Hats Off to the '70s

Fashion in the 1970s has often garnered a bad reputation.  However, aside from those bell bottoms and polyester hanging in the closet, this week the Mr. Porter Journal takes a look at some classic looks sported by several iconic men in Hollywood and "How They Wore the 1970's."

I love how the article gives advice on some subtle ways to hat-tip and cut the decade some slack when it comes to men's style.  One of my favorites is the tweed lined trench worn by Ryan O'Neal in Love Story.  They suggest a Ralph Lauren Purple Label trench, but for a fraction of the price, I think this Rugby one looks just as dashing.  It's a perfect example of a piece that just never goes out of style.  Check out the slideshow for the rest of these great retro looks.


Aside from this article, the entire weekly issue of the Mr. Porter Journal is dubbed "the Retro Issue," full of interesting head-nods and shop-able looks.  Read more here!
