Retro...the Next Hot Trend?

With the recent success of T.V.  shows such as Mad Men, Pan-Am, Boardwalk Empire and movies like J. Edgar, I’m noticing a momentum of retro,50s and 60’s types of looks, not only in fashion but in hair as well.  I even have a few male guests that I cut retro type looks from heavy side parted hair and have minimal texture on the top a smoother sleeker look with short sides with intentional weight left around the Parietal Ridge to a Buddy Holly style.  The band Weezer and certain Emo Pop/Punk kids started on this type of trend years ago, but with the recent success of these shows and movie, I see a more refined, cleaner versions of retro coming strongly in the main stream.

The past few years texture has been king.  I see this slowly moving towards smoother, throw back styles.  And whats not to love about this!  These retro looks provide a sexiness that is more about classy conservative looks and less about sultriness.  

If these are looks you like, I suggest being on the forefront of this trend.  Look for pictures and styles you like.  After all, you are only fashionable and chic and if you are at the front of the trend.  Let your fashion be retro, not your taste.
