Get ready to turn heads and stop hearts as we dive into the must-haves that will have you rocking that vintage Vixen vibe with a wink and a smile.

  • The Perfect Pin Up Hair: Mastering Victory Rolls, Pin Curls, and Bumper Bangs

  • Whether you're preparing for a fabulous night of dancing, a glamorous photoshoot, or even rocking pin up-inspired cosplay costumes at a convention, mastering the art of victory rolls, pin curls, and bumper bangs is a must. 

    These iconic hairstyles will have you looking like a true bombshell in no time, oozing vintage charm and leaving jaws dropping in your wake. So grab your teasing comb, bobby pins, and hairspray because we're about to embark on a cheeky journey to hair heaven, where cosplays meet classic pin ups!

    First up, victory rolls. These babies are the ultimate show-stoppers and can instantly transport you back to the era of swing and rockabilly. Picture it: you strut into a room adorned in your meticulously crafted pin up outfit or a sassy cosplay that pays homage to your favorite characters,  victory rolls proudly perched atop your head. They scream confidence, sass, and a dash of mischief. 

    To achieve this style, section off your hair, tease it like there's no tomorrow, and start rolling those sections towards your scalp, securing them with bobby pins. The higher, the better! Remember to add a generous spritz of hairspray for that extra hold because we don't want those rolls unraveling!

    Next, on the pin up hair menu, we have pin curls. These lovely little curls are the epitome of vintage glamour, and they can transform your locks into a cascade of luscious waves that would make even Marilyn Monroe envious. Pin curls are versatile and can be worn in various ways, whether you're aiming for a classic half-up, half-down look or you want to let those curls loose and bounce with every step. 

    You'll need a curling iron or hot rollers, some patience, and a knack for wrapping sections of hair around your finger and securing them in place with bobby pins.

    Pro tip: let those curls cool completely before releasing them for a longer-lasting hold and extra va-va-voom.

    Last but not least, we have the sassy and attention-grabbing bumper bangs. These bold bangs are the secret weapon of pin up hair, adding a playful flair to your overall look. Bumper bangs can elevate any outfit, whether it's a sultry pin up ensemble or a character cosplay that's all about attitude. 

    For this style, section off your bangs, tease them to create volume, and then roll them backward and secure them with bobby pins, creating a mini-bump on your forehead. Don't be afraid to experiment with different sizes and heights to find the perfect bumper bangs that suit your face shape and personal style.

  • Stockings and Garters: Hosiery Essentials for a Sexy Pin Up Look

  • Unleash your inner seductress with a cheeky twist as we delve into the tantalizing world of stockings and garters — the hosiery essentials for a jaw-droppingly sexy pin up look. So whether you're strutting your stuff in a sensationally sultry pin up outfit or adding a dash of retro charm to your cosplay costumes, these leg-enhancing wonders are here to take your style game to the next level. 

    Let's start with stockings. These little beauties are the epitome of vintage allure, hugging your legs in silky smooth goodness and leaving admirers weak at the knees. The key to achieving that pin up perfection lies in choosing the right style. Opt for classic seamed stockings with a seductive back seam that elongates your legs and adds a touch of retro glamour. 

    Alternatively, fishnet stockings can add a dash of playful naughtiness to your ensemble, perfect for both pin up-inspired outfits and character cosplays that demand a hint of seduction. Pair your stockings with a perfectly fitted garter belt because nothing screams vintage vixen quite like a well-placed garter strap.

    Now, let's talk garters. These delightful little accessories not only hold up your stockings but also add an extra layer of sexiness to your pin up ensemble or cosplay costumes. When choosing a garter belt, choose one that cinches your waist and accentuates those killer curves. 

    Opt for bold, eye-catching designs with lace, bows, or even a cheeky hint of leather if you're feeling extra daring. Remember, the garter belt is more than just a functional accessory — it's a statement piece that demands attention.

  • Show-Stopping Swimsuits: Pin Up Style for the Beach or Poolside

  • Hold onto your beach towels because we're about to dive into the delightful world of show-stopping swimsuits that bring pin up style to the beach or poolside. Whether you're looking to make waves in a stunning pin up-inspired ensemble or flaunt your favorite character cosplays by the water, these swimsuits are here to ensure you turn heads and leave jaws dropping. Get ready to unleash your inner beach bombshell with a cheeky twist where cosplays meet classic pin ups!

    When it comes to pin up style swimsuits, it's all about celebrating those curves and embracing your body with confidence. Think figure-flattering silhouettes, retro prints, and a touch of vintage glam. One classic option is the high-waisted bikini, which accentuates your waistline and highlights those killer curves. Channel your inner Marilyn Monroe or Betty Grable as you soak up the sun, radiating pin up allure from every angle. 

    Be bold and choose vibrant colors or playful polka dots to make a splash and show off your personality.

    For those who prefer a one-piece swimsuit, fear not, because pin up style has got you covered! Opt for a swimsuit with ruching or strategically placed panels that accentuate your assets while providing a touch of modesty. 

    Sweetheart necklines, halter necks, or off-the-shoulder styles are perfect for adding a dash of vintage elegance to your beach or poolside look. Let your inner pin up shine through as you embody the spirit of classic bombshells, exuding confidence and a hint of mischief.

  • Shoe-licious Style: Pin Up Girl Footwear and Accessories

  • Hold onto your heels, ladies, because we're about to step into the amazing world of shoe-licious style, where pin up girl footwear and accessories take center stage. Whether you're strutting your stuff in a sensational pin up ensemble or adding a touch of character to your cosplay costumes, these shoes and accessories are here to elevate your style game with a cheeky twist. Get ready to unleash your inner fashionista and conquer the world, one glamorous step at a time, where cosplays meet classic pin ups!

    Let's kick things off with the iconic pin up girl footwear: heels, heels, and more heels! High heels are the ultimate weapon in a pin up girl's arsenal, instantly elongating your legs and adding a touch of va-va-voom to your every stride. 

    Channel your inner Bettie Page or Dita Von Teese as you slip into a pair of classic pumps or sassy stilettos. Opt for styles with peep toes or slingbacks for that extra dash of flirtatiousness. Go bold with vibrant colors or playful patterns like polka dots or leopard prints to make a statement that demands attention wherever you go.

    If you prefer a more comfortable option without compromising style, don't fret! Vintage-inspired flats and sandals are here to save the day. From cute ballet flats adorned with bows or retro-inspired T-straps to comfy wedges that offer both style and support, these shoe-licious alternatives are perfect for long days of cosplay conventions or casual outings where you want to rock that pin up flair with ease. 

    Choose designs that incorporate elements of your favorite characters into the shoe design, seamlessly merging the worlds of cosplays and pin ups.

    Of course, no pin up girl ensemble is complete without the right accessories. When it comes to shoe-licious style, remember to jazz up your footwear with fabulous additions. Think ankle bracelets, bows, or even shoe clips adorned with feathers, rhinestones, or miniature vintage trinkets. These eye-catching details add a playful touch to your shoes, transforming them into little works of art that demand attention.
