Now I am, to be honest, not the person to talk about the clothes of the 60s. I know in North America at the dawn it was madras shirts and white chinos on the west coast and black chinos and black turtlenecks (often with berets) on the east coast. And scruff and leather from the growing biker element. And the UK had the mods and teddys? I think. And then about mid decade we embraced Carnaby ( I do remember owning an Edwardian coat..double breasted and high collared).

Of course it was a moot point for a large percentage of us. If you were in secondary you did not have long hair, you did not wear jeans or boots..or tennis shoes in many areas. For that matter tie wearing was still expected even in some Universities, at least on Sunday.

And then of course came t-die and jeans and sandles and beads. And often to no clothes at all..but that is another story.
