We Tell You Everything About the Retro Look for Men

What if you offered a trip back in time? Since fashion follows the evolution of society while being an eternal recommencement, we regularly see reappearing looks that have made fury in the past decades. In men, the retro look of the 1950s is always popular. But it's not enough to bring out the clothes of your father or grandfather to have a beautiful vintage style. You have to have the right accessories and the right clothes to get to the class. In short, follow the guide!

Understand the retro fashion for men

Why a retro trend? We talk about retro or vintage when we draw in the dressing rooms of our parents or grandparents to create a look "contemporary past".

A little more explanation? As we have said, the past decades have been so rich in creations that we can inspire and update their looks. Without the tax of "counterfeit" or pale copy, the retro trend can finish what our ancestors have not had time to do and take for stars like James Dean, Elvis Presley or Richard Burton ...

In this little game of time travel, men's fashion puts the spotlight on the looks of the 30's, 50's and 60's. But we notice that the further we go in time and the more the 1970s to the 90s come back to point the tip of their nose. So, it's up to you!

The look of the 1930s

Imagine yourself in Al Capone's Chicago. The black market and prohibition reign supreme, the black Thursday of 1929 have wreaked havoc. But not on the look of men. To blend in completely with the decor, you need a white shirt fitted or adjusted (the right cut of the time is to forget, we must live with our time).

The costume was classic. Choose it in dark tweed color. To finalize your look of the 30s, you need a jacket, suspenders and men leather wallets. A tie is not necessary, but a silk scarf for the bad boy side of the beautiful neighborhoods. You are equal to idols of the Roaring Twenties!

The look of the 1950s

Ah, the 1950s! A time when people wanted renewal and forget the horrors of war. With our freedom, our American neighbors have landed with rock and jeans in their packages. The Elvis years are running. The myth of James Dean too.

To adapt well to the movements, find your high school years. A jeans Levi's 501 straight cut will be the key piece of this look. We add a plain cotton and spandex t-shirt, put under a university style jacket.

To put on your shoes? Nothing more simple, the pair of Converse that sits in your dressing room. It is absolutely necessary to have a pair of white or black, it is an indispensable. For a touch more sought after, you can add to this look of the 50s  leather cheap backpacks. You are dressed to visit a new era!  

The look of the 1960s

The revolution is on. Men are uninhibited and dare to put forward their forms. The trousers "legs of Eph" points the tip of his nose. For today's man, not that, but flared jeans. The Bootcut style will do the trick.

For the rest of our retro look? We also forget the very slim shirts in satin and shovel collar. You have to know how to learn from the mistakes of the past. We keep the slim of the shirt and we add a small classic Italian collar. But we embellish it all with a silk scarf with paisley pattern.

Finally, for a perfect look of the 60s and a well-established outfit at the time, do not forget the "kitsch" touch: a vest in large wool knit short leather jacket. And here you are, propelled to the heart of the hippie years!

Purple, Fashionable Color in 2018

Purple rain, purple rain ... A little tribute to the prince of pop by the way and here we are immersed in the heart of the future trend 2018 (and even 2019): purple! Do not be afraid, gentlemen, and do not forget the good resolutions you have taken: we try before saying that we do not like. You will see that it is very easy to tame this men wholesale clothing trend. Just let go!

A sweet purple sweater

With these temperatures, a good sweater well cocooning, it cheers up. I also decided to offer you a dress a little more pointed than usual. To go there thoroughly!

So we take a turtleneck sweater with big twisted lilac color to start well. I wanted a coat that was out of the ordinary. That's why I selected a white and black model that you can wear with black slim jeans. The quilted white sneakers without lace are the small piece that will give the final touch to your "so trendy" outfit. A kind of little bonus!

A purple coat that slams

When we dare purple, we go all the way! No place to half measure. And I went hard with this purple satin bomber. As much to warn you, it will have to assume! I wanted to play the color chart by adding a dark blue chino. I could have proposed an olive green or khaki model, but I found it a little too easy.

For the rest of the silhouette, we will go on a basic by combining a white shirt and a gray crewneck sweater and camouflage print on the sleeves. A very strong model but that matches well with the pants. I would add a small white shirt to slice with the side too streetwear.

Finally, let's not forget the shoes: a pair of gray suede boots will do very well.

Color combinations to wear purple

I am well aware that it is not easy to marry purple. That's why I had the idea of this little guide of associations of tints to allow you to locate you well.

Already, you can remove yellow, red and brown from the men wholesale clothing rule list. For me, these are stylistic aberrations. Conversely, you can note safe values such as black, blue and green.

And then, there are also more daring marriages. Violet and orange, for example: hard to imagine but I assure you it's a great success. The tone of your purple and purple and the combo purple / wine-wine are also to keep in memory.

And of course, classic combinations like black/ purple/white or purple/ navy/gray are great for beginners.

The tendency for the trend, you know it's not my niche at all. I must admit, however, that I want you to put the 2018 color that is purple. A shade too often neglected by men and that can yet bring a lot of dynamism and style!
