Birmingham in 1960s

what i like about todays clothes is there is no definitive fashion so no pressure to wear one style of clothing...at least for the ladies..i see mini..midi and maxi dresses/skirts all being worn and no one bats an eye lid...its the same with the footwear and i have noticed that the sling back shoes seem to be coming back again..

Well said Lyn, I had also noticed slingbacks were coming back, I saw someone the other day with a white pair and low heels - nice! Fashion was very strict in the 60s and you had to conform or be called square! Lol.

I see men in dresses sometimes in the supermarket. Some young some old. I always fancied a sarong like David Beckham but I never had the nerve or a kilt, for comfort,. GP told me to wear a kilt but I war loose clothes. In the 60s fashions went bold with design and colour and simplicity and they were easy to make there seemed to be a lot more of dressmakers about then, Now I can't find one that does alterations for men. The last one ruined a good jacket I looked like Quasimodo!

You see people these days wearing dressing gowns and pyjamas to shop. I could not even if you paid me.
