A Style Post: Mods, Rockers & Mermaid Trousers #1

Ahoy there!

Brighton, the spiritual home of the Mod.

Being a Mod at heart,with a penchant for biker-style leather, there was only one option for what I’d wear for a day trip to Brighton last weekend. I’d have to go with two outfits. A Fred Perry jumper and a Topshop leather biker jacket.

Trouser-wise, that was a no-brainer; a pair of royal blue, shiny, sparkly skin-tight leggings – which were, to my delight, renamed mermaid trousers by a fabulously camp fellow outside an ‘adult store’. I’ll go with that, mermaid trousers, at the  seaside  is too perfect.

Are you Mods…

Subculture: Fashion and Music

Chères Readers

I’m off out dancing this evening, it’s a long time coming and I cannot wait! So excited! In the meantime I’ve been thinking about subcultures, especially after posting about the pyjama girls the other day. I’m just posting these to represent a couple of the most well-known music-based subcultures of the last 60 years.

Teddy Boys, Mods, Punks and Skins.
