Between 20 and 100 years ago
A generally accepted industry standard is that items made between 20 and 100 years ago are considered "vintage" if they clearly reflect the styles and trends of the era they represent.
Popular examples of vintage clothing worn today are the tie-dye tees of the 1970s, shoulder-padded blazers of the 1980s and grungy plaid flannels of the 1990s. It's important to know that clothing created before 1920 is not considered vintage, but is instead dubbed antique clothing.

Vintage fashion has seen a reemergence in popularity within the 21st century due to increased prevalence of vintage pieces in the media and among celebrities, as well as consumer interests in sustainability and slow fashion

With the rise of the digital world and social media, the consumption of Vintage clothing has rapidly expanded, with e-commerce websites leading to growth in consumer accessibility of vintage pieces.
