At a time when trends change at lightning speed, some pieces manage to stand the test of time. They go through decades, get reinvented season after season, and keep that unique charm that only authenticity can bring.
This summer, relaxed silhouettes, natural fabrics, and timeless cuts feel more relevant than ever. At La Mode Vintage, we’ve put together a selection of essentials: vintage pieces chosen for their quality, history, and lasting style.
The lavallière blouse
Soft, lightweight, and a little poetic, the lavallière blouse is a real summer staple. Made from airy fabrics, it’s perfect for hot days and the heatwaves that are now part of Parisian and French summers.
Babies Chanel
It’s hard to talk about summer essentials without mentioning the iconic Chanel babies. With their delicate shape, elegant straps, and retro feel, they strike the perfect balance between chic and relaxed.
This style feels both classic and modern, and reflects how luxury fashion keeps evolving without losing its roots. That’s part of why babies shoes have become such a standout piece.
Whether in patent leather, two-tone versions, or softly worn vintage pairs, they never really go out of style. They work just as well with a summer dress as they do with vintage denim or linen trousers.
You can spot them on Bella Hadid, Charlotte Cardin, and all our favorite “summer girls”. (Eva Queen, we’re still waiting for you.)
Let florals transform me
This summer, flowers aren’t something you pick, they’re something you wear.
Forget the cliché of romantic florals: this season, they come back as a statement. On flowy dresses with a 90s feel, on Chanel sandals, or as floral details like knots and accents… they show up everywhere, but never in the same way.
They’re not too sweet, not too classic — they’ve become a way of styling, an attitude. And of course, we’ve curated a vintage selection inspired by this floral mood.
