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. 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.
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. 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. Kim Wong and his wife, Moi, wearing jumpers his mother knitted in the 1980s. Photograph: Christopher Thomond/The Guardian At Fashion-Era.com we analyse two centuries of women’s costume history and fashion history silhouettes in detail. Regency, Romantic, Victorian, Edwardian, Flapper,1940’s Utility Rationing, Dior’s New Look, 1960’s Mini dress, 1970’s Disco, 1980’s New Romantics, Power Dressing, Haute Couture, Royal Robes, Fashion Semiotics, and Body Adornment, each retro fashion era, and future fashion trends are all defined.According to Shepherdson, a whole suite of shirts is now a necessity. “My wardrobe is full of white shirts, but the style and details on each make them all very different,” she says. “I always keep them as they will feel perfect again soon. Updating my white shirts every year or so is something that never fails to excite me.” 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 halo 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 white garments brightness 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.

Euro 96 is another extremely in-demand kit,” adds Ward. “England fans remember that tournament as one of our most successful, so it always sells very well.” Sure, it looks clownish to walk around in a Charlie Chaplin dress or in the style of the Regency, but in Germany you can see worse in the hipster scene in Berlin (beanie, slippers and hoodies with a sweatpants suit). The funny thing is that people ask you how you walk around, and the person asking is wearing a WifeBeater shirt, cargo trousers and sandals, so what?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.” As I get older I grow less attached to material things. I throw things out because I want to make my life leaner. It’s just a few things and a few people that are really valuable that I hold on to – the others fall off the edges and I let them go.

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.”
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). How to help double the life of your clothes with Vanish: Use Vanish Pink powder + Laundry detergent (wash cycle at 30°C) 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.”

Fans are also drawn to kits which were worn during particular – often triumphant – seasons, adds Dean Fallon, fashion design lecturer at Birmingham City University. 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.” 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.” We’ve also outlined the history of Jewellery, Perfumes, Cosmetics, Corsetry and Underwear manipulation of the body silhouette. Fashion history is a rich area to explore. The effects of past and present technology, changes in work, leisure, media and homelife that affect lifestyle trends, attitudes, fashion trends and shopping trendsetters are all covered in the various eras.
