I was flipping through one of my old Wittenberg University yearbooks and I thought I’d share a few pictures. The year was 1967, often remembered as the “Summer of Love”; it was a time of long hair, bell bottoms, and hippies. However, outside of the counter-culture movement, traditional American style was pretty much the same. Albeit lapels and ties were skinnier, the frames of glasses thicker and, yes, even those with conservative style had longer hair. However, this isn’t so different than trends we see today. Even J.Press (2.75”) and Brooks Brothers (2.5/8”) are offering ties under 3”, as well as skinny lapels, and hair styles are still all over the place. I guess the more things change the more they say the same. I hope that you enjoy these images as much as I do.
Always remember to have fun!
