MENSWEAR: Give Credit Where Credits Due - Part I

I am an admirer of menswear from the 1950's and 1960's as much as I am of women vintage fashion; with the sixties British trends standing out as one of my favorite of men's vintage fashion. I have long had an eye for men clothing and continue to sought them out at flea markets and vintage shows searching for savvy coats, jackets, sweaters and button-down shirts. I also like the extra room and longer proportion of men's clothing getting a more relaxed feel; at the same time getting a chic and stunning feminine effect. The fashion in the photos can definitely be part of my wardrobe.

  1960's men fashion was stylish and fit them well, and not only did their shirts contain bright and bold colors, stripes, plaids and paisley print patterns, but their slim-fit tailored suits did too.
