Olimpik team USSR

Speaking of sportswear, it is impossible not to mention such an important and functional thing as an Olympic shirt. Fashion on this type of clothing put Olympiika team of the USSR 50s. For the second time, Olympiyki ascended to the wave of popularity in the 80-90s of the last century.

Speaking about it now, it is impossible not to ask the question: “USSR Olympic Games: retro or vintage?”. We should recall the main differences between these areas.

Retro style refers to the images of the past and the reproduction of these images or recognizable elements of them. The traditional is the division into ten-year periods, which allows us to speak about the averaged "fashion of the 20s, 30s" and other years. In this case, we should not forget that following the image in a retro style means not only the selection of clothes, but also the corresponding hairstyle and accessories. The image should be thought out to the smallest detail so as not to look ridiculous.

Vintage, though it is based on the same appeal to the images of the past, focuses on the other. The focus is not only popularity, but also the age of the thing - a true vintage can not be younger than twenty years. The exception is non-vintage - a direction that uses artificially aged things.
