Slick Retro Style
Wednesday October 21, 2009
I'm really enjoying seeing some of the classic groomed styles like those in AMC's Mad Men and I'm even seeing a few clients requesting such styles lately. Could this be a trend?
This is a cut I did on my client Tripp a few days ago. It's a tight classic taper into significant length on top, lots of pomade, and a slick side part. Pair this with a great suit and tie and you're one sharp due.
These types of retro styles hark back to a time when men paid attention to grooming and dressed to impress. I'd really like to see this type of style make a strong comeback.

I can’t agree more. I’m a fan of Mad Men the show, and also a fan of the classic retro look. Part my hair on the side, make it tapered tight around the back and sides, and use more than a little dab of brylcreem and pomade to make it slick. I like this ‘put together’ look. Paired with a suit and tie, you are right – its a great combo.
