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!
