Men’s Vintage Pieces at a Glance
Men’s fashion has undergone some truly unique and remarkable evolutions over the years, which means you have lots of great options for adding pieces and styles to your wardrobe.
Here are just a few men's clothing picks you’ll want to be on the lookout for:
Outerwear
Outerwear is an easy addition to any wardrobe, and you won’t have to worry about finding that perfect size. You have lots of great vintage outerwear looks to try out, from peacoats to bomber jackets, to a denim jacket, so you can mix and match styles with your current wardrobe and add a taste of gentlemen chic to every outfit.
Try out a 50s inspired trend: layer a leather jacket over a simple white t-shirt. Then, add some Wrangler vintage denim jeans. This unique look is often pointed to as one of the main reasons behind James Dean's commercial appeal.
Tie Clips
One way to elevate any outfit is with the use of tie clips. Tie clips have a unique and exciting history and can be traced back to at least the 1920s, and you’ll find them in many different styles and designs. Tie clips have evolved and changed with each new era of fashion.
Tie clips can add a touch of elegance to any outfit, but they’re also great for practical purposes as well. They’ll ensure that your tie stays in place and you continue to look refined and stylish.
Try these with a 1940s or 1980s pinstripe suit or a seersucker coat with a vest. While this is generally considered men's clothing, women can rock them as well.
Vintage Jeans
Jeans have a long and exciting history, and Levis stands out as one of the most iconic clothing brands in the USA. Levi’s jeans have been worn by workers, miners, cowboys, and more throughout the years, and when the heartthrobs of Hollywood embraced denim, they became a comfortable and useful staple for the every-man as well.
Style your vintage jeans with classic workman’s looks, like white tee shirts and vintage flannels, or add a touch of elegance with blazers, sweaters, and fitted outerwear.
