Women's vintage summer clothing: the hottest items and where to buy them wholesale.

When the heat arrives, we all look for the same thing: cool, stylish clothes that work for both the city and a summer getaway.

But if you also own a store or sell clothing wholesale, there's an even more important question: what kind of women's summer clothing sells best?

At Terranova, we've been selecting vintage women's clothing for summer for years.

And we've seen which items become bestsellers, which looks customers request again and again, and how you can put together an attractive catalog with authentic, affordable clothing that you don't find anywhere else.

3 complete looks to inspire your store this summer

Here are three complete outfits, inspired by this season's best-selling pieces and available in our vintage clothing stores:

Look 1: Summer getaway with effortless style

• Vintage floral print strappy maxi dress

• Basic white t-shirt underneath

• Flat sandals

Retro-style round glasses

This look combines comfort, freshness, and '90s nostalgia—a combination that sells itself. Ideal for weekend getaways or afternoon strolls. You can create a similar look with our selection of vintage dresses and university tees.

What kind of vintage clothing should you wear in summer?

Women's summer clothing has one golden rule: it should be light, comfortable, and versatile . But within that, there are many items that make a difference in terms of sales:

• Long vintage dresses : floral prints, thin straps, 90s style. They always sell well.

• Loose, cool blouses : linen, cotton, or viscose. Ideal for pairing with shorts or skirts.

• Flared midi skirts : printed or plain, with a high waist.

• Flowy or palazzo pants : highly sought after for traveling or working in style in summer.

• Vintage graphic tees : especially with 90s, college, or rock prints.

• Two-piece sets : shorts + top, skirt + blouse, very popular with younger customers.

Outfit for traveling in summer (and getting on a plane)

One of the moments when style (and comfort) is most noticeable is when traveling. That's why many stores look for clothes that can be used to create airport looks or outfits for long summer trips .

The garments that work best for this type of outfit are:

• Wide linen pants + vintage t-shirt

• Two-piece set: top + flowing pants

• Long dress with flat sandals

• Lightweight overshirt-style jackets

• Thin sweatshirts for airplanes (oversize)

Plus, many customers look for clothes with that effortless chic touch: something that looks casual but still has personality. And that's where authentic vintage clothing makes the difference .
