately, I've been swarmed with questions from friends, co-workers, and Instagram connections on where I find my best pieces, how I select products, and my tricks for making every piece feel modern and not outdated. So, I'm spilling some of my secrets by way of eight vintage pieces I wore to New York Fashion Week this season. While I didn't wear vintage head-to-toe, I made a concerted effort to style every outfit around a vintage piece I loved.

Scroll on to see how I did. Plus, shop some of my exact pieces as well as similar styles to recreate any one of these outfits on your own.

Are You Supposed to Remove Plastic Earring Backs? | POPSUGAR Fashion - POPSUGAR

When 19-year-old Twitter user Chelsea Smith made an unexpected discovery about her earrings, a single tweet sent the Internet into a controversial spiral reminiscent of "The Dress." After figuring out that the plastic backs on her earrings were removable, the woman snapped side-by-side photos for her followers, never expecting that her realization would go viral.

Smith received countless responses from other amazed Twitter users, some even going so far as to declare that they'd been "living [their] whole life wrong." However, as news about the "discovery" spread, many people spoke up, voicing that you're actually not supposed to remove those backings. The clear plastic portion is indeed removable but exists to provide support for your earlobes when wearing large, heavy earrings — in fact, the backs often stop jewelry from stretching out or tearing your lobes.

So before you go taking the supportive backs off of all your earrings, be sure to weigh the pros and cons; while ditching the plastic portion of your favorite pair might feel liberating or work better for small earlobes, it makes your ear piercings more susceptible to damage. If you were too hasty in removing your supportive backs and now regret it, don't fret! You can buy new backs (plastic still attached!) on Etsy.
