When Men Used to Dress ✨Like That✨ (Men's Fashion in the 60s/70s & the Peacock Revolution)

  • Basically me talking about how drastically men's fashion changed during the 60s and 70s in a way that was very unique and fun it was. This is probably a one off since I'm not really into men's fashion but the subject matter was very interesting and I think more people should talk about how much fun men's fashion was in this specific time period and how it came to be. Obviously this is an overgeneralization so if you see anything that needs correcting definitely let me know!

    If you want to learn more about the Peacock Revolution I highly recommend the book Peacock Revolution: American Masculine Identity and Dress in the Sixties and Seventies by Daniel Delis Hill because it's amazing and goes into so much more depth.
    Thanks for watching!

      Y E S, I'm digging this aesthetic. I've been lucky in the sense that I can fit into a lot of women's clothing, but I'd really like to have more 70s style pieces designed for male figure to be on the market. All that's available now is just reproductions or actual vintage and they have their drawbacks.

      The thing is mainstream fashion is all about profits. Through sexism, homophobia and one-sided hypersexualization it is hard to turn things around once again for the better. The only high street online brand that keeps the hope alive is ASOS. It's up to the smaller brands (e.g. nu-in) to highlight that fashion can be genderless, the body is all that counts. I also wish it would be different: Flared pants (60s-70s), tight leather aesthetics (80s), high waisted pants (up until 90s), leggings (80s), etc. It all has been there for everyone already. Now it's pretty much all for one half and other half gets 1000 shades of grey without a lot of variation.

    I LOVE men's fashion from the 70's and many TV shows from that era. Even conservative "suited up" outfits had a pop of color or an interesting pattern/material/silhouette. Mustard yellow turtlenecks, earthy brown jackets, flared collars, high heeled shoes, etc.
    It might be out of style in the mainstream, but I follow a few IG accounts of Millennial/GenZ men who embrace this 70's style and it's a huge style inspo for me. Basically any guy who wears 70's inspired fashion gets an instant follow from me ahaha.

    The late 60s, from 67 to 69 was the peak of mens fashion in the mainstream in my opinion. Like if u picked any random guy, not even a fashion nerd just any young man, the average style was best at that point in my opinion.

    Mens fashion is still exciting and loud just not as prevalent as the 60's/70's and is seen more often in large cities rather than every town like back in the day. Dressing boldly also comes with understanding design and fashion, if your not in the industry or care about fashion it's not important to you. most guys who casually shop only see ads from companies with basics so you can probably guess that most guys will gravitate towards that type of wallflower look. I think the resurgence of Gucci though in 2015 with Allesandro helped men be more adventurous with style.

    Loved this video! I really wish men and mens fashion embraced more bold styles and colours nowadays. Hopefully with artists like Harry Styles pushing the boundaries we see a 2nd Peacock Revolution. Something I really wish we adopted from that time was a more cropped jacket/sweater look for men which I think gives a much more flattering silhouette that emphasise the longer legs and a less slouchy torso.

I don't even care if I am percieved as queer, but if you tell people you are in fact interested in the opposite sex only and not trans, you get called an egg or any other slurs for "invading" queer spaces it's frustrating. The gatekeeping is way too much. So back to the hoodies we go. So if you wanted to know why guys are paranoid about this, there you go. I know girls suffer from the same shit btw, just saying.

    Holy, thank you for making this video! I’ve been going crazy thinking about how beautiful and immaculate men used to dress specifically any time before the 80’s. Just gorgeous men... looking so empowered and bright, hair full and big, platform boots and pants that, as someone once said, were “tight but never threatening...” Even the chest hair I admire, like they just feel so confident in themselves. I especially love the scarves and more romantic details like frilled and floral shirts. Feminine elements do not equal lack of masculinity AT ALL. And then I look around today and just feel so frustrated! I wish men would dress like they did again, they really did look so handsome and sexy, warm and welcoming, confident and classy. Confidence without seeming like a hot shot or an ass. A big chunk of the men I’m most attracted to are all musicians from that era! 😂😍 Every one looked amazing and happy to be there. I wish that era of style and colour would come back, for both men and women. The world would be better for it! No more Canada Goose vests, True Religion jeans or sweatsuits please! 🤭

  • @whatsup968

    So I see you making a lot of points about how men's fashion was greatly influenced by the Beatles and the British Invasion
    I wonder if we will be saying similar things about kpop groups like BTS in the coming decades
    I mean people are already recognizing that kpop is challenging aesthetic ideas of masculinity, even over here in the west. And the challenge to conventional masculinity is a big theme in this video, too
    And I kept thinking of the BTS mv for "Dynamite" while I watched this. It's full of flair! Relatively older groups like SHINee also have really pushed it with their fashion in the past, and multiple male kpop idols are known for fashion beyond black suits. Heels are pretty common too. And when you were talking about black suits at the beginning I kept thinking about the fun red carpet fashion kpop idols, including boybands, often show off
    Feliz and Chan in Stray Kids have also been noted for reaching into more feminine looks. Felix most notably with makeup and Chan had a photoshoot in a skirt I believe? Many members in Stray Kids have something going for them in this department, actually
    And a member of Nu'est named Ren I remember saying he loved dressing more femininely. Literally if you google him the first article is about him challenging gender norms lol
    And TAEMIN wow Taemin from SHINee makes androgyny an art. Like he genuinely has said he's going for androgyny in his music videos and he really does it. Everything from the clothes to the dancing is like the epitome of androgyny. I think his mv for "Move" is the most well-known in this regard bc it's when it started really being apparent in his releases

    This is so cool! I loved all the footage you chose and the way you edited it together. You are so well spoken! :)
    I've been a huge Beatles fan since I was a kid, and even as a woman, George Harrison is one of my main style inspirations. All of them dressed so well, but his style (and his wives' styles, yay Pattie and Olivia) speaks to me the most (for anyone interested, look up photos of him in Hamburg in '60-'62, what he wore to events like the Apple Boutique opening and Wonderwall movie premiere in '67-'68, the way he painted his home, Kinfauns, and his outfits during his Concert for Bangladesh in '71 and Dark Horse tour in '74).
    I think men look so fabulous in sharp suits, and in all-over mixed colours and prints, and I would love to see those trends come back! Men - and folks in general - who are fearless with fashion are really so admirable. The 60s and 70s can serve as huge inspiration to dress however you want and have fun with it!

    • @inmylifeivelovedthemall
      @inmylifeivelovedthemall 3 роки тому +3

      George and Pattie definitely are fashion icons! My favorite outfit of theirs are when they went to court for marijuana possession. I believe during 67 they wore alot of Granny Takes A Trip clothes. His orange suit he wears for Blue Jay Way is also a great outfit.

    I graduated High School in 1975. I remember the base uniform was faded flared jeans, Dingos(harness biker boots) or sneakers, wide belts w/ big buckles, and T shirts topped off with an open denim western shirt or a patterned shirt. The Ts could be plain white, solid colors, and/or classic graphics like your fav bands, or underground comics like Mr Natural/Keep on Trucking, etc. In the winter I wore a surplus Navy peacoat. Funny now that Im 66 yrs old and retired I dress pretty much the same. Jeans minus the extreme fading and flare, a more mid sized belt, and work boots or white sneakers.

    The one major downside of most of these clothes (related to the advent of fast fashion) is that they're ALL polyester blends - plastic clothes like that disintegrate and don't breathe at all. If we could keep the exciting forms + color and discard the unsustainable/uncomfortable materials that'd be ideal.

    you can watch an interview with Malcolm McLaren where he basically says that the boutiques in 60s London were originally located on one street (I forget the name). And catered mainly to gay men. The mod style (collarless) was adopted by the Beatles which suddenly made those stores popular with straight men wanting to be on trend. Unfortunately this resulted in most of the stores being bought out essentially ending what had been a fashion hotspot and place of community for gay men in the 60s

    In the Sixties, very few young people had any money, so if you wanted to dress up, the thrift stores were the places to go. I tried a few hippy fashion things in the late Sixties, but they all looked pretty stupid. Up until a few years earlier, my mother had been buying my clothes. I had never paid any attention to fashion and had no personal taste. I mean when I went to high school, even the girls had no fashion sense, nor did they have any spending money. THEIR mothers were probably buying their clothes. It really wasn't too important how you dressed in the Sixties. Guys dressed in jeans or whatever. it was okay to dress more interestingly, but it was also okay to dress shabbily, or even to be dirty. There was one guy at my college who never wore shoes, even in the winter. That was a sort of fashion statement too. My older brother got roped into a fashion show at his college. He modeled Carnaby street clothes with fellow-student Harold Ramis (of Ghostbusters fame). They were chosen, not because they had any modeling experience, but because they were some of the only people on campus with long hair! My two pieces of hippy clothing were a pair of sneakers with "Be extreme in everything you do" written on the side, and a bomber jacket with "Kali Yuga Space Cadets" painted on the back--with a picture of the earth being zapped by flying saucers. And yes, I did wear that..
