vintage - Characterized by excellence, maturity, and enduring appeal; classic. Old or outmoded.
so vintage is just old pieces of clothing from past decades like '70s which you cant find in modern clothes now? and the only way to get vintage clothes is through secondhand shops? (link)

Vintage can be anything from the 70's to the 1900's. Anything that has atleast a couple decades on it can be considered vintage. Second hand stores are great places to get vintage clothing, but that doesnt rule out clothing companies today. It's incredible how much of todays fashion is inspired by past decades, jewelry especially. The baby doll and short flowy dresses girls have been donning this past winter with leggings take from the mod era, and the long high waisted "bell bottoms" you've seen Katie Holmes in is straight out of the 70's. Do some research on which decade is for you (mixing can be bad) and pick colors and silohuettes reminiscent of the vintage your trying to pick up. Never go full out vintage though, you want to look like your bringing an style back, not like your stuck in that style.
