johnart will tell you that's what I wear to cook and clean. hmph!

And I think the late 40s to around 1955 definitely rivaled the 20s for high style. Christian Dior's "New Look?" Get the fuck outta here...


late 40's to 55-ish is the best for women. cloud9.

Some mod fashion, I also like.

1970's Halston is also hot and chic.


1970s Halston was also comfortable. nod

I would like it if the mustache-only look would come back. I can actually remember when all of my friends' fathers shaved their mustaches in the late 80's and they never seemed to come back into style.

I would personally lobby Congress to pass anti-moustache-only laws!!! I pray men never again walk around with the 70s porn look! shake

20s, 30s, 40s, especially the forties and 20s hairstyles. I can't get enough of the 20s short bob.

If I wasn't such a complete lazyass when it comes to hair care, I'd seriously consider getting a bob and marcelling my hair every day. That look is fantastic.

Marcel waves -- with some restraint -- are awesome! And sooo glamourous. nod

I'm not certain if they can be called true Marcels, but when I look at vintage photos, I think that heavy pomade, deep sculpted wave look some white guys adopted from, say, the mid-1800s through the early 1960s could be fun if it came back. So many Abercrombie types slather their hair with product anyway -- it'd be cool to see them use it toward something retro-suave instead of spiky and punkish.





Of course they'd need training, as clearly the trend could get out of hand smile...

Wearing hats when outdoors and the etiquette and associated behavior that goes with it... that would totally be my thing!

Does anyone besides a few hairdressers even know how to do that anymore though? For men's hair, I mean.

I loathe baseball caps on men and women, but I adore proper hats. Someone really needs to bring those back in style.

I've decided to begin my own collection of nice hats. So far I have a tiger print angora fedora, which should be tacky as fuck but isn't, and a forest green vintage cloche hat. love

There are lots of hairdressers who typically treat women's hair who could do it; not the exact technique of old perhaps, but a modern treatment. They'd just need to familiarize themselves with men's cuts.

The bigger problem, I think, would be getting your average man to be secure enough to step into a "women's" salon... until hairdressers in more "manly" places begin to take up the technique again. confused

A lot of men who wore their hair that way didn't have to have it "done." I have photos of my grandfather with his hair like that. He had naturally curly hair, so all he needed was a dab of pomade. shrug
