Mod Look

• The "mod look" was born in the early half of the 1960s and involved wearing tight and structured suits and pants, long-sleeve shirts, slim ties and clothing inspired by Italian fashion trends. The must-have shoe for the mod look was the "winklepicker," a shiny dress shoe with sharply pointed toes. Slim lapels and striped or patterned blazers were all the rage, along with Fred Perry shirts. The male mod look was often topped off with an Italian scooter. This look was more widely seen in England, although it was also very popular in the United States and across Europe.
  
  

Hippie Look

• The hippie look was born in the late 1960s and offered a more free-flowing, unstructured alternative to the mod style. Longer hair, wilder prints, beads and flowers reflected the current political tone of a free age. This trend involved using recycled clothing often found in secondhand shops and thrift stores, letting hair grow long and hang naturally down the back, and adorning outfits with beads made of natural materials and freshly picked flowers. Psychedelic colors and prints, such as paisley and swirls, were everywhere, as were peace signs and tie dye.
  
  

Ethnic Look

• The 1970s brought about a pride in heritage and culture, and the ethnic looks adopted at this time reflect this. African dashikis, Chinese quilted jackets and gauzy Indian shirts were worn by men of all ethnicities.
  
  

Disco Look

• The flared pants of the hippie look evolved to a wider bell-bottom look in the 1970s. Platformed shoes, which added height and gave a distinct look to the outfit, were often worn in conjunction with bell-bottom pants. Tight shirts left unbuttoned and lots of gold chains and jewelry were often paired with the rest of the outfit, and hair was curly and big. Short shorts were also a trend.
