Swingin' with Stripes and Plaid in Bright colors..

The 60s...started out like the 50s that they had just left....but soon...young men and women started to dress very spiffy....brighter colors... (no more man in the gray flannel suit)...wild prints...and Mod happened.



Bright yellow jacket, big check pattern pants, bright green pants in the background...Bright blue suede loafers. The gal in the big wicker pair with her foot on a hot pink pillow...Look at the stripe jumpsuit!

I so applaud the mini-trend I see trying to educate men to grow up and stop dressing like a 9 year old. I am sick of seeing grown men, in slobby oversized tshirts and those retarded cargo pocket short/pants things ......
See Mark. ...linen slacks, crisp white cotton shirt, black skinny braces, vintage watch and vintage RayBans....


from the blog 2xbreasted, which is all about artful men's fashion.
allow me to show you how a grown up dresses.

and in 2009, a lot of that sleek 60s-ness was channeled in this Moschino spring show.

Shorter pants......not everyone can pull that off....but there's a lot of goodness there...simple classic lines and some effort in good grooming......all guys can do that much.

These early 60s Levis hopsack pants have the skinny legs and tapered hemlines. Hopsack is a rather thickly woven fabric sorta like a nice domesticated burlap, but soft.
Shorter length...nice.

Another style that Levi's has remade...... Original 1970s, another sleek style for men.

And finally, put on a real shirt with a real collar and hey...A tie!
whether you choose skinny or wide...Just tie one on & be adult about it.
