True style secrets from the past

We know that a lot of StyleUncut readers love vintage styling but how often are aficionados actually accurately reproducing the style of the past? This week vintage Americana fashion influencer @almostvintagestyle shared a great reel showing how men of the 1930s and 1940s would have worn and styled some of the pieces we love so much. For example instead of pairing a leather jacket with jeans they would have more often worn wool trousers or chinos.

Are Boat Shoes Really Back?

Over on gq.com this week they presented a piece exploring this classic summer shoe and asking wether we’ll be seeing it a lot more this coming season:

Another summer, another round of boat shoe discourse. It feels like just about every year—or at least every time a new Vampire Weekend album drops—there’s a fresh debate over whether the oft-derided, dad-coded slip-ons are “back.” This latest boat shoe media blitz, however, feels especially notable. They’ve been creeping their way back into fashion-world consciousness in recent seasons via the runways of Miu Miu and JW Anderson, making headway among “old money style”-obsessed Gen Zs on TikTok, and attracting headlines across the internet.

The question is: Are boat shoes actually back now, just because designers and newspapers are telling us they are? The veteran designer Todd Snyder, for one, says yes. “In menswear you have these pieces that are classics, they’re icons. Whether you consider it cool or not, once you hit classic, you’re forever in,” says Snyder, who recently dropped a collaboration with Sperry inspired by the white boat shoes he used to wear in the ’80s. “The boat shoe is forever in.”
