Brand-new - conspicuously new; "shiny brand-new shoes". Being in a fresh and unused condition; completely new."

Vintage clothing is recycled, previously worn garments with a broad range of style, as it includes clothing from around the world and as old as the turn of the century to present day.

Vintage has great appeal in many different ways." "It's a term used to refer to clothing over a certain age, traditionally, antique. The term is more loosely used these days and refers to clothing prior to the 1950s.

Pieces of vintage clothing are almost always one of a kind finds. Clothing after 1950 is commonly referred to as Retro."

I have to pick, I will have to go with vintage. Nothing beats the pride of one-of-a-kind pieces with a great story background.

Give me older pieces. Things that have a story and a style of their own. Does not have to be 'vintage' or heirloom unless it is a tomato of course. New things are not practical in many ways so they normally do not appeal to me at all. I find many older things at the church rummage sales that I go to.

Those are expensive items, those vintage ones. I'll go for brand new. They are less expensive and it will be easy to decide which one to take. There are colors I prefer, sizes and style to choose one. That will be fine.

I think vintage clothing are very good. Often it will not fit me, as I am not the most petite woman. If I could I would buy more of it - really good to be the only one with just that garment, I agree

I agree teison, most of the vintage clothing still around is for super petite frames. It so irks me because there are so many vintage styles that I find that I just love.

I love vintage cars. They are more beautiful and more durable. I have known many rich people who have a collection of antique cars.

I love vintage clothing, as you say it can be very appealing. It also gives us a chance to dress with original clothes without having to spend a fortune.
Unfortunately, vintage clothing is difficult to find where I live, so I do buy new clothes as well.
I don´t buy anything just because it´s merely fashionable though. It must be something that suits me.

I prefer to pair new clothes with all-vintage excessories, or else wear a vintage blazer and new jeans with some mod excessories and vintage shoes.

I like a lot of things but if I had to pick I guess I would choose brand new.:)

I prefer vintage too.Have you seen how carefully and skillfully old and good clothes are made?
If you look inside an old dress,all the seams are properly finished off and taped over. That is real workmanship.
I have a book about dressmaking which shows proper finishing off, that people just wouldn't bother about nowadays.

I'm all about vintage too. I love cardigans, corduroy jeans, crocheted clothing, and really unusual pieces that I couldn't find elsewhere.

Also, I really don't believe in buying everything brand new. I'm BIG into the second-hand shopping. It saves so much money, and stops a lot of things from just going to the dump, where they wind up as landfill.

Furniture, household items, clothing - I buy nearly everything second-hand, but I'm funny on a few things.

I will not buy secondhand: mattress or any kind of bedding, microwaves, furniture with fabrics (I've bought second hand leather and vinyl furniture, but I won't buy cloth furniture used), shoes - I'm very weird about feet, so I buy my shoes new.

I'm a weirdo like that:)

i prefer vintage. i've always been into history, i consider myself an antiquarian, i devote myself to the thrill of digging up whatever i can from the past. there. and nostalgia is a bittersweet, close, very close companion of mine. sorry if i ventured into anything but concretely vintage. the term itself evokes abstraction and surrealism in me, i don't know.
