Mixing new reproduction or vintage 1950s clothing and accessories with your current wardrobe can be easier than you think. Bettie Page Clothing in Hollywood is a great place to find reproductions of 1950s era-style clothing. Meow in Long Beach has top quality vintage clothing from many decades and you can find many deadstock pieces that have never been worn or very slightly used.
Shop around and add vintage scarves or jewelry to your wardrobe if you want to add just a tad of vintage flair to a more modern outfit.
For men's fashion visit Joyride: Vintage for Men in Orange, CA. They have 1930s suits through 1980s western snap shirts.
