Workwear style is an important branch of the American retro style, the long history of the United States, dating back to the 18th to 19th centuries, when the U.S. economy is booming, a large number of factories, and the workers wore overalls is the prototype of the workwear style.

In 1884, the proportion of U.S. industry in the national economy for the first time exceeded the agricultural sector, a change that marked the basic industrialization of the United States at the time. A large number of immigrants flocked to the United States to become industrial workers, workers need strong and durable fabrics made to go to work uniforms (WORKWAER), and from then on the multi-functional workwear was born.

Workwear style representative of the single product

Talking about the style of work, we may think of denim and canvas, the two representative materials, but the work of the style of what specifically includes the single product?

Work shirts

Work shirts are typically characterized by one or two pockets on the chest, a looser fit than regular shirts, and plainer fabrics, with Denim-Denim and Chambray-Junior being the main ones.

Denim on the left, youth cloth on the right

But over time, the workwear style has become diverse in its choice of fabrics for shirts, such as oxford spinning.

The original need for workwear is to aspect daily work, so in the selection of colors will rarely use bright colors, mostly earth tones, military green and other less saturated colors, which has developed to the present day has not changed.

Worker's jacket

Work boots

In retro styling, the importance of work boots is no less than the existence of denim pants, and in the hearts of clicker fans, work boots with history and heritage is the ultimate faith. With jeans or overalls, they are full of strong testosterone.

What to wear

As a living fossil in the fashion world, the life of Bill Cunningham, the "originator of street photography", was a legendary one. Although Mr. Bill Cunningham has passed away, the scene of him wearing his iconic blue French work clothes, riding a Schwinn bicycle and carrying a camera on the streets of New York and major fashion shows should be the best interpretation of the work style in the minds of many people.

Like Grandpa Bill, I believe that many men are loyal fans of the work style, but in the streets of the work style, how do you wear in order to be superior?

One piece

The easiest and smartest way to wear a workwear style is to wear one piece, which is a full body of workwear items.

For example, if you wear a suit directly like this, you can wear it neatly and casually with a little bit of retro flavor.

Or with a loose version of the backpack pants with a work jacket, and then foot on a pair of work boots, easy to create a work style.

Mix and match

Work pants with a tough guy atmosphere with elegant suits to interpret also no sense of contradiction, inside the casual models of shirts, appropriate roll up the legs, and then with a pair of sophisticated leather shoes, senior sense needless to say. In addition, even if you take off the suit, it is still spirit decent.

In the winter, you can replace the ordinary suit with tweed, to be honest, the texture of tweed will be more in line with the style of workwear, is a very gentlemanly workwear style.

This year's popular corduroy jacket can also be used to mix and match with the work pants, with a pair of canvas shoes, you are the retro myself.

Stacking
