While “vintage” is commonly used to refer to all old clothing, items a century old or more can be considered antique, while those at least twenty years old are vintage. Retro, short for retrospective, or “vintage style,” usually refers to clothing that simulates the style of a previous era. Reproduction, clothing is a newly made copy of an older garment. Clothing produced more recently is usually called  modern  or  contemporary  fashion.
