We are noticing a lot of vintage details coming back into fashion nowadays. Style picks like the Aviator glasses, suede trench coats , panama hats, bell bottoms are bringing us back into the suave era of the Cary Grants and Gregory Pecks . In fact, vintage designs are produced even today, by high end designers like Chanel, Thierry Mugler, Marc Jacobs, Versace, etc and are highly sought after by many.
We had a wonderful chance to ask Karan Bangera, founder of “The Gentleman’s Community”, a page that provides men’s Sartorial Inspiration to share with us, how the men of today can adopt vintage clothing into their wardrobe.
3 Ways to style yourself with a Vintage Flair :
- Own a Vintage biker Jacket
A great biker Jacket is an investment piece that could last you forever. Instead of spending money on a brand new leather jacket, explore the stores and find a vintage leather jacker. Leather only gets better with age. It becomes softer and develops more character. Tag it with a plain white tee , fitted jeans and leather boots.
Alternatively, if you can’t find a vintage jacket, try brands like Diesel or AllSaints that produce the traditional style biker leather jackets for men.
- Get a tailor made Double Breasted Suit
“The glamour and heritage of the overlapping suit jacket is the quintessential gentleman’s style.”
Be different.Bring back a classic look that should never have disappeared to begin with.To pull of this look, always opt for broader peak lapels and tag it with a boutonniere (floral decoration worn by men, typically a single flower or bud, wiki) or a lapel pin.
This bad boy outfit is perfect for a wedding or a dressy event / night out. Not only does it show sartorial mastery, but reflects true self-confidence in your daring departure from the norm. You are sure to get compliments, so make sure you have some witty responses ready and not something outrageously cheesy – “I like my suits like I like my women – double-breasted”.
- Hat is the New Black
Vintage hats are popular men’s accessories either for historical memorabilia or renewed fashion vogue. Trends come and go, but the past always finds a place of interest with the people especially when it comes to fashion. There are many hats to choose from. For starters invest in a quality Panama or a Fedora. Keep in mind that Panamas are typically for summers and fedora is to keep you warm in winters.
As a general rule, men should remove their hats when indoors, at work, at a restaurant or at the movie.
