I met my husband, Simon, at college. We’ve been together for 30 years and married for 26. After we’d been dating for two weeks, he took me to meet his family. I wore the dungarees because I was nervous – I come from a culture where most of my cousins had arranged marriages – and I felt as if I could hide in them.

While it is a fashion choice for many – the designs from the 90s are more basic and fit into current fashion trends a lot better – there’s also a nostalgic element to it. To be completely honest, what you’ve written about men in their 30s and 40s doesn’t surprise me at all. Not that I’ve personally had that experience with chest thumping over their latest outdoor experiences to justify sloppy dressing. Not yet. Since discovering Gentleman’s Gazette, though, I’ve become more aware of a growing culture in society of sloppy dressing or an ‘anything goes’ culture. The worst one was at a local restaurant where you’d wear neat or smart casual: I was aghast to see one customer in old sweatpants, his beer gut hanging over the waistband, an equally disreputable t-shirt and thongs. I remarked on it in passing to some of my relatives only for them to brush it off saying who cares, it’s just the local RSL. Not sure what was more disappointing: relatives’ reactions or other customers’ sloppy attire. As I get older I grow less attached to material things. I throw things out because I want to make my life leaner. It’s just a few things and a few people that are really valuable that I hold on to – the others fall off the edges and I let them go. I was ridiculously shy when I was younger. When I went to art college in 1988, I realised I needed to come out of my shell so made a real effort to make friends. One might think, “Cool. The best way to wear vintage is to just add lots of accessories.” However, that is not true. There’s something called the “cumulative costume effect,” which happens if you add more and more, especially vintage accessories. We already made a guide that highlighted the pitfalls of adding too many accessories to an outfit or the so-called “over-accessorizing.”

Hopefully,” says Fallon. “In terms of design, it has the makings of a classic and I think it’s up there compared to previous incarnations. The home strip is understated and classic, which is reminiscent of the Mexico ‘86 shirt, but the technical fabrication and details – such as the staggered tape down the side of the body – are undeniably a great modern styling feature. When I was at university, my bedroom was so cold in the winter that I would often find ice inside the windows. My mum said: “I’ll knit you a jumper.” That was 37 years ago, and that jumper has stayed with me throughout all the highs and lows of my life.

The next time I saw Mike I didn’t know what to say, so I said: “I love your dungarees.” He told me I could have them and I’ve worn them ever since. I adore them. An interesting article, but one that misses the reality. In Germany, people look at you askance if you wear long trousers in summer or a suit in general (that doesn’t look like it’s from WalMart or super skinny). For the average citizen, wearing a trench coat and hat is already a disguise. Those of us who like classic menswear and ideally not only dress classically but also value personal style in other areas of life have to come to terms with being anachronisms. As the saying goes: indignation and ridicule is envy with a halo

Co-founder of Goodhood Kyle Stewart thinks that the products will resonate with “anyone who is aware of a brand’s current status and is misty-eyed for the simplicity of brands 20 years ago. The old branding of the vintage Apple products is relatively quaint compared to their contemporary appearance.” How to help double the life of your white clothes with Vanish: Use Vanish White powder + Laundry detergent (wash cycle at 30°C) Be confident in the way you dress. Trust me: I’m no stranger to getting looks or attention when I enter a room or a grocery store. But, the alternative would be just to wear sweatpants and a hoodie, and that’s just unacceptable to me. This year the England kit was designed by Nike and features a central number, badge and sponsor combination – which many critics have likened to the ‘96 design – but will the 2020 shirt stand the test of time?
