Vintage Shirts

Some form of vintage is almost always in style, no matter the date, with old trends having a proven habit of making strong comebacks. This year, vintage button-ups and Hawaiian shirts have made a strong start, having been worn by the likes of David Beckham, Rihanna, and Harry Styles in the early months of April and May!

The old origins of the vintage button-up don’t mean you need to sport an oversized, over-the-top design today. Instead, get on-trend and channel the retro feel of a classic shirt with modernised cuts and prints seen in our range of shirts. Our vintage-inspired shirts are cut in a flattering slim fit, helping differentiate your fits from your Dad’s, reading more 2021 than 1970.

Traditional wacky shirt days or nights, also known as ‘bad shirt nights’ or ‘shit shirt nights’ have a relatively broad dress code. Guests are normally asked to turn up wearing a button-up shirt featuring a bold, bright, garish, or downright wacky pattern or print. Vintage shirts are the perfect attire for a shit shirt night, often fitting the bill down to a T thanks to their bold, bright, and often downright wacky patterns. Whether your chosen vintage or vintage-inspired shirt is floral, wacky, colourful, or Hawaiian, wacky shirt days are the perfect opportunity to chuck on a crazy shirt and be confident in what you’re wearing. 

Genuine vintage shirts are typically defined as being over 15 years old, though, many shirts available on today’s market take inspiration from genuine vintage prints and styles, either modernising them or replicating them onto new items of clothing. This process of ‘vintage inspiration’ has made achieving the perfect vintage button-up look easy and affordable for lovers of bold, unique prints across the globe.

Vintage shirts are almost always in style – you know what they say, fashion takes inspiration from the past. Vintage button-ups with bold prints have been trending since 2020, and show no sign of slowing down. In fact, vintage prints are well on their way to becoming the trendiest menswear item of 2023, having been sported by the likes of David Beckham and Harry Styles in the early months of April and May!

The cost of a vintage shirt varies hugely according to the item itself, and whether or not you’re after a genuine vintage item, or something new but vintage-inspired. In addition, the cost can come down to the design, fit, and fabric. Whilst genuine vintage articles can cost from tens to thousands, we like to think our range of vintage-inspired traditional button-ups is affordable for all customers, with prices for on-off purchases ranging from £29.99 to £59.99.

Our range of vintage-inspired shit shirts are brand-new but take inspiration from the boldest, most popular, and most outrageous genuine vintage prints, from the classic Aloha design to modern wacky statements.
