Those biscuits you used to eat when you were a kid, and you were amazed to stumble upon some re-packaged in the super market the other day when you were all grown up or find in your friends cupboard. Famous ones include the'nice' biscuits which were anything but nice, the ring shaped biscuits with multi coloured icing on that make your teeth itch and look like some acid trip induced creation from the 60's (and still do! including pink and brown colours!) and such things as Bourbons and custard creams can be considered 'retro'
"John, check out the retro biscuits Chris has in his cupboard"

The resurgence of popularity in old-school men's grooming products, like straight-razors and shaving brushes and soap, dress attire, and cocktails. Made popular by shows like Mad Men. Differs from "metro" in that it is a more gentlemanly way for a guy to spend time maintaining his appearance. It emphasizes the notion of the "classic gentlemen".
"Hey Joe, did you just get a haircut?"
"Yeah man, I went to the barber shop for a cut and straight razor shave. I'm going retro metro."
Girl 1: "See that guy wearing the three piece suit and drinking a vodka gimlet?"
Girl 2: "The one with the fedora?"
Girl 1: "Yeah, he's hot - totally retro metro."
Once married, a wife that wants to stay home to be a domestic housewife. Taking care of the home & husband.
As in the 1950’s, not having a career or job outside of the home.
“Now that she’s married, she gave up her job to stay home & be a retro wife”
“Just like all the young new brides, she too wants to be a retro wife”
