For The Men
Finishing touches for him
To truly embrace the era, it’s all in the grooming and small details
Cufflinks & Hardware
Choose swing-back cufflinks, add a tie bar positioned between the third and fourth buttons, and consider a collar bar, the 1940s “secret weapon” that keeps spearpoint collars sharp and perfectly in place.
Hair
A good pomade is essential. Aim for a neat side part with a slight pomp or a classic slick-back. Avoid matte products, a touch of shine is key for period accuracy.
Shoes
Classic leather brogues in two-tone (brown and white or black and white) make a striking statement, while a polished leather Oxford is always a timeless choice.
Ties
For a 1940s look, choose a wide tie that finishes around two inches above the trouser waistline. For the 1950s, opt for a slimmer “ribbon” or knit tie.
Hats
Complete the silhouette with a fedora for peak 1940s sophistication, or a newsboy cap for a more relaxed look, after all, a true gentleman knows his hat etiquette.
Braces
Opt for braces instead of a belt, and always choose leather loop styles over clip-ons for an authentic finish.
For The Women
Finishing touches for her
To complete the look, the right accessories and styling details make all the difference.
Gloves
A must-have accessory. Short, wrist-length crochet gloves were the standard for daytime weddings and add an authentic vintage touch.
Hair
In the 1940s, styles featured victory rolls or a “middy” cut with soft, sculpted waves. The 1950s introduced high ponytails with a heavy fringe, as well as soft curled bobs or voluminous sets styled with rolls or pin curls.
Make-Up
A clean cat-eye with winged eyeliner paired with a matte red lip creates the perfect finishing touch.
Shoes
Round-toe pumps with a sturdy “Marilyn” heel or elegant ankle-strap T-bar shoes capture the 1940s aesthetic. For a 1950s look, opt for pointed-toe or classic kitten heels.
Hats
For a true 1940s statement, choose a picture hat with a dramatic wide brim to elegantly frame the face. Alternatively, opt for smaller, structured styles such as a pillbox or a fascinator worn tilted forward on the brow.
