Everyone knows that a mustache is a stylish addition to your eveningwear – but what if you don’t have enough time to grow one before your black-tie event? Strap one on your shirt, and dance the night away in style:
Via, but don’t forget how much we love mustaches around here.
The stork didn’t exactly deliver Garanimals in 1972; one look at these uber-matchy maternity togs and it seems the retail world was pregnant with the idea of easy-to-match clothing in 1965.
“Cotton Chino Adds a Tang of Yellow to Black and White,” Montgomery Ward, Spring/Summer 1965.
From the 1983 Fall/Winter Sears catalog, cereal shirts (Trix, Cocoa Puffs, and Super Sugar Crisp) for boys — easily hidden beneath some bibs. Which just goes to show ya, boys never out-grow their baby bibs.
This retro men’s shirt by Manhattan isn’t just called The Nut Shirt for the heck of it; it has brass nut-covered buttons, dude. Available from farmcountryamerica. And I might just bid on it for my screw-y husband.
Maybe you weren’t alive and kickin’ it in the 80’s, but I was and I can assure you, both as a chick and a shoe seller at that time, that these shoes would have been flying off store shelves. Nearly every girl (and a great number of the boys) had a big — over-sized with padded shoulders — flannel shirt with such a “plaid” on it. Usually it was a bright or neon color with black, but sometimes white, off white, and pastels were married to the black too. And these slouchy flats with granny-esque buttons would have been awesome, baby.
Just think of the possibilities… Wearing your purple & black flannel under an over-sized turquoise shaker-knit sweater over black leggings, belted even, with a pair of these hot pink booties! Ah, that’s how it was done, dears. So if you want to take your retro style to the max, get these. Frankie says, “Relax, they’re on sale for just $19.99.” Sale found via Shop It To Me.
When I saw this retro Royal Pudding football player ad…
I was reminded of this vintage My-T-Fine pudding pudding pantyhose promo…
And naturally I thought of Joe Namath and his infamous 1974 Beautymist pantyhose commercial.
Another political novelty print… This time I guess the democrats lost their shirts in the election as this vintage novelty political print fashion item is only a skirt.
