Vintage jackets... modern pants.

[Mr Vim]

I know modern pants don't have the same rise as vintage ones, but honestly, unless I'm wearing a vintage suit, I am wearing modern pants with vintage jackets. I am a smaller person and I think it fits my frame more, does that make sense? Maybe not, but does anyone else do this? Lend me your thoughts, I'd like to know.

Well, I only do that with my jeans. I buy regular waist jeans, because they fit my frame better aswell. When it comes to pants, high up works fine even when you are shorter. I do make sure they are a loose fit around the legs and everything. The '''baggyness''' makes it look right.

If you like the look and are comfortable with the look, then go for it. Mixing old and new together is always good.

I have some plain ol' Ralph Lauren slacks that I wear sometimes. They look vintage enough.

If you're wearing a tie, just watch out that you don't get that belly warmer look where the tip of your tie is acres away from the top of your waist band. A shorter vintage tie and lower rise pants can be a recipe for the too-short-tie look, if you're not careful.

Snipe,

I do keep an eye out for that, but its a good thing to mention. There's only one tie in my collection I have to worry about that with thankfully, and it's on the warnging section fo the tie rack.
