Fashion Icons

          In their early years, the Beatles would wear black, then later grey, Edwardian (as in the Edwardian era in the United Kingdom 1901-1910) collarless suits. London, England, in the late 1960s there was a subculture called the Mod youth cult. They were known for their tailored Edwardian suits, which is where the Beatles got the style from. After 1964 and the Beatles, this suit became very common in brands.
          In their later psychedelic era, 1967-68, they debuted the bright-colored style by wearing paisley shirts, suits, and floral patterns. Along with their psychedelic style, they popularized the Indian- influenced style of theirs, collarless shirts and sandals.
          By the late 1960s, the Beatles had adopted the style of blue jeans, T-shirts, and jean jackets. Lennon also started the plain white suit style, influencing the minimalistic design, which was portrayed on the cover of their album, The Beatles.
         As their casual style grew, they grew their beards and headed towards the more hippie style, which eventually took over the world.

  1. Sorry, this is wrong about the edwardian suits. The teddy boys wore edwardian suits. The teddy boys were rivals of the mods.

  4. A bridal gown or Pakistani Wedding Dresses is generally the dress that is worn by the bride on a formal wedding ceremony. The style, color and tradition of the bridal dress can vary widely depending on the culture and religion of the couple's wedding participants. However, all bridal dresses share common characteristics and are worn by many couples.
