Hairstyle was a crop, my aunt was a hairdresser at the time and I remember asking her to cut all my hair of short to follow my hair line. We called it 'The Mod Swagger'.Īs the style progressed I wore a dark green mens tribly hat to match the trim on my coat. This meant that you put your hands in your pockets, this pulled the coat open towards the bottom, tucked your small bag under your arm and swung your shoulders to co-ordinate with your feet as you walked.
Mine was dark brown with dark green collar and pocket flaps. They must have 5-6 buttons and were worn in a distinct way, buttoned from the lapel down to the waist but teh bottom buttons were left open to enable the swagger.
Coats were either: navy blue or bottle green gaberdine macs (standard school iniform) worn without the belt, buttoned up to the neck but leaving the bottom 2 buttons open, second option was a navy blue nylon mac with eppallettes again no belt, or if you were lucky as I was you could swagger in a calf length suede coat. They had to be long, straight with a stitching line running horizontally around the hip which housed 2 horizontal pockets to teh front with flaps. Shoes had to be Hush Puppies, brown suede lace ups, stocking the palest available (tights ahd not been invented yet).Ĭlothing began as a basic wardrobe of: A-Line grey or beige knee length skirt, crew neck plain fine wool sweaters, I had a plain bottle green one and a neat/cool two tone grey and black with a diamond jacquard pattern towards the bottom - similar to golfing sweaters today.
