The team at lab take a constant geeky joy in tracking the prevailing trends and watching how they shine on the public stage. This week we would like to pay homage to our favorite seasonal boys trend we have affectionately called "60's summer dad" .
The introduction of some honest to goodness, bonafide men's attire has come just as the over used battle cry of our generation "thirty is the new twenty," has been screen printed on it's last t-shirt and dropped off at the thrift store donations counter for future generations to find it ironic and cool.
This bold declaration has mostly served as an thinly veiled excuse for boys and girls to dress and behave badly. Prancing about well into adult life like a wolf in cheap clothing, clinging desperately to their O'neal / Quicksilver / DC / Globe / Billabong / Insert generic skate label here.................because hey, thirty is the new twenty.
Similarly we have the "I got this shirt in LA" crowd beating Affliction, Ed Hardy, and Christian Audigier to death with their faux hawks, oversized belt buckles, and chained wallets.
Time to grow up boys. It's confirmed......... ladies like the big boy clothes.
For inspiration into your new wardrobe. Check out the AMC hit show Mad Men. This show exemplifies what the prevailing summer trend " 60's summer dad" is all about. Guys impeccably groomed head to toe. Cool slicked back hair, vintage suits, pocket squares, dress shorts, knit golf shirts, V-necks, cuff links, cool watches, slim belts, and even havana hats.
Also check out this seasons Lacoste, Donna Karan, John Varvatos, and Band of Outsiders shows.
