Vintage Find - 1980s Avant Tux
I think I am finally coming around to accepting some, SOME, '80s into my vintage lexicon. What I don't want to accept are acid washed jeans. But I am willing to indulge in a bit of 1980s luxe or avant garde. I'm not totally ashamed of the '80s - there was a lot of great cutting edge fashion and music that was born in the '80s. Mostly, I think my aversion stems from the fact that a decade I was witness to is now becoming vintage with the young fashionistas. I'm feeling a bit old.
This week's vintage find is a jacket I would not mind wearing though. This tux-like little jacket looks a bit avant garde, a bit glam with a touch of 1930s vamp. The fox fur details at the shoulders make this jacket smolder. It's a tad femme fatale no? But if I were to wear something like this, would the youngsters get the irony? Or would they think I'm just dated?

A rule of thumb could be if I did it the first time around I can't do it again - which would be the 80s and Grunge for myself -

Me too, but isn't this jacket just killer?

Who cares what the youngsters think, most of them in SoCal are dressed very badly - grey & black hoodies don't count.
I say wear what you love and let the youngsters be jealous of your confidence and pizazz.
