I think the Boyfriend 1969 annual might as well have been called the ‘Miss Peelpants Guide to How Men Should Dress’. Here are The Herd and Amen Corner, rocking the stripes and ruffles respectively.
I’m very chuffed to have put in an appearance in Cision’s Top 10 UK Vintage Clothing Blogs, and in such esteemed company as well. Very nice to get recognition from such a site, even if I don’t quite understand how I ended up there! Thanks Cision! Thision.
(That’s for for any Look Around You fans out there….)

I looove that picture of The Herd, Peter Frampton was quite the cutie, they all have fab hair too!Congrats on the award as well!
Isn't it great how irreverantly they mix formal and informal?I mean, I do enjoy reading the old rules of etiquette and how you're supposed to conform to given standards of dress, but its also such fun to see people make merry with them.I hope you'll keep up occasional features on menswear from now on – I've really enjoyed this past week. There's so little about flamboyant vintage male fashions online and its sorely needed.Damn, I sound like some old dowager with the hots for young totty! Well done on your top ten placing, as well. You totally deserve it!
Phwoar! Loving those blokes so much. Puts today's pants-showing, low slung jeans wearers to shame.Hows about us being Top 10 and all that? Very exciting. xxx
I promise I will have another flurry of menswear posts very soon!!! The more I can do to encourage Dandiary (See? Ha! I will make it an acceptable word/occupation!!), the better!I think the mix of formal and informal is what is so fabulous about that era. It was the bridge between the formality of the past and the sports/loungewear of the present. Dandyish lounging was the perfect balance…Ah yes, hair, don't even get me started on hair…. They all wear it too long or too short these days. I sometimes wonder if barbers just have their equipment set to either "thug" or "Jesus lookalike". Although the latter is far preferable to the former…
Smoove dudes!
