1960s Mens Suits | 70s Mens Disco Suits

The current hipster trend for skinny suits, knit ties, and classic footwear started in the 1960s with the mod movement. 1960s men’s fashion suits started with the classic American suit of the 1950s but gradually slimmed down into an ultra skinny suit with narrow lapels, tailored waist, and a short jacket that was always single breasted. Patterns could be plain but that was too boring for most 60s men. Large plaids, checks, and stripes in earth tones or vibrant colors made the 1960s swing.

1970s men’s business suits were almost extinct. Casual was in. Bold was in. The 70s men’s suit blended classic men’s suits with the bold colors, patterns, and flared leg found on the disco floor. Men’s leisure suits or disco suits were extra flashy in bright colors and color block prints. Texture like corduroy and of course polyester added to this funky fashion era.
