Teenager Lives Like He's In The 1940's

[@jsedwards25]

When you find people in the world that want to be a little different and do it all the right ways, it's good to lift them up and give them a little bit of spotlight. Good on ya, lad.

[@abandonedwayamoon8749]

I agree !

[@alternateunreleasedshellac505]

It's really hard, and it takes a lot of work to pull it off.

[@sugarplumfairy420]

What a gorgeous young man. Staying true to himself and living his best life. Not being a sheep and following the crowd, but following his heart and his passions. I share your love for the 1940's too, keep up the great work Charlie.

[@maybemay96]

I’m 25 and I also adore the 1940s and wish more men dressed like this, he looks lovely and he speaks delightfully.

[@leolady6588]

That right there is a past life resonance. I can relate to him. He is brave and refreshing. And well spoken. Says a lot about his obvious love for his grans and his influences and mentors. I hope he finds the scene there that many people are part of. A different and supportive community of like minded individuals who choose to live as he does. It's hard being a modern time warper. It's also something you can't explain to people. It feels like you finally find your fit and the authentic vintage look just completes who you are. Every day. Not just for dress ups. And not necessarily following the social beliefs of the times. There is a lot to be said for the connections you can feel to the past. You feel it in the energies of vintage objects like he does here. I think he's fabulous.

[@jdm2626]

I would absolutely love to do a sort of “retreat” to a vintage town for a week. Dress up in the same clothes, walk around the main street. Maybe one of the days there would be a fair with games that would have been around during that time. Attend parties and social gatherings and such. Eat at restaurants with period correct food, utensils, etc. Would be a blast!

[@julceulemans1352]

I want exactly the same, that would be awesome

[@davidlee9026]

Knew I couldn't be the only one. I too am a teen in love with the 1940s. Just gotta find myself a 1940's girlfriend now...

[@bobeanie3102]

I agree it’s hard to find like minded people our age (teenaged) with vintage interest, especially when you’re trying to live the lifestyle and not spend so much time on the internet! I wish there was a diner or a dance hall designed for teenagers to go and meet new people, dance and play records on a jukebox:) I also feel as if boys and men who enjoy vintage are much harder to come by then girls who like vintage... not just vintage aesthetic. So it’s nice to know you’re out there!

[@davidlee9026]

@@bobeanie3102 It is rather difficult, currently the only other people I've seen who are into vintage are people on the web, who could very well live miles away. Also, I like the diner or dance hall thing. There are so few places to go these days to socialize, due mainly to people relying on the internet for social interaction.

[@bobeanie3102]

@@davidlee9026 I agree. It’s so hard to find like minded people let alone those who live near you. Unfortunately I haven’t met to many people online, mostly because I seldom spend my time on the internet (other that KZbin :) but if you meet people who interest you who live farther away than desirable, writing letters is a very old fashioned and fun thing to do to keep in contact!

[@melanielester2106]

@@bobeanie3102 hiya....... Once restrictions lift, if you look on friendsofthe40s.com any dances/40s weekends/vintage fairs etc should be listed on there, there's another one called loveofthe40s.co.uk which I believe also lists the events. I've been on the 40s scene for over 20 years and it is great fun, all like minded people of different ages.

[@LukeMerolaa]

I love the 40s!!

[@jeannenabozny5675]

Very nice to see a young person enjoy history and apply the good parts to your life. Very nice

[@mungulor]

Kudos to this chap. Thank God there are people like him in this world, otherwise we'd be living in a sterile, boring dystopia.

[@melanielester2106]

A very pleasant young man. Very smart indeed, looks like a real gent. Good on him for following what he enjoys and has an interest in. Nothing at all wrong with looking smart and well groomed (not like some outfits that you see people in these days!).

[@sugarplumfairy420]

Love this! I can so identify with you Charlie as I have held a love of the 1940's close to my heart ever since I was a little girl. I think I got it from my nana too who was born and grew up in England, before emigrating to Australia later. It was a difficult era for sure, but also so many positives about it as well. I love everything about that century, from the fashions to the simple lifestyle. I particularly love a couple of references you made which are straight out of my favourite tv show "Goodnight Sweetheart", where Gary (the time traveller) lives in 1990's Cricklewood and Phoebe's husband in 1940 worked in a custard powder factory before being enlisted. I have never heard anyone reference those in real life until now, awesome!

[@Tempe1962]

This guy is a teen? Seems more like a 50 yr old. Good for him for living this way.Wish I could.I'd pick the 20's or 30's.

[@YountPower]

I dig the commitment! You go, young man! Keep on keeping on.

[@mr.atomic2970]

I do the same i love the high waisted trousers and the abstract ties of the 1940s.

[@Abby101]

It's good to know I'm not the only teen in love with the 1940's. I wish I had the ability to live like this. Good on you :)

[@ColonelFluffles]

This is basically a boy, you can see it and hear it, but yet the way he dresses makes him look like a man. That's why I really like that old style of clothing. It's really stylish, looks incredible and makes you look like a classy and responsible gentleman.

[@queenbeekeeper]

You will be a real catch. Articulate but not bossy, confident but not pushy, different but not weird and respectful of those who came before us. She will be a lucky girl

[@annielark6650]

You are a joy to watch, thank you for sharing your passion for the awesome 40's.....I do love the style of the 1940s very much so I can relate to you. 💋

[@barbiemortimer1322]

I’m in love with the 40s too. My house was built in 1946 and I’ve put back dado rails and I’ve wallpapered rooms 40s style and furniture. You can’t beat it😘. My kids when they were growing up when they brought friends home they used to say it’s not that we can’t afford new furniture 🪑 it’s like this because my mum loves the the era 🥴😂.!. They’ve left home now and I still decorate 40s style 😘❤️❤️❤️❤️. You keep it young man 👍🥰

[@Alexander-dn4rw]

I love vintage styling and vintage things like radios and vinyls and stuff like that, but man am I in love with his bike, I've got a 1968 Sears Roebuck that looks almost just like it, 3 piece crank and 3 speed rear hub, beautiful

[@evanreiter747]

Why blend in when you were meant to stand out

[@florjanbrudar692]

Yeah, blending in can be truly boring.

[@rosexox7520]

I’m 17 and I would be so happy if phones got banned and we had to go back to normal and speak face to face everyday and travel to certain places, ring up on a home phone instead of messaging. Writing letters. I love it

[@truthtellerbelievethat1813]

You're bad at 20 years old.You don't know s*** about the past.Live your life in today's time will be happy

[@exploreexostanexoandsuperj8096]

I spent years living during the 40’s too, it started when I fall in love with world war 2 when I was 14, I’m 21 now…. I’m not gonna get married, to hard to find a man who’s willing to share the lifestyle

[@exploreexostanexoandsuperj8096]

[@anonymous-cx7ng]

[@STRANGER-wm2op]

I want to live like this. And yes I feel like that iam not from this Era. Can't wait to do this.❤

[@dustbowlhammer7119]

Completely understand, I have always been fond of things from earlier times, there is a magic there that modern things don't seem to have xD. Plus, you are caring for something that can not be replaced, it would be nice to know that after I pass away, objects that are over 100 years old may have a chance at living on, and not end up in a landfill somewhere!

[@lorettacatron6670]

I wish more kids would do this. The 1940’s & 1950’s are a great time! People respected each other respected themselves dressed appropriately even just simply going for a bike ride you dress appropriately the kids nowadays dress so inappropriately and if you’ve ever seen tik-tok you know what I’m talking about Good for you young man

[@jbradshaw4236]

Absolutely marvellous . Good for you

[@rossmorebaz]

i have a take on this...this man is trying to connect with a past life . perhaps the 1940s was an amazing special time in his life and he obviously feels a strong desire to return to have life as it was in that period

[@andrewschrotenboer9445]

My hat is off to you. Always thought about doing something like this, but haven’t had the nerve to do it yet.

[@angelabrown2360]

lovely young man, good luck to you xx

[@bradfordbroswtent.8450]

Don't know if this young man is going to read this, But all the very best to you. Great idea actually. It would be a nice idea if there were actual villages that were made to be and catered to life from maybe the 1920s up until the late 1950s.

[@b.gauthier8610]

Is this growing retro trend a modern phenomenon (for the last 2 decades) or is it just that the Internet has exposed it more? I do not remember as a child hearing about people actually living a past era. Of course, at school. we had a retro-theme party/day once, but young people were mostly happy with contemporary fashion and trends. Just wondering.

[@Mr.SLovesTheSacredHeartofJesus]

I say good for him. Be yourself and live the way you want too. But, where is he getting thousands of pounds to buy his stuff?

[@user-dw8vz8bd8z]

I fell in love with history at a very young I dress in 40s clothes and suite a lot of the time and black Oxford shoes I’ve done my home mainly 40s style my beautiful wife to be does no share my interest in history but we still love each other very much we do modern things and use modern technology and so does are daughter but we compromise on things and work as a team what I love is even though my wife to be does not love history like me she’s the kindest hearted ❤️ person I know she got the true 1940s woman in her personality.

[@phillipmarlowe0525]

Absolutely love his suit

[@dingus_doofus]

He means his parents spent thousands to support his extravagant lifestyle. That being said the fact that regular ol' menswear is now "extravagant" says a lot about just how much things have deteriorated both in fashion and especially in real wage stagnation. His mustache definitely needs some refining though. Combined with the babyface (unavoidable in our age it seems, it must be an environmentally triggered hormonal issue) it makes him look 12. A very unbecoming look.
