By SLC@MRKOACHMAN | February 1, 2024

Looking back, we can see a clear difference between olden-day style and modern style. The mode of dressing in the ’60’s, ’70’s’ and ’80’s’ have been reinvented and modernized into a different style of dressing.

One feature that describes the olden-day style is “haphazard fashion” due to the rise of highly bright colors of clothes and accessories alike. It also consisted of baggy clothing ensembles which we can still see bits of them in our present world.

However, you’d agree with me that there are a few olden-day styles that if reincarnated can make a fashion statement in our present-day world. So today we look at those five olden-day styles that can make a comeback into our modern style.

Let’s dive right in!!

 

5 Olden Day Style Trends That Should Definitely Make A Comeback

 

#1. Baggy Wears on Sneakers – Olden-day style (Casual Look)

Now this look was popular in the ’80s fashion as we saw a lot of middle-aged men pulling off this style and it looked really good.

However, we can also see that in the modern world of fashion, baggy wears are beginning to take a quick turn as fashionistas are seen slaying this look. Now today, you can see that a baggy cargo pants or joggers in any casual ensemble can be worn with white sneakers. That would give off a super casually sophisticated retro look albeit modern.

#2. High-Waisted Trousers

 

Most people may not know this but high-waisted pants are one olden-day style that is making a comeback. It’s beginning to surface as we can see fashion influencers and classic gentlemen rocking this style with their business casual and semi-formal looks and looking gorgeous.

So if you’re having second thoughts about getting this high fashion outfit then you should no more!!

 

#3. Leisure Suits

 

Leisure suits should definitely make a comeback in modern-day Fashion. For all we know, these suits existed back in the ’80s when men wore suits with bell bottoms and pastel colors. Unfortunately, the suits faded out due to the high demand for formal attire for the workplace. It was then replaced with power suits and shoulder pad stuffed suits and all.

Now that most offices do not require strict formal attire for business hours, then this suit will go a long way in serving business casual and informal dressing goals.

 

#4. Suspenders with casual wear

 

Oh yes, suspenders on casual pants or shorts were a thing at that time.

And yes, we can still reinvent them into our modern-day fashion. I believe they would be great for costume-themed events, streetwear, and runway fits, but then they can still be chipped into our present-day fashion even in the smallest bits.

#5. Detachable Collars

The idea of detachable collars become popular around the 1850 era. It was done to present a clear image of formality and alacrity in the men’s fashion. And yes, we can see that trend dripping into modern-day fashion bit by bit.

Detachable Collars are easily pulled off and are very stylish, it’s definitely one clothing accessory every modern gentleman should have.

 

#6. Bonus: Collar Pin

Collar pin – a quintessential accessory that every extraordinary gentleman should have. True gentlemen of the old rocked this accessory. I’m talking about the likes of Cary Grant, Fred Astaire, and the fictional character – Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby movies.

A collar pin which is closely related to the collar bar is a piece of men’s fashion accessory, which is designed to hold the two ends of a dress shirt collar together – functioning in a similar way as a tabbed collar. However, much more than just holding down the shirt collars, it helps elevate the knot of the tie and adds an extra touch of elegance to your necktie.
