Vintage Menswear: 1954 & 1960-1962

More menswear!

The following images are featured in reverse chronological order from the years 1960-1962 with a final photo from 1954.

I know this post is about vintage mens' fashions, but I love the chunky three-stand pearl necklace and wiggle dress on the female model!

A 1961 model dressed like a 2009 hipster dressed like an 1890s dandy (according to the New York Times Style Section, if you want to take their word for it)... A thing like that! And who doesn't love plus-fours?

Glitter isn't an oft used term in menswear descriptions these days, but I heartily welcome its return!


Again, some of my favorite menswear/fashion/lifestyle blogs:
