60s Mens Fashion Biography

Rewind back to the 60s, no matter how absurd and outlandish the style, we all had that “MUST HAVE” garment. Fast forward to 2015 when reminiscing about the good old times, emphasis on old, we sometimes shake our head in disbelief and say “what was I thinking / wearing!? The 60s were all about “excess” and “brands”. You HAD to flaunt it; otherwise you were just the odd one out. Every trend, every look and every piece of clothing had to be grand. This rule applied to both men and women. Here’s a look at the top mens styles of the 60s that can be easily modernized and wearable today.

1. Colorful Pants

First thought that comes to mind when viewing photos of pants from the 60s “headache” is what comes to my mind. The 60s were all about bright, bold, colorful patterns. The bolder the better! Today designers are incorporating these vivid bright hues into everyday wearable chinos. In my opinion bright colors look great on pants, just make sure your pants don’t fit like they are from the 60s. Clothing stores like French Connection offer an array of boldly colored slim fitting trousers that will definitely catch people’s attention, in a good way!

2. Classic Blue Denim

White tees and ripped-up blue jeans. Mimicking that Bruce Springsteen “Born in the USA” look, the 60s were all about denim on denim. A great rule to pairing denim on denim is to make sure that the washes contrast from one another. Have a great light washed denim jacket or vest, pair it with some dark washed jeans. Levis, the king of denim has some great go to pieces that you can easily incorporate into your denim look.

3. The Yuppie Look

The word YUP stood for Young Urban Professionals. This look was characterized by a classic polo shirt with the collar facing upwards, worn with jeans and a sweatshirt that hung from their backs. If you want to put some prep in your step, an easy way to make this timeless style look like it belongs in 2015, DO NOT leave your collar facing upwards! Ralph Lauren, the master of upscale prep has designed some great summertime looks for those of us who want to keep our dressed-up cool.

4. Ray Bans

Whoever called fashion trends of the 60s absurd and shady weren’t thinking of Ray-Bans! Help made popular by actor Tom Cruise, in movies like Top Gun and Risky Business, Ray-Bans are still popular today. Keeping with its classic wayfarer and aviator style, Ray-Bans have now introduced two more distinct styles, Clubmaster, and Jackie Ohh. If you are looking for a timeless piece to look cool in the summer heat, Ray-Bans are your go to shade.

5. Raver Pants

Some style trends are best left in the 60s. R.I.P. Raver pants, which were also known as “phat pants” a favorite among high school kids in the 60s. They signified the “cool dude” look. Raver pants had the most hideous color combinations that ran along the length of your leg, completely covering your shoes, tapering widely at the bottom. Sometimes we just need to pull the cord and put a trend out of it’s misery. R.I.P. – RAVER PANTS 60s.

6. The Polka Dotted Shirt

The polka dotted shirt is another fashion trend which crossed over from 1930s into the 50s (see the famous British pop star Davy Jones, the frontman of the boys band The Monkees donning the black polka dot short).

Polka dotted shirts were popular in blue, brown and black, but there was something in the water back then that made all the men go for the red polka dotted shirts.

The red polka dotted shirt possessed a kind of charm that made men fall for it. It probably had something to do with red, the color of passion for every man in the street, at workplaces, at places of social entertainment was wearing these. If you sit down to watch a couple of movies or television shows from the 60s, the red polka dotted shirt is not going to miss your sight.

Polka dots have vanished from the men’s fashion scene; however, they are still doing well among women.

7. Striped Trousers

Men today prefer their trousers to be plain colored without an inch of print on it. That wasn’t the case in the 60s. Trousers with horizontal and vertical stripes on them were quite popular in the 60s. The trousers were either striped both horizontally and vertically or simply vertically. Either way, this trend was quite famous among men back then.

Striped trousers were usually light pastel colors with darker shades of stripes on them. They were either bell bottomed or had straight cut.

Fads come and go. With the 60s behind us we are now looking into the future of modernization. Weather knowing it or not, we still incorporate past decades into our wardrobe. The best way to take something from the 60s and bring it into 2015, is by changing the fit and styling of your garments. Laterz
