Vintage Style
From the glamour of the naughty ‘40s, via the fabulous ‘50s to the swinging ‘60s, a day out at the Revival also means the treat of dressing up in authentic period costume.

Style and grace

Officers and gentlemen
The 1940s, against the backdrop of the Second World War, heralded an era of debonair style for the gentlemen of yesteryear and offers myriad dressing-up options for the Revival.
Dapper officers’ uniforms, baggy suits complete with braces, country tweeds accompanied by a trilby – moustache optional. If that does not appeal, the driver/mechanic look remains a favourite.
Ageless beauty
It might be the pencil skirt and tucked jacket, topped by a stylish hat, that appeals or land girl dungarees rounded off with a 1940s headscarf. Flowing frocks are a perennial favourite too.
With a Best Dressed competition to aim for, the accessories have to be as correct as the outfits, down to the make-up and the buttons.

Sunday best for the kids
Literally an age away from hooded tops and tracksuits, the children at the Revival tend to look like they've stepped off the pages of Enid Blyton story.
Whether it’s in vintage Sunday Best, or as a racing driver or pilot, dressing up is always fun for children, even more so when the adults join in.
