February 26, 2021 by Joseph Weber Styling Classic Menswear Looks from Decades Past
The concept of menswear that we know today has drastically evolved over the years. With the growing popularity of vintage and vintage-inspired pieces, it’s a must that one knows how to style iconic pieces. However, building an outfit that captures the trends of a certain time can be a trying task. We’ve got you covered! Here are some ways to put a modern spin on styling classic menswear looks from decades past.
The 50’s
Incorporate denim and leather into your look to complete the 50’s rebel fantasy!
The 60’s
For a 60’s look, focus on the color palette. Menswear at the time saw the rise in browns, tans, and yellows.
The 70’s
A relaxed and colorful fit makes a 70’s day look work. For the night, turn up the flair with a silk scarf, patterned shirt, and some high-waisted pants.
The 80’s
An 80’s outfit requires neon and patterns! Bust out the ugly sweaters and throw on your loudest colored jacket.
The 90’s
It’s all about baggy for the 90’s. A classic 90’s outfit warrants a little drowning in your clothes!
Vintage pieces not only have the power to completely transport one back in time, but there is a story to every item. This highlights the importance of recycling fashion because it helps preserve the past. Now you too can keep the past alive with your expanded knowledge on styling classic menswear looks from decades past!

February 16, 2021 9 Ways to Wear an Hermes Scarf
If you’re building an investment piece wardrobe, it’s likely that an Hermes scarf is on your list. It’s one of the best treasure hunt pieces to find in a resale store like Crossroads! Once you get your hands on one– or a similar large silk scarf with as much versatility– try these 9 ways to wear an Hermes scarf.
1. Old Hollywood
Step 1: Fold it in half into a large triangle and tie it under the chin. Step 2: Add a pair of your biggest sunnies. Step 3: Pretend you’re walking to your convertible for a drive along the coast.
2. As a Belt
Keep the rest of the look casual–jeans and a t-shirt work perfectly here–and weave the scarf through your belt loops for a fresh approach to a belt.
3. Loose Wrap
Loosely wrap the scarf around your next once, similar to how you’d wear a traditional winter scarf.
4. To One Side
There are two ways to get this look: tie the scarf around a low ponytail or wrap the scarf once around your neck. Either way, leave one side of the scarf much longer than the other and pulled over one shoulder.
5. With Leather
A traditional piece like an Hermes scarf looks even better when it’s worn in unexpected ways. Opt for a leather motorcycle jacket instead of a riding blazer.
6. Multi-Wrapped
In this style, it’s wrapped several times around the neck with a small knot to finish. We like how the vintage clip-on earrings make the look even more dramatic.
7. Loose Knot
The mood you’re going for is nonchalant. The knot is below the neckline and a little imperfect.
8. Headband
An Hermes scarf looks amazing as a head wrap, and the headband style is the easiest one to perfect.
9. Giant Bow
Tie a bow and then fluff out the sides for an exaggerated and fun look.
