These 15 Classic Style Trends from Your Youth Are BACK!

About this video

The Gazette team explores 15 contemporary fashion trends that originated from classic menswear, including broader silhouettes, pleated pants, trouser cuffs, corduroys, and vintage collar styles. They trace the historical roots of each trend through different eras and discuss how these classic elements are being reintroduced to modern fashion, often associated with the ‘Old Money’ aesthetic.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that many current fashion trends—such as wider lapels, pleats, cuffs, and double-breasted jackets—have cyclical histories rooted in periods of wealth and abundance from the 1930s through 1990s
• The Gazette team notes that once-exclusive bespoke tailoring details like surgeon’s cuffs, side adjusters, and working buttonholes are now being mass-produced by budget brands to emulate high-end craftsmanship
• The Gazette team recommends choosing menswear elements based on personal taste and classic style conventions rather than chasing trends, as these styles continuously rotate in and out of fashion popularity
