Pre-Owned Look of the Week: Timeless Retro Influences
When we think of spring, we don't just think of bright, fresh colors and a wardrobe that reflects a sustainable lifestyle. We also think of spring jackets that still keep the warmth, sunglasses that protect against the sun, and shoes that can handle both slush and dry spring streets. Furthermore, we are not quite ready to let go of the muted, brown colors that are here to stay year-round. These classic and timeless favorites are garments that will endure over time and keep you both stylish and comfortable.

Brown shearling jacket
The shearling jacket from J.Lindeberg evokes thoughts of 60s and 70s aviation and workwear, where the wool of sheepskin served as insulation long before technical synthetic materials took over. The short, slightly robust silhouette gives the jacket a masculine and confident expression, while it feels surprisingly relevant in a modern everyday wardrobe. This is a jacket that gets the job done and sets the tone for the entire outfit – keeping you warm, enduring wear, and looking better the more it’s worn.
In the northernmost latitudes, spring has yet to arrive, and freezing temperatures prevail. The warming collar of the polo sweater is therefore a surefire choice. Made in Italy from fine virgin wool yarn, it provides a soft, comfortable feel against the body while the material breathes and retains its shape over time. A polo sweater that works just as well as an insulating layer under a shearling jacket as it does on its own – discreet, timeless, and built to be worn season after season.
Twill trousers
The look is methodically built around the jacket. The trousers from Rota Pantaloni, made from sturdy cotton twill, anchor the entire outfit. The fabric has a distinct texture that harmonizes with the jacket's robust feel and enhances the retro-inspired expression. These are trousers that could just as easily have been worn fifty years ago as they are today – straight, functional, and free from excessive details.
Chelsea boots
In addition to the shearling jacket, it is also the shoes that carry this combination. On the feet: Chelsea boots from R.M. Williams. Their simple construction in a single piece of yearling leather not only provides high comfort but also a timeless design language. These are shoes that fit perfectly into a style where practical usability meets timeless and robust aesthetics. They work just as well on the city sidewalks as on more worn gravel roads.
Pilot sunglasses
The sunglasses from Brunello Cucinelli add the final piece to the puzzle. The pilot shape and double bridge are a clear nod to the 60s and 70s. The photochromatic lenses make them just as functional as they are aesthetic. Here, we have chosen a pair from our regular assortment to exemplify the possibility of mixing Pre-Owned items with new pieces or garments you already have in your wardrobe.
