Oh Behave

Younger generations tend to make a living out of mocking previous eras, and have a great deal of fun doing it. One arena where that is not always wise is, of course, fashion. The fashion world, as seen distinctly throughout men’s fashion in 2012, is a constant cycle of in fashion to out of fashion, with garments and distinct looks often fluctuating from month to month. Whether it be shorter term fashion fixes or longer term looks which came to define a generation, decrying a certain era when you could be wearing it next year has always been a practice fraught with danger.

And so it is then, that men’s fashion in 2012 has seen the sixties return to the catwalk. To be fair, the sixties is a decade which doesn’t inspire a great deal of laughs, more envy at not having been there. Whether it be The Beatles, Mods and Rockers, or England winning the World Cup, the sixties often tops polls as the decade most people would love to return to.

Such trends have seen the swinging sixties a firm staple of catwalks around the world this year, and many people are getting on board with this exciting throwback. After all, until time travel is invented it is the closest many of us are ever going to get to such an iconic period.

Sixties Style

Men’s fashion in 2012 has fully embraced sixties style, so we can all take this amazing, aspirational look straight from the catwalk and place it into our wardrobes. How ironic that not looking like you are from many years ago will lead to your fashion being out of date?! Whatever the aspect of the look, be it skinny jeans, flamboyant shirts or parka jackets, you can get an authentic sixties look with minimal effort this year.

Where To Get It

Sixties style is available in all of the top high street stores this year.
