Retro Vintage:SA's newest fashion trend... that people STILL get wrong


More about fashion and today I take a look at Retro Vintage style. So days are long and tiring, exams SLOWLY but surely coming to an end and if there’s anything you can do or give to your self is some TLC, go SHOPPING!

Yes yes, a lot of us that are still scholars and students find it hard to get money from our parents, but with the extra saving and cutting down on some of that McFlurrys’s and Chocolate Brownie Avalanches we just LOVE to eat... how’s about sticking yourself to an even greater treat, looking fabulous. Yeah, it may sound all girly and “glammed up” but even as a guy you can do the job just as well.


Every fashionista, or at least a person with a passion for style has their own era. Be it the freedom of the 60’s or the anarchy of  the 80’s and hedonism of the 90’s.. We ALL have an era we look back and wish we had fondly fashionably experienced. From the days of Tupac with the baggy jeans and the Timberland Looking shoes (I don’t know what they're called) and the bandanas wrapped around the guys head to the high waist pants (jeans) our moms wore with the huge ass blazer-jackets, like the woman in The Cosby Show wears for the girls. Its ALL coming back.. well I'm not too sure about the bandana look and Timberland shoes but Retro fashion is BACK.. just sad to see how little of a number of people can actually put an outfit together and call it RETRO FASHION.. not what I daily see where guys in the dusty streets of Johannesburg wear bright coloured blazers (jackets) a shirt and a bow tie.. Then calling it Vintage.. NOOOO, you have got it wrong.. that’s a combination of Colour Blocking and Vintage... May as well call it Colour Bintage.

A bow tie yes, technically is vintage style but if you want to go all out, GO ALL OUT and do it PROPERLY. Below is a few examples of what you SHOULD be wearing and calling retro vintage and not the sad half vintage substitutes that people are now coming up with. 


 My personal favourite is the second one, reminds me of Chuck Bass

Colour may be dull but it's what Retro is about.

Sassy and stylish.. and the vintage is still there #thumbs up
