AzVice Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 it's tough to live it here in arizona. wearing a jacket most of the year you'll die from the heat. and pink will get you some funnier looks than it did in the 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right type Rose color now, that works 100% right. This wikipedia article illustrates some variations of rose that at least in my opinion, will work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_(color) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry B. Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hi Vicers out there, today this post of mine turns 2 years. I started it while in Miami during my 2014 trip. So many things have changed since then, new members coming in, some members have left the board, we're on a new web platform... Life goes on folks, and I found myself with much less time to be here as well. I used to contribute with long posts and stuff like articles, pictures and music too (maybe some of you may remember my 1989 hammer-styled tracks ;-) I shared here. Anyway, I'm glad to see there are so many people still interested in Miami Vice and all the culture around it: fashion, cars, visual, graphics, music etc. I'm particularly happy to see how many young guys & gals are passionate about the Show. As far as the style, I'm not into it since the early 90s, but I like to travel back in time once in a while. Possibly I will post some pictures showing clothes and inspiring locations at the end of July. All the best everybody. Keep up the good work ;-) JB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytona74 Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Now, how's this for a "Vice" inspired clothing item... I got this out of the basement closet at my parents' house just now... this is probably the first time in 25 years that I've put it on... I bought this little gem in 1989 as a 15-year-old... having been a fan of "Vice" since I was about 12, 13... naturally, it didn't come from any Italian designer, but was a budget department store knock off (as a 15-year-old, something had to give). But hey, aside from the fact that it could do with a good clean, I could think of an episode or two of Vice where similar clothing was worn... The fabric texture is intentional, it's not due to a lack of ironing Edited July 8, 2016 by Daytona74 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicefan7777 Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Totally awesome blazer Daytona74. When I have the time I will have to post what I have in my closet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytona74 Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) thanks... and you do that, vicefan... in the mean time, I'll try to figure out what happened to my Castillo tie. I bought one black suede skinny tie in the late 80s which really looked like I stole it out of Edward James Olmos's set wardrobe...

Everywhere. And I actually love palm trees, loved them in LA and love them here and love them in our favorite show. This is the view out of my home office window, it's at a 2 O'Clock from my laptop screen: Great view thanks for sharing ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsair77 Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Still trying to adapt the Miami Vice style to contemporary times, mostly using current fashion items. Perhaps you'll spot me out there. Even the girls in the picture seem to be wearing colours from the familiar Vice palette.

Jerry B. Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Well done, Daytona74 & Corsair77. It's hard but not impossible. Even if I'm no longer into the style, this year I found a pale blue blazer, textured fabric, which is quite vicey, and if you mix it up with some vintage stuff the effect is quite surprising. Actually, some typical 80s fabric and pastel colors are the hardest things to find today. And, of course, forget about big shoulder pads LOL!

Daytona74 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Way to go, that's a pretty sharp looking outfit there, Castillo! (didn't Castillo wear a white blazer in a season 3 episode?)

Tony D. Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Nice outfit Castillo! You do look like Crockett, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.A.Castillo Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I was purposely going for the "Crockett look" there. I wasn't yet in the "Castillo zone". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.A.Castillo Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I wore that outfit to my uncles wedding the next summer (2012); only with a black t-shirt instead of the blue henley. That combo was the season 2 "Crockett look" in some episodes I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.A.Castillo Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I have my season 5 "Bad Timing" look with jeans + t-shirt & blazer pic somewhere by the way! Can't remember where though -- must be on another computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerDurden389 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I have got so many new outfits to show off for you guys (my hair is even back to the proper season1/season 2 length) but it is WAAAYYY too hot here in NYC right now. Sometime in the next few months I'm gonna get around to it. I even finally figured out how to do a decent Crockett hairstyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAQ 178 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Jerry B, great post and still alive as of today! Lol I use a touch of MV/80s style (sometimes a bit more) into my daily style here in NH without being too stand outish. Dress pants, boat shoes w/ no socks, henleys and 80s color palettes. I was just in Lumberton, NC this past weekend & while out to dinner I heard someone say he didn't know it was Miami Vice night lol. Made we proud to represent! The 80s lives on forever.
