Mixing Vintage And Modern
When you buy a vintage piece you want to make sure to offset it with some modern pieces so you don’t look like you are wearing a costume. Take, for example, the Harris Tweed jacket I found on e-bay. I have worn it with wool slacks and a shirt and I find I look a little too much like a 1920′s shoe shine boy. Albeit not a BAD look, I personally do not want to walk out of my apartment feeling like I am on my way to a dress rehearsal for Oliver.
So last week I decided to wear this jacket with a great zip up sweater I found at H&M. The combination, as you can see, really works well at offsetting the costume vibe for a more modern meets vintage approach. This is something we all have to be aware of when putting our outfits together.
Know what I mean, guvner?
