Ornate Jackets

Throwback Thursdays

#ThrowbackThursdays
Paralleling the increasingly ornate jackets and waistcoats, the fashionable formal shirt of the time began showing up columns of unassuming ruffles or subtly embroidered lace either along the placket or across the entire front of the shirt. With the new style becoming mainstream in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the patterns and effects became more and more elaborate. Other options for shirt bosoms included an ever wider range of pleats and tucks, usually with fly fronts that did not need any studs.
