Retro Style, The Fila Vintage Way
When it comes to retro sportswear, few names carry the same weight as Fila Vintage. The brand’s modern vintage line draws directly from archive pieces from the 1970s and 80s, with staple styles like the BB1 polo and Settanta jacket still sitting at the centre of the look today.
That heritage is a big part of why retro sportswear continues to hold its place in menswear now, especially as sporty vintage styling, classic polos and bold colour combinations keep showing up across current fashion coverage.
At Quadrophenia Alley, that retro feel comes through perfectly in the current Fila Vintage line-up.
The BB1 polo: a retro staple that still works now
The BB1 is one of those pieces that immediately gives an outfit a vintage sportswear edge. Across the featured colourways, the formula stays the same: striped polo styling, FILA branding, premium construction and 100% cotton jersey, all built around that classic BB1 shape.
Surf Spray / Fila Navy / White
This colourway feels bright, crisp and especially easy to wear. It has enough contrast to stand out, but still works as part of a simple everyday outfit.
Pair it with dark blue straight leg jeans and clean trainers to let the stripes do the talking.
Limoges / White / Frozen Fjord / Fila Navy
A cooler-toned take on the BB1, this version leans fully into that vintage sporty feel. It is ideal if you want something colourful without going too bold.
Wear it with dark denim or straight-leg trousers, it gives you a clean retro look that feels easy rather than overworked.
Navy / Raffia
This is one of the easiest BB1 options to dress up or down. The darker base keeps it classic, while the raffia tones lift it enough for spring and summer wear.
It works well for weekend plans, pub gardens or casual evenings out with dark denim and simple footwear.
White / Green
Fresh, sharp and full of old-school sportswear energy, the White / Green version is a strong pick if you want a cleaner, brighter look. 
Keep the rest of the outfit simple with dark rinse denim or smart casual trousers so the polo stays front and centre.
The Settanta track top: an icon for a reason
If the BB1 brings the polo-shirt side of retro Fila style, the Settanta delivers the outer layer that pulls the whole look together. Each featured Settanta 2 Track Top is built around the same core details: iconic Fila branding, a baseball collar, zip fastening, two front slant pockets and a polyester / cotton blend that gives it comfort and structure.
Fila Navy / Gardenia / Fila Red
This is the classic retro option: bold, sporty and unmistakably Fila.
It is the kind of jacket that gives instant character to a plain tee and jeans, making it ideal for anyone who wants a heritage look without overthinking it.
Garnet Red
This version brings a bolder hit of colour while still keeping the clean, streamlined Settanta shape.
It works brilliantly over a plain tee with dark denim and trainers for a clean everyday retro look.
Turkish Sea / Fila Navy / White
This is probably the boldest of the three, with the brighter blue giving the Settanta shape even more presence.
It still keeps that streamlined silhouette and easy wearability, but adds more impact if you want the jacket to be the focal point of the outfit.
How to wear retro Fila now
The appeal of Fila Vintage is that it does not need much styling to work. A BB1 polo with dark straight-leg denim is already a complete look. Add a Settanta track top over a plain tee and you have another easy outfit with real retro credibility. Or wear the two together if you're a hard core Fila fan!
The brand’s crossover from sport into British street and subcultural style is part of what makes these pieces so enduring.
For anyone looking to bring more retro style into their wardrobe, this is the kind of collection that makes it easy. Fila Vintage continues to do what it has always done best... taking sportswear heritage and turning it into everyday style.
