Join Helios to learn about the characteristics and how to coordinate men's retro style through today's article!
Introduction to men's retro style
The return of the men's retro style in recent years is a testament to the strong vitality of timeless aesthetic values. In the age of increasingly developed digital technology, people tend to be nostalgic and look back to traditional values, and the retro style is the perfect bridge between the past and the present.
What is men's retro style?
Retro men's style is defined as a fashion style inspired by the 50s-80s of the 20th century, but recreated and transformed from a contemporary perspective. This is not an original copy of old designs, but a process of creating and redefining classic fashion values in a modern context.
This style shows the sophistication in combining traditional elements with contemporary trends, creating a unique and individual look. From the smallest details such as seams, buttons to overall elements such as shape and color, all are carefully taken care of to create perfect beauty.
The difference between retro and vintage
In the fashion world, retro and vintage are often mentioned as two closely related concepts, however, they have fundamental differences. Vintage refers to items that truly originate from the past, which are original items produced in a certain period, usually before the 1990s.

Meanwhile, retro is the reproduction of old designs using modern technology and materials. If vintage is like an original painting, retro is a creative reproduction, carrying the breath of both the past and the present. This allows the retro style to be more flexible in meeting the needs and tastes of contemporary consumers.

Why is retro style increasingly popular?
Retro style satisfies this desire by recreating classic beauty in a modern way. It gives the wearer not only fashion beauty but also a feeling of a golden age of art and culture.
In addition, the high applicability of retro style is also an important factor that makes it popular. Retro designs often have basic shapes, are easy to coordinate and suitable for many different situations, from the office to meetings with friends.
Characteristics of men's retro style
Men's retro style is defined by its own unique characteristics, creating an unmistakable identity in the fashion world. Every element from color, material to pattern is carefully selected and coordinated, creating a complete beauty for the wearer.
Main color
The color palette of the men's retro style is a perfect combination of warm tones, creating a luxurious and classic beauty. Brown with a variety of shades from light brown to dark brown brings a warm and close feeling. Classic navy blue creates an elegant and noble beauty. Earthy yellow and soft pastel colors are popular choices, bringing freshness without being less sophisticated.

The special point in the use of color in retro style is harmony and balance. The tones are skillfully coordinated, avoiding excessive brilliance but still ensuring aesthetics and prominence. A delicate pair of men's earrings combined with a dark-colored outfit will create an attractive highlight.
Popular materials
The material in men's retro style plays a decisive role in creating a nostalgic beauty. Denim is an indispensable material, with its durability and excellent shape-creating ability. Over time, denim also brings a unique vintage beauty through natural fading.

Suede offers a luxurious and warm look, often used in jacket or shoe designs. This material requires careful care but in return brings a unique and irreplaceable beauty.
Wool and tweed are traditional materials, bringing elegance and nobility. A silver necklace for men combined with a retro sweater will create a sophisticated highlight. Tweed fabric with its characteristic pattern is often used in jacket and vest designs, bringing the classic beauty typical of the retro style.
Characteristic pattern
The patterns in men's retro style are a unique combination of traditional and modern elements. Plaid in various sizes and colors is the most popular pattern, creating a classic but no less trendy beauty.
Retro patterns such as the curved, geometric lines typical of the 60s and 70s bring life to outfits. These motifs often appear on shirts, sweaters or accessories such as scarves.

Geometric patterns such as polka dots and zigzags are also indispensable highlights. They create diversity in design and help the wearer express their own personality. Combining these patterns requires sophistication to avoid confusion and ensure overall aesthetics.
Men's retro style outfit
The art of retro clothing requires sophistication and a deep understanding of fashion. Each item when combined together needs to be harmonious in color, material and also has to create its own highlight, expressing the wearer's personality in the most complete way.
Retro shirt
Retro style shirts have distinct characteristics with a comfortable loose form and large collars typical of the 70s. The patterns on the shirt can be simple geometric shapes or classic patterns, creating a unique and attractive beauty.

When choosing a retro shirt, you need to pay attention to the fabric, prioritizing fabrics with natural drape to create a beautiful shape. The color should follow the retro trend with dark tones or gentle pastels.
Vintage jackets & vests
The jacket plays an important role in completing the retro style men's outfit. The blazer with classic shape and wide lapels not only brings elegance but also shows the wearer's luxurious style.
Bomber jackets with a characteristic design bring a dusty look of the 50s, often made from leather or canvas with typical details such as a collar, elasticized sleeves and hem.

Denim jackets with natural torn and faded details are an indispensable choice for retro style. Denim jackets can be combined with many different types of outfits, from jeans to fabric pants, creating a beauty that is both individual and nostalgic.
Retro pants
Men's retro style pants are often characterized by wide legs and high waists, creating a classic and elegant look. Pants with sharp pleats, made from high-quality fabric, bring elegance and luxury.

Straight or slightly flared jeans are basic items in the retro wardrobe. Denim material with natural fading creates a unique vintage beauty. Combining with different types of shirts and accessories will create diverse outfits suitable for many situations.
Shoes & Accessories
Accessories are an indispensable element to complete the retro style. Oxford shoes with classic design, meticulous seams create a luxurious and elegant beauty. Loafer shoes with laceless design bring comfort but no less elegant.
Berets, a typical retro accessory, can be combined with many different types of outfits to create a highlight for the outfit. Vintage sunglasses with unique designs help complete the classic look for the wearer.
