How to help double the life of your clothes with Vanish: Use Vanish Pink powder + Laundry detergent (wash cycle at 30°C) To be completely honest, what you’ve written about men in their 30s and 40s doesn’t surprise me at all. Not that I’ve personally had that experience with chest thumping over their latest outdoor experiences to justify sloppy dressing. Not yet. Since discovering Gentleman’s Gazette, though, I’ve become more aware of a growing culture in society of sloppy dressing or an ‘anything goes’ culture. The worst one was at a local restaurant where you’d wear neat or smart casual: I was aghast to see one customer in old sweatpants, his beer gut hanging over the waistband, an equally disreputable t-shirt and thongs. I remarked on it in passing to some of my relatives only for them to brush it off saying who cares, it’s just the local RSL. Not sure what was more disappointing: relatives’ reactions or other customers’ sloppy attire. Similarly on HBO’s Insecure, Issa Rae’s character, Issa, has an equally enviable wardrobe of vintage tees: Public Enemy, Nina Simone and Prince. In the show they are used both as an expression of the characters’ personalities and a narrative wink to what’s going on in the plot.
Our aim is to demonstrate the advantage of using Vanish laundry booster on top of laundry detergent to ensure more effective stain removal at low temperature while maintaining white garments brightness and condition for longer.

Fans are also drawn to kits which were worn during particular – often triumphant – seasons, adds Dean Fallon, fashion design lecturer at Birmingham City University. Those of us who like classic menswear and ideally not only dress classically but also value personal style in other areas of life have to come to terms with being anachronisms. As the saying goes: indignation and ridicule is envy with a halo
One might think, “Cool. The best way to wear vintage is to just add lots of accessories.” However, that is not true. There’s something called the “cumulative costume effect,” which happens if you add more and more, especially vintage accessories. We already made a guide that highlighted the pitfalls of adding too many accessories to an outfit or the so-called “over-accessorizing.” In its heyday, it was really warm and fluffy. I’d wear it when I was studying and I couldn’t afford to put the heating on. It’s not so fluffy now, but it’s only in the past year that I’ve had to start patching it up. I asked my mum if she could repair it. She had a go, but said it was beyond her – she didn’t have the time and patience, or the wool.
5. The White Sneaker
One day, a student called Mike invited me to a fashion party. It was brilliant fun. Lots of people were staying over, so I did, too, but the next morning I reverted to being shy Sunita. When I left, everyone burst out laughing at this weird girl Mike had invited.
The next time I saw Mike I didn’t know what to say, so I said: “I love your dungarees.” He told me I could have them and I’ve worn them ever since. I adore them. When I was at university, my bedroom was so cold in the winter that I would often find ice inside the windows. My mum said: “I’ll knit you a jumper.” That was 37 years ago, and that jumper has stayed with me throughout all the highs and lows of my life. Adding modern pieces to your outfit can make you look more rooted in the present day. ( Knit tie from Fort Belvedere) Kim Wong and his wife, Moi, wearing jumpers his mother knitted in the 1980s. Photograph: Christopher Thomond/The GuardianI bought this dress on Cuba Street in central Wellington when I was 25. There was a stall selling tie-dyed batik outfits. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw this incredible ultramarine blue. I thought: “That will be easy to wear in summer.” I was ridiculously shy when I was younger. When I went to art college in 1988, I realised I needed to come out of my shell so made a real effort to make friends. While it is a fashion choice for many – the designs from the 90s are more basic and fit into current fashion trends a lot better – there’s also a nostalgic element to it. We’ve also outlined the history of Jewellery, Perfumes, Cosmetics, Corsetry and Underwear manipulation of the body silhouette. Fashion history is a rich area to explore. The effects of past and present technology, changes in work, leisure, media and homelife that affect lifestyle trends, attitudes, fashion trends and shopping trendsetters are all covered in the various eras.
