The Rise of "New Vintage"

The Rise of Vintage Clothing

Over the recent decades, there has been an explosion in both the men's and women's vintage clothing market. Cultural influence like TV shows and movies capture a feeling that we try to replicate in the outfits we wear. Vintage appeal also comes from styles that stick like rugby polo's, military jackets and other classic pieces that are simply timeless. 

This surge in demand for vintage-inspired looks has sparked an exciting new trend in the men's apparel world—'New Vintage'."

Some great vintage pieces to get you started are rugbys, jackets, denim pants, suits, loafers, caps, your favorite Hawaiian shirt.

New Vintage

Vintage apparel has seen such a rise that it's carved out it's own term in the market, "vintage." In the past "vintage" clothing would just mean items that were old or secondhand. However, now the vintage market has been cemented as a serious style in fashion all around the globe, and many brands and designers are adding new pieces that pay tribute to the classics with their own modern twists.

Older and more vintage inspired brands like Levi's, Carhartt, Birkenstock and Converse have remained relevant and in some instances continue to compete well in their markets thanks to their timeless and vintage appeal.  

Adding vintage pieces into your wardrobe should be on every guy's to-do list. The versatility of dressing up or down a rugby and pair of loafers for example is a gift that keeps on giving (especially as you get older). Vintage pieces are also a great investment since they  never go out of style and carry a distinguished appeal with them no matter the time or place.
