One might think, “Cool. The best way to wear vintage is to just add lots of accessories.” However, that is not true. There’s something called the “cumulative costume effect,” which happens if you add more and more, especially vintage accessories. We already made a guide that highlighted the pitfalls of adding too many accessories to an outfit or the so-called “over-accessorizing.” Our aim is to demonstrate the advantage of using Vanish laundry booster on top of laundry detergent to ensure more effective stain removal at low temperature while maintaining garment colour and condition for longer. I met my husband, Simon, at college. We’ve been together for 30 years and married for 26. After we’d been dating for two weeks, he took me to meet his family. I wore the dungarees because I was nervous – I come from a culture where most of my cousins had arranged marriages – and I felt as if I could hide in them.To be completely honest, what you’ve written about men in their 30s and 40s doesn’t surprise me at all. Not that I’ve personally had that experience with chest thumping over their latest outdoor experiences to justify sloppy dressing. Not yet. Since discovering Gentleman’s Gazette, though, I’ve become more aware of a growing culture in society of sloppy dressing or an ‘anything goes’ culture. The worst one was at a local restaurant where you’d wear neat or smart casual: I was aghast to see one customer in old sweatpants, his beer gut hanging over the waistband, an equally disreputable t-shirt and thongs. I remarked on it in passing to some of my relatives only for them to brush it off saying who cares, it’s just the local RSL. Not sure what was more disappointing: relatives’ reactions or other customers’ sloppy attire. Fans are also drawn to kits which were worn during particular – often triumphant – seasons, adds Dean Fallon, fashion design lecturer at Birmingham City University.

Sure, I get it. You may watch Casablanca and think Humphrey Bogart looks really cool in that fedora. So, you go out there. You buy a fedora. You don’t think about if it really works with your face shape, and you have no idea how to wear it properly because you haven’t read the guides on the Gentleman’s Gazette. Adding modern pieces to your outfit can make you look more rooted in the present day. ( Knit tie from Fort Belvedere) Those of us who like classic menswear and ideally not only dress classically but also value personal style in other areas of life have to come to terms with being anachronisms. As the saying goes: indignation and ridicule is envy with a haloI moved to New York in the 1970s as a student before getting a job at New York University. I saw this suit in the window of a shop on 8th Street and it just yelled to me that I had to buy it. Because I’m so tall and thin, it can be hard for me to find clothes, but when I tried it on, it fitted perfectly. Just make sure your clothes don’t become a barrier for others to talk to you because they put you on a pedestal and think you want to be better than them. 6. Practice Inspiration, Not Duplication Be confident in the way you dress. Trust me: I’m no stranger to getting looks or attention when I enter a room or a grocery store. But, the alternative would be just to wear sweatpants and a hoodie, and that’s just unacceptable to me.

Co-founder of Goodhood Kyle Stewart thinks that the products will resonate with “anyone who is aware of a brand’s current status and is misty-eyed for the simplicity of brands 20 years ago. The old branding of the vintage Apple products is relatively quaint compared to their contemporary appearance.” When I was at university, my bedroom was so cold in the winter that I would often find ice inside the windows. My mum said: “I’ll knit you a jumper.” That was 37 years ago, and that jumper has stayed with me throughout all the highs and lows of my life. I was ridiculously shy when I was younger. When I went to art college in 1988, I realised I needed to come out of my shell so made a real effort to make friends. Modern club culture is very detached from fans. It’s extremely commercialised, with multiple shirts being released per season for the bigger clubs. Fans nowadays want to reconnect with the club culture of old, which was more supporter focused, and they do that by wearing vintage shirts. It’s a way of remembering how football used to be.”

The longevity claim ‘doubles the life of your clothes’ is based on the comparison of garment care results of Vanish pink powder + laundry liquid detergent after 20 washes vs. laundry liquid detergent after 10 washes. Low temperature washes help to reduce colour and fabric damage. While it is a fashion choice for many – the designs from the 90s are more basic and fit into current fashion trends a lot better – there’s also a nostalgic element to it.

I’ve had the suit since I was 28 and I’m reluctant to get rid of it because I’d never be able to find one like it again. It’s as good as new – I still wear it occasionally, although not as much as I did in the 1970s. Get inspired by vintage style icons, don’t try to copy them. I mean, nearly everyone can recall a scene from a movie or maybe a vintage fashion illustration that they thought, “Wow! This looks stunning. I want to look like that.”

1. The White Dress Shirt

I think it’s brilliant to see old and new fans alike showing appreciation for their long-standing support of the game through the shirts they’re choosing to wear.” Extending garment longevity is the purpose of Vanish. These days garment consumption can be very fast, a study claims that garments could be disposed after only 10 wears (“Global Fashion Agenda and Boston Consulting Group, Pulse of the fashion industry” 2018, p. 59). I bought this dress on Cuba Street in central Wellington when I was 25. There was a stall selling tie-dyed batik outfits. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw this incredible ultramarine blue. I thought: “That will be easy to wear in summer.” Scott wanted to explore the world and we started taking longer trips. In 2000, we spent six months travelling around Central America and the dress came with us. I could wear it hiking or at the end of the day when we went for a beer and a meal. It was just a simple thing: I didn’t have to worry what I looked like because the dress was bright and cheerful, and that’s how I felt. When I look at photos from that trip, I see a young woman, madly in love, looking at the man she loves without a care in the world and her life stretching before her. In its heyday, it was really warm and fluffy. I’d wear it when I was studying and I couldn’t afford to put the heating on. It’s not so fluffy now, but it’s only in the past year that I’ve had to start patching it up. I asked my mum if she could repair it. She had a go, but said it was beyond her – she didn’t have the time and patience, or the wool.
