September has always been synonymous with the turning of fashion trends. As we shed our summer skin, the fashion realm witnesses a palpable shift towards cozier and nostalgic items. This September, the trendsetters aren’t the haute couture runways, but the digital shelves of MyOnlineThriftStore.com.

The online platform, which has been steadily climbing the popularity ladder among sustainable fashion enthusiasts, has noticed a significant surge in the demand for retro pieces. From flared jeans reminiscent of the '70s to iconic '90s platform shoes, shoppers are keen on revisiting fashion's golden years.

The Retro Rush

As per the latest insights, searches for "vintage graphic tees" saw an impressive 60% hike in the past month alone. Oversized blazers, another staple from yesteryears, are being snatched up at an equally swift pace.

Why the Nostalgia?

Experts speculate a few reasons. Firstly, the global situation has many yearning for simpler times, and fashion serves as a tactile form of escapism. Secondly, with sustainability at the forefront, consumers are veering towards thrifted goods, reducing environmental impacts associated with fast fashion.

Styling Tips for September

If you're looking to jump on the retro wagon, here are some tips:

• Pair flared jeans with modern crop tops for a balanced look.
• Accessorize with chunky jewelry.
• Mix and match patterns - think polka dots with stripes.
• Finish the look with a statement belt or a vintage handbag.
