Mens dress in the 60s
What was men’s staple wear in the early 1960s?
Since the early 60’s were still dusting off the strong conservative values of the 1950’s, menswear at the beginning of the 60s were more towards business look. Think ‘Mad Men’: fitting suits, jackets and blazers. Hats were still very much in fashion, although the leading luminaries of the era ditched them soon after.
It isn’t for nothing that the ’60s stand out as one of the most defining eras in men’s fashion. The changes in style where impossible not to notice, how the conservativeness of decades’ past had given way to a much more energetic, bold overall design. The early years, however, were heavily influenced by Italian designers, who brought a sense of refinement to men’s cuts and styles.
