00:00 How To Wear Vintage Style Introduction
We love vintage apparel and accessories that stood the test of time. Here's how to incorporate them in your outfits so you look classic, not costumey or dated.
We believe that quite a few things, including certain aspects of fashion, are better the old-fashioned way. However, there are some things from the past that should actually just be left in the past.
The 30s had great style inspiration that carried over until today, but a pair of spats, a top hat, or a cane will just make you look distinctly vintage.
How To Wear Vintage Goods with Style Suggestions:
02:00 1. Don't Wear Costumes
03:36 2. Be Aware of the Details
06:52 3. Combine Vintage with Modern Pieces
08:31 4. Know About the "Cumulative Costume Effect" of Accessories
11:50 5. Keep the Dress Code in Mind
13:08 6. Practice Inspiration, Not Duplication
14:49 7. Be Confident
Be sure to check out the channel of @Vintagebursche !
We hope you found our tips helpful, and you can now create outfits that put you in the history books.

![เกิดใหม่ทั้งทีก็เป็นสไลม์ไปซะแล้ว ซีซั่น 3 - ตอนที่ 61 [ซับไทย]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ux_yeQTff6E/mqdefault.jpg)
I really don't think we can afford to ignore how the simple matters of UTILiTY and common sense affect the decision to go vintage. For example, there's a huge difference in how you look carrying a cane just for appearances, and how it looks if you actually have a bum leg, or otherwise need it to walk.
Sometimes an interest in one or more pieces of vintage style is provoked less by a sentiment of "I wish I could wear that," than it is by thinking, "I could really USE one of those."
I have a tendancy to look dated, especially in the 1930's era. I don't particularly care. It makes me feel good, I tend to get a positive reception, I have no one to impress but myself, and, as they say, haters gonna hate. I don't care how dated I look, I just care that it looks good period.
Looking dated with a White Ensemble with Top Hat is still miles better than paring a suit with sneakers or dressing like a bum, like the average person does
I’m definitely the same way. I can’t stand a lot of the authoritative opinions people have over what they think objectively looks good when practically everything is subjective
@@darramlogan7126 You can repeat that all you want but it doesn't make it true.
@@user-iu1ru1qz7u Neither does the contrary. People with low standards would believe in such modern and trendy clothing statements. I would wear a White Tie Ensemble for appropriate occasions not every single day. I am not saying its never acceptable to wear casual clothing, but in a public setting where it doesn't require pure physical activities, wearing a suit and dress shoes would make someone look professional over someone wearing a plain t-shirt and shorts. If someone wants to dress in dated fashion, go ahead let them wear it. They shouldn't let anyone stop them from doing so.
@Anthony Suffok I agree
thank you. i watch a lot of channels with feminine vintage clothing and how to wear it so it doesn't look like a costume and how to get or make clothes that have the look, drape and feel of the vintage style but without the costume or overboard look. its nice to see it in menswear
but i have been a fan of this channel for years.
Which channels, if you don't mind sharing?
Confidence is a large part of this as you said. Heres a personal example.
I own a leather biker jacket, and I decided to put Epaulettes on it. I did this to stand out and emphasize my already fairly broad shoulders. I've gotten complements for wearing this because I'm confident in it.
I will never forget the sacrifice at 14:56
Then you have never come out of a sauna to cool off by rolling in the snow.
I completely died on that clip of Raphael wearing swimming trunks in the snow. 😂😂
Great video as always. This is the channel that got me into classic men’s style.
Thrift stores are amazing, in the last year I was able to amass quite a collection of quality vintage garments and accessories. I encourage to be on the look out!
Yes there is loads, as long as your are a 46" inch
I actually loved the "costumey" more. Some of us wish to wear vintage goods *with style*, and yet to remain vintage-looking, not modern.
I get your point, however, I (and my friends who also follow this channel) actually use your knowledge and ideas in order to achieve as much of a vintage look as possible.
I respect that alot, personally I want that "costumey " look to.
Agreed! Once I acquire the funds necessary I will surely try to achieve a vintage look.
The Gentlemen's Gazette channel is my favourite men's fashion guide. Greatting from Brazil.

This channel has changed my life. Cannot get enough. Greetings from indiana.
Same.
I wish higher waisted pants were more popular, it’s so hard to find pants that fit my body shape because there’s never enough room in the seat/waist
Why wear clothes that are popular? If you look for vintage clothes, from the 1950s or older, the seat area has plenty of fabric. There is is even extra fabric om the seat and legs of the trousers.Wear what you love. We only love once. There's hope. If you need help I'll be more than happy to help you find what you need. It's no problem at all. Happy to help if you need it.
@@lenocman2 yeah but they’re harder to find and more expensive
@Frank yeah
Try not eating so much, or a treadmill.
Buy trousers that are 2" larger than your actual size and get them taken in. you can push it a bit if you get something 3-4" bigger but may look disproportional. The naturally longer rise measurement on trousers with larger waist sizes will make them much higher waisted after getting them taken in.
I love the film Gattaca, it had 1930's style with futuristic technology.
That clip of you walking outside in the snow in shorts. Priceless! 😊
I had this boss who would wear spats everyday to the office, he literally owned the style and it looked good on him
Hi, could you please do a Paisley guide soon?
*I WEAR 1900 - 1930 ONLY* I learned to draft the patterns and tailor them myself so they are fully bespoke.
Because they are my normal day to day clothing I wear them with such nonchalance that most people don't even notice. I have to be wearing tweed plus fours and a caine etc for people to actually stop and stare. So my advice, wear something vintage-inspired every day until it becomes your norm. At that point, you can start to push the boundaries with confidence.
Please share how you learned to draft patterns. Thanks!
@@jadakowers4727 - PLease let me know if you got my reply - it has disappeared. I hope they emailed it to you before it vanished.
I love high waisted pants, they really are super comfortable
Agreed, for people who hate by experience, have worn it only once. If you wear it for a week straight it gets super comfortable.
It’s hard to find good stuff at vintage and second hand stores for men because so many suits are clearly from the 70’s or someone’s dead grandpas clothes
Very true. If you want to have success shopping at vintage stores, you need time.
Most vintage clothing is someone's dead grandpas clothes, lol
Over by me it's all '80s/'90s stuff. You used to find nice '50s and '60s clothes that passed the statute of limitations for looking "dated".
@@blakemcnamara9105 The 40s 50s and 60s stuff is still on ebay
Nothing wrong with dead grandpa clothes. You just got to sort out the good from the bad.
I found a pure wool dressing gown full length in a dark red with subtle weave for a tall gentleman. Big roomy pockets. $3 I think it was.
60s sport jacket in prince of wales weave fo $2.
And for fun, bought a deep purple safari suit. Yes, I am a lady and these things are out there if you are willing to look. I appreciate good workmanship from any era.
I hope you find some lovely things.
I can definitely attest to high rise trousers. You'll never go back
Cool that you shout at Niklas at Vintagebursche...the dude's awesome!
I love watching people who love clothes, shiny polished shoes, and accessories. Very nicely done.
The underrated Stroller suit is something one call pull off in the modern era, especially those double-breasted Stresemanns with Winchester shirts.
My goal has always been to be as if I walked out of a time machine from 70 years ago so I guess I’ll take the opposite of this advice
Just make sure it's period-accurate.
@@blakemcnamara9105 sometimes the whole suits is accurate to one period but a lot of the time it’s a mismatch of like the 1930s - 1970s
Have you been dressing like that ?
If only I was more accessible to more thrift/vintage stores! 😞
Take a trip to the UK 😂 we love a charity shop.
@@MatthewJBD When the borders open, defooo! UK's gotta be the place.
@G G Sadly, eBay ain't the greatest where I live unless you're ready for mad shipping fees
@@theDapperVault too true
4:18
God, i love that prince of wales pattern sport coat.
Andi also i think that red bowtie works perfect with it!
I love that you're shouting of Vintagebursche, Antique Menswear and Pinsent Tailoring! They're some of my favorites and biggest inspirations in the community- all very different styles and philosophies, but all very well dressed men.
Me too. All awesome people.
I may only be 16, but I'm a huge fan of how the people of the Victorian period dressed, particularly the coats. I also love the look of the button boots, would they go together well or would they look tacky together?
If you want to wear them together, wear them together. This video is for people who don't want to look too historical. But if you really like and feel good in a historical style, you should wear it.
Button boots were absolutely popular in the Victorian era, especially the later era.
15:12 your editor Aaron and Dandy Wellington have an impeccable style too!
Aaron is one of our scriptwriters but he has style indeed ;)
i got a vintage stetson cowboy hat. Highly recommend insane quality and you can find it really cheaply.
I stumbled upon your videos some time ago and I love watching them and I've learned a lot. Although I'm a single woman in my 60s without a man in sight, I enjoy wearing classic clothing. So since I've been watching your informational videos, when I came across a Fleurette 100% camel hair coat in perfect condition at a thrift store, I knew to grab it. Without your wise counsel, I would have passed it by. I snapped it up for only $15.00 - - - SCORE! Of course, it needs some alterations, but I certainly won't mind spending some money on that when I know I have an item that I can wear proudly for years to come. Thank you for educating me!
That's an interesting take on Vintage USA styles. In the UK people visit the equivalent of your thrift shops in search of vintage clothing which in the UK are either specifically charity shops or used vintage shops or people go to vintage fairs to buy their vintage clothing. We are also blessed with 'Joe Browns' who are a clothing company who replicate brand new vintage clothing and accessories. I guess having new vintage rather defeats the search of having original vintage? However you can mix and match old with new, as you have shown in your video. I like to wear vintage myself and sometimes think I should have lived in a different era! Having said that as a teen back in the 1970's you wouldn't have seen me within a mile of a charity/vintage shop. Yet today youngsters are into the vintage scene......I think it's much more than a fashion thing today.
Media today in all its wide formats from video games set in the 30's or 40's to WW1/WW2 films in the cinema all have their influences on people. And I suppose that people look back on nostalgic times and recall they were better dressed, had more glamorous times. However WW1/WW2 wasn't exactly a picnic, and the troubled times we are all living through today with Covid etc was nothing compared to WW1/WW2.
There's always such a subtle fine line between costume and true vintage! Thank you for this video!
Lapels are tricky because some people do like wider lapels, but shinny lapels never look good as they look like they are almost not there. One thing to never mess with is fit, neither too skinny nor too baggy, rather than making you look 20's or 80's, a bad fit just makes it like you are wearing someone else's clothes.
wouldnt skinny lapels look better on thinner people?
@@slyvesterakaspookmcskull6113 The total opposite actually, skinny labels makes you look even thinner
The b roll satire and sarcasm is first class 🤣🤣 great, informative and ENTERTAINING video
Apparently the pink tie in Diamonds Are Forever was used as he gets thrown into a swimming pool. They didn’t want to ruin an expensive silk tie, so they used a cheap polyester tie! It gets a lot of stick in the Bond community, but all the other ties he wears in the movie are more conservatively coloured expensive silk ones, like the ones that he wore in all the previous films.
Glad you made a video on this.
It can be very easy to fall into seeming costume-y when using vintage, or even classically styled, clothes if you’re not careful.
I would like to ask you for 2 videos:
1) how to wear color white
2) under what circumstances to use spectator shoes.
Thank you in advance.
Wow, that bowler hat look is brilliant! Looks really classy on you
I love your channel so much, you guys show that there is still creativity and talent out there
I love the outfit rundown!! I am putting together an ensemble very similar to that. I would love to see a compilation video of outfit run down for you, Preston, and Kyle as well as a compilation of the snipits of you guys walking in different outfits. I know for me it helps give me idea for my own wardrobe and to experiment with different combinations. Great Video!!!
Could you make a video of how to dress if you live in a forever warm country? Since I love those jackets but 40 degrees outside, oh dear
Wow! One of the best men's fashion videos I've ever seen! Really insightful! Loved It!
These are such amazing tips! I really appreciate your guidance over all these years ever since I discovered you back in college!
I have to agree with a few commenters below - higher-waisted pants are definitely more comfortable and flattering for some body types (mine included, of course). It's all I buy now. In terms of vintage clothing, I got my start as a Civil War reenactor, and I still wear a reproduction overcoat in the winter - a long, single-breasted sack coat, to be specific. Occasionally it feels little awkward, but I've gotten nothing but nice comments on it, along with my other "old fashioned" items.
Love your videos guys! Always makes my day when a new gentleman’s gazette video comes out!
The value per watch is extremely high with your channel. I'm truly happy you gentlemen exist. Thank you for your very thorough and well thought out content. All the best from Colorado!
As someone who got their style described by an old music style from my country I can relate. They either describe me by '30s music bossa nova or MPB movement form '70s. I like it.
That navy suit at 9.58 is outstanding!
@Jon Dante same, timeless and classic!
I noticed the JJL reverso right away! Beautiful!
perfect! I've been waiting for such a video for ever! So many thanks!
There's a way to dress like a certain decade that won't make it look like a costume or even dated necessarily and that is to make sure that the clothing is something that wouldn't have been a big fashion statement back then either. For instance, if you like the 1960's, it's the difference between wearing a skinny tie with a fedora from wearing a loud, slim mod suit like you walked off of Carnaby Street. The former are specific details that are definitely hallmarks of the era yet are subtle enough to work with classic suits whereas the latter look is completely of it's time.
Yet another great video. Thank you for being there to help guide my style journey.
Thank you for the video and for the mention. I really appreciate that! I disagree on the high starched collar in the beginning though. It looks pretty nice. :D
I'm a simple man: when I see a new GG video, I click Like.
I hope you watch it subsequently so you make sure you actually like it...
Love your channel and all the info that you give us
I love.. LOVE I TELL YOU... a classic sweater or sweater vest!! Cable knits, Argyll, Commando, shooter/field types... I also collect kilts and wear them whenever I can.. Thus the sweaters can be the perfect topper in cooler weather climates.
Raphael's voice and smile are smooth like butter
I understand Raphael’s point, but Downton Abbey cosplay would be great fun, and I wouldn’t care who thought it inappropriate when out running errands etc.
I definitely agree that staying away from cheap remake costume pieces don’t really provide a stylish look!
2:22
For Goth Tailcoats, a good place is Shrine of Hollywood. Unlike the stuff on Amazon, Shrine's clothes are high quality.
I'm lucky enough to have inherited a few garments from my grandfather. Doubly so as we're very similar in proportions and he had a few really nice things from 60s/70s. Most of all is an emerald Hickey Freeman sharkskin, just had to work on the trousers (remove cuffs). It, like me is probably 1964. And his cashmere buff overcoat, beautiful, hand stitched deal, The Harris tweed overcoat suffers from cuff and shoulder epaulettes from the 70s, but is close.
The 30 Rock clip! One of my favorite sitcoms 😂
See this is where my struggle is. I'm transitioning from being a goth kid into trying to dress in a more mature and refined manner. I spent twenty years wearing chains and Tripp pants. No I still intend to hang out with my Gothic Friends by wearing a vintage style of Victorian or Edwardian. As they specifically do outings in wild outfits. But the rest of my time I want to look more mature modern.
Me: Regularly watches Gentleman's Gazette, finds the topics interesting and ponders about the nuances and intricacies of men's fashion in an engaged manner.
Also me: Owns two button-down dress shirts and a generic, black leather belt and considers wearing those to be for special occasions. I don't even own a pair of dress pants.
As genuinely entertaining as these videos are, I'm simply not cut out for men's fashion. I suppose I can always fantasize.
Agreed. It's not like I don't have the means to do this sort of thing to the letter of what they teach on here, but I find the information more useful in making my own fashion choices that feel less out of place in my social circles. And man when I have white tie events with my work I know what's up
As with most things, it looks like it’s about what you own. But it’s not. It’s really about what you know so that you can use what you already have. Gentleman’s gazette is pretty formal tho, so check out @One Dapper Street for more modern information to apply to your current wardrobe :)
Extremely good advice!
Good Video Raphael! And nice reference to Vintagebursche. He has an interesting channel.
Love the Vintagebursche shout out, I'm also a big fan of the channel and would recommend!!
Zach Pinsent and Jon Townsends regularly dress in 18th century clothing, they just sew it themselves in Zach’s case because he’s a tailor, or have it made by a team of seamstresses, in Jon’s case because he has a catalog of re-enactor clothing.
Why is every video here so informative 😄
Vintagebursche came up in my TH-cam suggestion months ago and I am glad I checked it out because he has a lot of great content on his channel
True, I'm also a fan of his
@@vimhome8022 That is great to read and I myself do not dress like him but his content does help to get some ideas that I or anyone can use to incorporate some items into your wardrobe/closet
In this day and age it great to mix and match different items to make a perfect outfit or outfits to fit his or her needs
bought a double breasted vest from Topman last year, was somehow wondering it it's too costumy. Glad to see you guys pull them off well :)
HAHAHA there are some guys on instagram that should see this video!!!
It seems more that they are wearing a costume, than emulating the classic style.
I found this one inspirational.
Personally I don't know what your problem is with the 1970s suits I think it revived the suit and got rid of those boring plain coloured skinny 60s suits in general I've always preferred wide legged trousers and wide lapels but at the end of the day that is just my opinion now going back to the 70s I live in the UK and the 70s suits in the UK were not as extreme as the American bright polyester suits and whenever you type up some 70s clothes on Google you will always find the extreme end you'd be better to go with 70s casual bomber jacket for example or the large collar shirts but in a way where they don't look dated I cannot stand skinny fit suits My Favourite collars are sear point style and I love art deco ties you can never find a tie that looks the same with that style
Awesome episode ❗🔥💯
13:41 "you wont look like Cary Grant just because you're wearing a gray flanel suit"
Ouch, that one hit me hard.
Did I spot the Parisian Gentleman, at 13:21? I believe I did!
This channel is awesome
great video. keep it up!
I really don't like Suits, Gentleman Behavior and all this stuff. In fact, I'm pretty mucg the EXACT opposite of this Channel. I like Dressing in a more Gothic Style, mostly black, I listen to Hard Rock and Heavy Metal and I like it rough and wild! But for some reason I just can't stop watching your Videos!!!!! It's kinda interesting seeing the other side of the coin and IF I ever need a Suit in my life, I know EXACTLY where to go now!
Peace from DEUTSCHLAND 🤘🏻
The line, "You guessed it, we have a video on..." made me laugh out loud. Thanks! Jay Tee
You sir are my idol. Wasn't at first, however, from 14:55 you are. thank you for your inspiration and your movies
This is fashionably helpful, Sven. Thanks for uploading. It isn't easy to look classy even though I'm not a dude like you.
Hi there, Thank you for this video! What is the name of the "look book" you were flipping through?
The jacket at 9:04 also has the lower gorge, which, honestly, I'd love to see make a comeback. The notches are simply getting too high.
This is an exhausting amount of information. Very informative but quite intimidating.
Great video.
From a womans point of view I think you all look wonderful- I would love living in your neighborhood just to be able to see you strolling down the street- i so appreciate your channel
Great quote from Coco Chanel: "Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off."
Regardless of what you think of her, when you get to a point where you hav a ton of accessories, it's a useful quote to remember.
Thank you for helpful advises! Hello from Kazan, Russia!
Getting closer to 1 million subscribers every day...
Well said!
At the moment I kinda like to go for the 20ies to 30ies gangster look as an Inspiration.
I'm reasonably new to watching, and subscribing to these channels. I appreciate the advice and guidance. However, at times I am conflicted with my impressions. This video talks about a gentleman's style not be "costumey". My conflict is that I admire the appreciation for quality, but I feel that some outfits worn are worn to deliberately be different. I.e. a costume.
I like gentleman cane so much
Could you do a watch video about the Timex brand?
I loved Hugo Jacomet's cameo on this video lol
Amazing
Great explanation gg!,but im not rooting for the stroller jacket with peak lapel with an knit tie
14:23 is this a hint for a video of Borsalino hats?😳
Goodnattwntio to detail, stay tuned.
@@gentlemansgazette OH YES!
Hello Raphael 👋 I wonder if you will ever do a Parker fountain pen video 🤔
so underrated channel
