The Who...Talk About Style Generations


We all know who 'The Who' are by now kiddas, right? We've written a few articles in their honor. But as a refresher, The Who continue to be one of the most referenced and iconic groups in rock history. During the 60s, Great Britain gave the world sensational music acts such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Who, just to mention a few of them. Their conquest in the US during those years is refered as "The British Invasion".

The Who one of the most iconic groups from this period, just like their musical peers, became one of the representatives of men's fashion in the 60s. We can see its members donning Mod hairstyles paired with "avant garde" clothes for those years.

The Who fashioned around the conceptualized London's Carnaby Street style. Thee above is an image showcases all the raves of the time including the velvet jacket, multi-printed scarves, wide lapel blazers and my favorite, the turtleneck. Sequins are also not to be forgotten on this stylistic train.
