How to Wear Vintage Calvin Klein This Spring - Men’s Edition

Established in 1968, Calvin Klein has become a household name in lifestyle brands. The company has gone from strength to strength, identifying gaps in the fashion and aesthetic market and tailoring its collections to current socioeconomic trends. 

CK says that it uses progressive ideals and a seductive aesthetic in order to 'thrill and inspire [their] audience while using provocative imagery and striking designs to ignite the senses'. Nearly 50 years on, the brand is carrying on with their sleek and trend-setting designs that are popular with a wide range of demographics across the world.

Here at Messina Hembry, we have a vast selection of designer vintage clothes, including vintage Calvin Klein garments just waiting for a chance to show off their timeless designs on a new owner. Now that Spring is upon us, we thought it was a good time for us to put together a vintage CK Look Book, giving you inspiration on how you can wear the premium brand at a fraction of the price.

The Out on the Town-er

 

The British Spring is renowned for giving us unpredictable weather. The morning can be bright with sunshine and by afternoon we're all reaching for our jackets and umbrellas. This is why we think that when you're out for the day, an outfit that can accommodate both sunshine and cloud is a must have. Here we have an original vintage Calvin Klein shirt that is slim fit, light and the perfect shade of blue for the Spring months. We've coupled this with a pair of dark burgundy jeans for a sophisticated and preppy look that will look effortlessly smart and look after you whichever way the weather decides to go. 

The Wanderlust-er

When Spring is in the air, the taste of Summer is tantalisingly close. So much so, that some people can't wait out the Spring months before diving straight into Summer attire. Coats, jumpers, boots and scarfs are immediately replaced with Hawaiian shirts, shorts, flip-flop and straw hats. This is a passion and dedication we admire; so we say go for it - go the full hog and start dressing like the sun worshipper you are at heart. This vibrant CK shirt is right on trend for this season's mens florals and the cropped bootleg jeans are light and comfortable and give you some protection should the heavens decide to open...

The First Dater


Ah first dates.. The butterflies, the nerves, the anticipation, the thrill, the worry and... the sweat. We've chosen a nice, smart cotton shirt for a Spring first date due to its ability to let your skin breathe through the excitement of a first date. The long sleeves and buttoned collar show you've made an effort and that you care, whilst the cotton material will help you keep you cool. One factor to bear in mind whilst dating in the Spring is that whilst the weather may be mild at the beginning of the evening, by the end of the night, the temperatures will have dropped and you don't want to be caught out, shivering under the romantic night sky. Which is exactly why we've paired this shirt up with an awesome, light jacket that is both on trend and comfy; it can also be dressed up or down.

The Office Worker

Whether you're in the senior management team, heading off for an interview or starting your first day as an intern, this easy combination is perfect for a Spring day in the office. We've picked a seasonal light pink, cotton shirt that is comfy and breathable that would look great with a black, blue or grey suit. We've chosen to pair it with this vintage navy blue blazer that again, is light and smart and will compliment and contrast well with the shirt.
