Retro revisited in Men’s Fashion

The retro look can really never go out of style. You can wear it at parties and even to events where you will become the centre of attention for sporting a rather snazzy yet smart look. The trick with sporting retro inspired clothing is to match it well. Men’s retro wear for casual outings, parties, office wear, etc. should be bought, keeping in mind whether the person will be able to carry it off or not. As, in the 60s or 70s, everyone used to sport the same type of clothes, but if that style is sported in the current age, then one might look out of place if they are not comfortable with what they are sporting.

So, the first thing you should check is whether you are fashionable enough to sport a retro look. If you are in the zone and are ready to don the evergreen style, then there some wonderful garments you can buy.

Getting the Look Right

Now remember, the styles that were are rage in the yesteryears may not suit your mentality. Therefore, if you can’t imagine yourself wearing those outfits, then you shouldn’t try. A lot of shimmer was in vogue in the retro era. So, if you want to grab that party jacket, try and get some shimmer or shine on it. Glitter is very retro. However, you can’t end up looking like a Christmas tree at every party, so try and incorporate that sharpness in a subtle way. For example, go for a shimmery jacket or blazer with a pair of well tailored trousers with a crisp white shirt. Or incorporate a pair of jazzy shoes with a well tailored suit.

Play it Safe yet Stylish with Retro Prints and Patterns

To ‘scared’ to try out shimmer and glitter? Well, then you can resort to retro prints. Try pinstripes, plaid or tartan or even normal stripes in various colours. You can opt for subtle colours as you go to work and bolder colours while you go partying. However, if you go for prints like tartan or plaid, make sure your entire suit or ensemble isn’t ruled by the print. Touches of the print, like a jacket, a tie, a handkerchief in the pocket or a muffler in the print, will do just fine.
