Throwback Thursday: 1960s

As we start to truck along in the world of men's fashion through the decades, I've noticed one thing has stayed the same, the need to look polished.  What that means may have changed throughout the decades but one thing will forever be the same.  The suit.
As we explore the 1960s let's take a look at their version of the suit and what else men were wearing.

You know you've seen this look before... just go raid your parents closets or bins marked "Bad Decisions," kidding, probably marked "The Good Old Days."  Bell bottoms seem to be a theme for the 60s and continued through to some other decades [which will will get to next week].  


But we can see what modern fashion took from the 1960s.  Do you see that pinstripe collared shirt?  Darring has one so similar, you'd think we were from the 1960s.  Maybe we wouldn't pair it with a knee-high sock and dress shoes, or maybe we would... would you?


And we can't forget about the suit.  In the 1960s, it seems like the only change from the 50s is the pant width.  Other than that, males knew how to rock a good looking and classic suit and vest.


But sometimes... they went blue, and matched their shoes. So that's different.  Would you rock that 1960s trend?
