We'll take a look at the differences seen in the menswear of yesteryear to see how (as well as how much better!) classic style was done then. 01:30 1. Black Tie Vintage gentlemen tended to own their own Black Tie ensembles and they dressed up more in the past. Nowadays, many men either don’t dress up for special events at all or rent a tuxedo. 05:28 2. Shoes Dress shoes were considered major investments in the past. Shoes weren’t just treasured, they were treasures! 08:23 3. Socks Vintage gentlemen took socks as seriously as shoes. Colorful socks in a variety of designs were a staple of classic menswear. 10:12 4. Trousers Trousers had a flattering high waist that falls on the natural waist and not just above the hips. In the 1910s and '20s they were slimmer; in the 1930s they got fuller, but they always had a well-fitting high rise. 13:18 5. Dress Shirts Vintage gentlemen knew the right shirt for the right outfit and they're not afraid to introduce patterns and pastel tone colors. From their dress shirts, they build a collection that suits their lifestyle, wardrobe, and climate. 15:51 6. Odd Combinations Vintage gentlemen had to make fewer garments go farther so they developed a sense for creative and stylish combinations. 16:59 7. Neckwear They crafted collections of neckties and bow ties suitable for work, play, and formal occasions. 20:22 8. Hats How could hats look so right on vintage gentlemen? Vintage gentlemen grew up in a society where the rules and traditions of wearing hats were taught and valued. 21:29 9. Overcoats They have high standards for quality so vintage gentlemen knew to never skimp on clothes that keep you warm. 23:21 10. Pajamas Vintage gentlemen understood that even if most people will never see you in a sleeping garment, it's still worth getting a good one for your own benefit. 24:49 BONUS: Watches Vintage gentlemen employed different face styles, bands, and materials for watches that fit their style and the occasion. They also treated watches like treasured family heirlooms. Hopefully, we’ve shown how the style of the past isn’t gone forever. 26:02 Outfit Rundown
