There have been times when I dressed in 'vintage' clothing — garments which were much older than I was.
I did this because they were of a fine quality and very well kept over the years and I enjoyed wearing them in those days.
My tastes went through the ridiculous 'trends' of silk and pastels through the present day iteration of Dave ...
Which is largely utilitarian and business formal with shorts predominating in my retirement.
Today is Retro Day.
It goes down each February 27 and celebrates those classic aspects of our existence.
The genre encompasses everything from clothes, to cars, to music, and art so you don't have to be old-fashioned to indulge yourself in some blast from the past.
The historical past is where the roots of retro day arise and goes beyond material goods and physical possessions through trends, modes of operation, and even attiitudes.
So if you're so inclined go ahead and don the zoot suit and get jiggy !
