In for the Old, Out for the New

As a vintage enthusiast, I was very happy on finding Vagabond NYC, an online vintage boutique specialising in avant garde and luxury from the 60s and 80s.

On my first browse of the site, I set my eyes upon this very cool jacket, an 80s Kansai Yamamoto Canary Sports Jacket. The trend for vintage sports jackets is back at the moment, and I think this number would look particularly good with a pair of bright cycling shorts, and some bright 80s courts, with a flash of gold for good luck.
And next I thank Gianni Versace for this stand out printed jacket. The beautiful curved collar adds to the great shape, and manages to make a youthful statement jacket look sophisticated.The glasses pictured are a great feature, yet don't detract from the look of the jacket. Lycra leggings would finish this off, with some wedges just to bring it up to date. But do take note, this jacket closesly resembles a tracksuit top. Loose the neckline and the pattern, and thats not couture, that's just chav.
