Inspiration
One of the most important places to start when building your vintage style is inspiration. In every exploration of style inspiration will help you gain the crucial body knowledge to build your style. When creating a new style, you should be familiar with various aspects of that aesthetic and how it manifest on different body types and in different life situations. Through inspiration and research you’ll be able to learn terminology, traditional style rules and most importantly what speaks to you. You can look are film stars of a particular period, or advertisements. Maybe you want to focus on real people of the past and how they dressed or maybe you are inspired by people to dress vintage today. (10 instagrammers) Having a strong inspiration will be important to guide you as you start to think about shopping. If you have a strong inspiration along with the other point I’m about to layout, you’ll less likely to waste money on things you won’t wear.
Speaking of shopping, inspiration and research are also important to discover what real world retailers can help you achieve you vintage style. Whether you shop Modern Heritage Brands like Ralph Lauren, Paul Stuart and J Press, Vintage Aesthetic or Reproduction Vintage (or Repro) brands like Thomas Farthing, Simon J Cathcart or ___ or actual Vintage Sellers like Richards Fabulous Finds in Chicago and Crowley Vintage in New York, knowing the field of retailer who can help you achieve your ideal look from head to toe is key.
4 Points of Purchases
Second let’s cover what I like to call The 4 points of purchase. These are four points to keep in mind as you start to shop and build your style.
Staples and foundation - these item are the core of your wardrobe. they are dress shirts and shoes and some cases suits. These items should be simple and versatile. With simple and reliable staples you can build any style aesthetic. Be sure to keep and eye out for staple items that have details that match your style inspiration. This shirt from uniqlo isn’t vintage but the point collar makes is possible me to incorporate it into my wardrobe.
Fit - You’re clothes need to fit you well. It can be the difference between personal style and a costume. Make sure your know your body and ideal clothing measurements before you go shopping that way you purchase things that will last in your wardrobe. Also look at how clothing should fit based on your inspiration. How did people wear their clothes? It doesn’t matter how wonderful if vintage find is if it doesn’t fit you. It’s also helpful to find a good tailor or learn to do alterations yourself.
The Rule of 3 - The rule 3 is important to keep in mind as you shop for your vintage style. The rule says that every item in your wardrobe should work with 3 or more other items to help create a full outfit. This is why staple and foundation items that fit you are important. They will be able to work within your wardrobe to create more outfits. Keeping this rule in mind will help you shop strategically and create more outfits in your existing wardrobe.
Accessories - adding the right accessories can take an outfit that is more modern and help it seem a bit more vintage. Accessories like collar bars, tie clips, caps and boutonnières can be short hand for vintage. Just as women can accomplish much of an aesthetic though hair and make up, men can do so with accessories.
Patience
Finally be patient. Building your vintage style will take time. Anyone who wears vintage on a regular basis will tell you, it doesn’t happen overnight. It’s about finding pieces and buying the right staples over time to create the outfits and wardrobe you desire. Remember everyones style journey is going to be different and like many things it’s not a race. So don’t try and rush it. Go at your own pace. With strong inspiration and careful execution and you can build style that will last. Take your time. you can do it.
