Mod fashion
Sharp tailoring, knit polos, neat outerwear, and leather shoes with clean sixties lines for women and men.
Mod fashion is a sharp sixties look defined by slim tailoring, neat knitwear, clean outerwear, and polished leather shoes. Straight silhouettes balance tailored wool trousers and crisp cotton shirts in navy, black, and white. Symmetry and disciplined geometry keep the outfit coherent from collar to shoe.
Postwar modernists in London started the movement by listening to modern jazz and adopting sharp Italian tailoring. Scooter riders in the sixties wore olive parkas over wool suits to shield clean cloth from road grime. Clubgoers across Soho paired neat polo collars with leather Chelsea boots for long nights under dance lights.
Baracuta provides cropped Harrington jackets with clean lines, while Sunspel crafts fine gauge cotton knitwear. Pair a collared cardigan or button down shirt with slim tailored trousers and leather loafers to ground the silhouette. Due West, WDLT117 and Utopia in Toronto carry these knit polos, Harrington jackets and slim trousers.
