On the heels of a style edit that prepared us for the gym, East Dane embraces retro sentiments for a flashback from the 1950s. Actors such as James Dean, Rock Hudson and Elvis Presley come to mind as the retailer features essential menswear styles that bring to mind the beloved era. Here, trousers are lean and the short-sleeve shirt is king. Accented with stylish sunglasses from Ray-Ban and Persol, other timely staples include bomber jackets and leather boat shoes.
