How to achieve an authentic 1940s vintage look for the Duxford Air Show
In short: The Spirit of Britain team explores the fashion trends of the 1940s and the Second World War. By visiting the historic Astra Cinema at IWM Duxford, they demonstrate how these sustainable styles remain relevant and fashionable today, offering tips for those aiming to capture an authentic vintage aesthetic.
The 1940s aesthetic was defined by clothing that was both practical and enduring. The Spirit of Britain team highlights how these wartime fashions were inherently sustainable, a quality that keeps them in vogue decades later. By examining the styles worn at the Astra Cinema during the Second World War, the team provides practical guidance on replicating these historical looks.
This exploration serves as inspiration for attendees of the Duxford Battle of Britain Air Show, held on September 21 and 22, 2019. Visitors are encouraged to showcase their own vintage style at the event for a chance to win a 'best dressed' prize.
