They’d roam around the hippest places in London and Brighton, showing off their new designer clothes or riding their Italian scooters. It’s the mods, ladies and gentlemen! A true staple of 60s fashion, the mod style has never completely disappeared and, while it stayed underground throughout some decades, it has seen more than one revival. Discover its origins and learn to dress like them with our guide to mod fashion! Credit: Shaping a Generation History of Mod Fashion Credit: GQ This eclectic sub-culture relied on two main pillars: music, since mods (modernists) listened to modern jazz, ska and soul rather than the rock’n’roll favoured by rockers, and fashion. It actually originated in London in the late 50s, but it was during the swinging sixties that mod fashion really took over, with its focus being Carnaby Street and its boutiques. The mods were post-war working class people who didn’t recognise themselves in the values of the previous generation: instead of being all about work and responsibilities, they lived to invest their hard-earned disposable income in designer clothes and trendy events, practicing a newly-found cult for the cool. They also took inspiration from Italian and French films and magazines to craft a clean and sophisticated style. Credit: Pinterest Quadrophenia, based on the album by The Who.

Another notable revival came in the 90s thanks to Britpop stars like Oasis and Blur, who added new elements to it. The next one? The one you’re going to create by embracing some mod inspiration! Mod fashion for Men Credit: Pinterest The polar opposite of rockers’ leather outfits and greasy motorbikes, mod fashion was about sophistication: some boys would also wear makeup to challenge gender roles. If you wanted to be one of the cool kids, you needed to have at least one suit, often pinstripe and, even better, tailor-made. Round collar shirts with thin ties and tight wool or cashmere jumpers were also a popular mod look, whereas, for a more casual style, they opted for Polo shirts. Vintage 70s Henley Suit Lacoste Khaki Polo Shirt Shop Vintage Suits Shop Vintage Polo Shirts Shoeware was another important mod statement and consisted of Beatle or Chelsea boots and Clarks. But let’s be honest: there isn’t a single fashion item that screams MODS louder than a baggy parka, perfect to protect their curated outfits whilst riding their Vespa or Lambretta. Other popular alternatives were trench coats and Harrington jackets. 80s Belgian Army Parka Purple Patagonia Cashmere Jumper Wrangler Floral Print Shirt 90s Armani Beige Straight Leg Jeans Black Leather Gucci Ankle Boots Shop Parkas Shop Mens Vintage Shirts Shop Harrington Jackets Shop Mens Vintage Jumpers Shop Shoeware Mod fashion for Women Initially, female mods opted for androgynous looks, rocking short pixie haircuts or bobs and often wearing men's clothes. With the bustling arrival of the swinging 60s, however, they started mixing them with more feminine elements, embracing Mary Quant’s revolutionary miniskirts and drawing inspiration from models like Twiggy.

They were often sleeveless and adorned with Peter Pan collars. Since mini skirts and dresses were getting shorter and shorter, stockings would no longer work: it was time for bright colourful tights, perfect to create different outfits with the same dress and to rock some flat shoes. Knee-high boots were another signature choice.

False eyelashes and strong eyeliners were a must to recreate Twiggy’s iconic makeup and doe eyes! And, if you wanted to make a bold statement, accessories like big sunglasses and large plastic bracelets were exactly what you’d go for.

Ticking all the boxes within this definitive 60s futuristic mod category; deliberately outrageous, unapologetic, provocative, ice breaker talking point and of course, guaranteed to upset conservatives and anyone with poor taste. This is the image that most people would have a version of in their minds eye when thinking about womens 60s sunglasses. Albeit that version would often be white and black instead of this slightly mind bending psychedelic aquamarine colour which we are quick to confirm, is near enough impossible to find especially with matching frame and lens. They have real glass lenses which are now a specialist product in todays market that's exponentially more expensive than plastics in the same way as laminate vs wooden flooring/worktops etc. Used and pre owned in good overall condition. There is a small amount of movement at the hinge rivet ( up and down not side to side ). This does not affect the fit or function but needs mentioning. It will not deteriorate unless mistreated. • frame width (outside widest point): 142mm • frame height: 60mm• bridge width: 21mm • inside hinge to hinge: 135mm Returns accepted.

Mod is a subculture that began in the United Kingdom in the 1960s and spread, in varying degrees, to other countries and continues today on a smaller scale. Focused on music and fashion, the subculture has its roots in a small group of London-based stylish young men in the late 1950s who were termed modernists because they listened to modern jazz, although the subculture expanded to include women. Here is a collection of black and white photos showing mods on streets in the 1960s.

The images, gifs and scans here come from the Tina Aumont Tumblr Over the course of the past, say, twenty years, I’ve gradually become more and more aware of the late actress Tina Aumont, who died in 2006. She’s one of the great (albeit largely unknown) beauties of the 60s and 70s, and a sort of gorgeous bad girl “Zelig” figure uniting disparate famous people from old school Hollywood types to the Warhol crowd and 60s and 70s European film notables. Truly she was the junkie underground “Kevin Bacon” game connector of the era, if nearly forgotten today. I first laid eyes on the luminous Aumont in Joseph Losey’s Modesty Blaise, but she was billed there under her married name Tina Maquand. I probably first read her name in Richard Witts’ Nico: The Life and Lies of an Icon, his 1995 biography of the Velvet Underground chanteuse. The first time I actually saw Aumont onscreen—and had any context for her—was later that same year when she was an interviewee in the Nico: Icon documentary. So my entré to Tina Aumont was being a big Nico freak, which invariably led to an interest in the films...
