1950s
The Menswear in You Only Live Twice (1967)
Summer Uniform: Sport Shirts, Alohas, and the Runaway Collar
Call it the vacation look, the vintage throwback, or whatever you like. It’s something that we’re doing to keep stylish and cool as LA gets into the July heat!
The Uniqlo Knit Polo
These polos are knit and ribbed for our pleasure.
The Vintage 1950’s Cinch-Back Flannels
I apologize for the ass shot, but these cinch-back trousers make it worth it. They’re definitely hard to find, as I’d only seen them in pictures and illustrations before now!
The Style of Reynolds Woodcock in “Phantom Thread”
Reynolds Woodcock was one of the the premiere dressmakers in 1950’s London. It’s only fitting that his own wardrobe is on par with the dresses he creates. With a minimalistic approach to style, Reynolds looks simultaneously vintage and classic, with an air of fussy elegance to boot. This post discusses the style of Daniel Day-Lewis’ character in Phantom Thread.
The Vintage Trench Coat
Rain in LA is like manna from heaven, since it seems that the state of California is perpetually on the brink of a drought. Other than giving us some much needed water, it also gives me a reason to break out my vintage trench coat.
Fun with Unique Vintage Outerwear
Time keep our layering theme going by visiting the deep reaches of my wardrobe and bringing out some cool, unique vintage outerwear!

The Rollneck Sweater
It’s taken 11 months for the LA weather to hit under 70F, so that means it’s time for actual fall/winter outfits. And what better way to do it than to bring back the Rollneck sweater.
