"Because the 60's are so interesting, I'd like to take a minute to talk about men's fashion and a couple of key points because the men's fashion actually paralleled the women's fashion in this era much more so than other ones. The women's rights movement and a lot of the stuff happening all around the world forced a sort of, not a gender equality, but sort of a merging of male and female culture. There was a lot of androgyny and there were a lot of similarities in the way that men and women dressed. The first piece is something that a mod would wear. It's a tie. It's in gray, which is a neutral. Black and white, obviously gray is a combination of those two. And you'll notice that the tie is much thinner than a tie that we might wear today. Ties in the 60's were sometimes even thinner than this, as thin as the back of this tie which you can see right here. And it's interesting, because both in the decades before and after the 60's, in the 50's and the 70's, ties go back to being really wide. But this would have been worn with a suit, a black suit and a white shirt by a mod guy. Now, let's look at something that a hippie might have worn but a little bit later in the series. Right here is a great pattern, it's a natural fabric. It's a natural pattern. We have sort of the psychedelic remnants, again. And this is sort of a take off on a shirt that you would wear under a suit. There was still some formality among hippies. But they sort of liked to make fun of the general conventions. And so, whereas a mod would wear a normal white dress shirt and his accessories would maybe do it, a hippie would wear this, which is a dress shirt but it's making fun of how serious it's supposed to be."
