Vintage Outfits Are What Make The Goodwood Revival So Authentically Enjoyable

I can’t be alone in saying that I dislike “dressing up” for Halloween, and to be honest, a place has to be pretty special if I’m going to overlook the need to wear period-correct clothing. But what we’ve seen over the last few years of covering the Goodwood Revival is that the classic and classically-inspired outfits on display each year are one of the aspects we’ve come to enjoy the most.

Today’s the first official day for the Revival, and in our Instagram and Facebook coverage over the weekend, on the live stream, and in stories early next week—pay special attention to the vintage outfits worn by many in attendance.

First, the clothing perfectly compliments our “Drive Tastefully” ethos, and if you’re going to be seen at an event, why not look great? As we meet enthusiasts at the event each year—who are often dressed to the nines—we’re constantly astounded by the amount of time and effort that attendees spend on crafting the right Revival look. Classic flight attendant uniforms, military garb, racing suits, and  mechanics’ overalls are usually the most popular choices, and the ones that seem to blend in seamlessly at Goodwood.
