The skinhead fashion is smart, clean and though. It is precise uniform which proclaims identity.

Skinhead fashion sources: Mods, clothes for fight and Rude Boys

As early as 1964 one could recognise mods - who resembled skinheads in that they had short, cropped hair, wore Ben Sherman shirts and Levis. The Mods eventualy split in two groups: One group, the art college or trendy mods and other group the hard mods, or the gang mods, developed into the skinheads. The mod's fanatical eye for detail became an important element of skinhead fashion.
The young people who developed this skinhead fashion and style rejected the finery and slightly effeminate characteristics of the art college mods and the hippies for clothes that were more related to their working class background. Skinheads needed clothes that would not get torn in a fight, which would stay pressed and neat and which would identify them in crowd. Donkey jackets, army greens, tough working jeans, industrial boots and braces fitted this need. Steel toecapped boots, highly polished, became a badge of identity and useful wapon until they banned at football matches.
The third source of the skinhead fashion was the hip young West Indians of inner city areas, such as Labeth or Brixton. The whites and blacks mixed freely at dance halls and clubs, both indulging a common love of dancing and music. The black youths were known as Rude Boys or Rudies. They could be seen hanging around street corners in Brixton, dressed in long black coars, later to become the crombies of the skinheads.

Skinhead fashion and hair style
In addition to clothes, hair styles are an important indicator of who you are and the subculture to which you belong. Skinhead hair style varid over time; In the early days, the crop was fairly short, then the number one crop came into fashion, giving skins the nearly bald look. By late 1969, the length had increased, giving rise to a new name. The suedehead had hair at least one and half inches long.

Expansion of skinhead fashion and style

Although the typical picture of the skinhead is boots and braces, skinhead fashion changed in the evening when skinhead went to dance halls and clubs. Skinhead suit were much like those worn by the mods. Where daytime clothes were loose and hard wearing.
The skinhead fashion spread through the football clubs, the dance halls and the dance circuits. Skinhead fashion was established before the media got hold of it. The supporters of London clubs such as Tottenham, West Ham and Chelsea, included many skinheads and these soon made their appearance known to rival supporters. Football was the major event of the week. It offered all the excitement of adventure with mates, the chance to display fanatical loyalty to your club, to prove your hardness and win the admiration. Together with the opportunity to get drunk and run amok, provided the sort of power and excitement which is denied to working class youth.

Trains the skinhead style of transportation

The method of transport, unlike the mods and rockers, was not an essential of the skinhead style, although there were scooter skins with the scooter stripped to essentials. Public transportation was an accepted way of traveling. If a skinhead crew went to Southend on a Bank Holiday Monday, which was a traditional outgoing for London's East End, they would arrive in the town by train and walk as group to the seafront. Marching along the street, with boots thudding and fingers slapping, all wearing same clothes and same haircut, the skinhead presented image of power.

1970s and Skinhead fashion revival

By the winter of 1969-70, skinhead hair was longer, parted at the side and styled, The Tonik suits were being worn in day instead of only in the evenings. Shoes (loafers and royals) were replacing boots. Braces disappeared and belts became more common. This was the era of suedehead. By 1971 hair had got even longer and was now down to the collar. The smooths with their girls, the sorts, had taken the scene. The smooths bore little resemblance to the early skins, although they were clearly of the same descent.

The skinhead fashion and style never quite died out in the East End or in the industrial Midlands. However, veru few skins were seen on the streets between 1972 and 1976. In the 1976 new youth culture rise, Punks. In the following year Punks fought Teddy boys in King's Road, Chealsea, on Saturday afternoons. Surprisingly, each of the opposing groups had their own skinhead supporters, most whom were part of a skinhead revival. The Punks needed some support in their battles with Teddy Boys, since dressed in their bondage gear, the punks were no match for teds. The successors to the old skinheads tended to side with the teds, who were pro-British while punks were anti-royalist. The skins who sided with punks where a new breed.

The new skinheads revived the most extreme elements of old skinhead fashion and style and exaggerate them. Heads were shaved completely or the crop bleached. Only boots, jeans and braces were revived, nos suits were worn. The swastika, already adorning many a punk T-shirt, was flaunted in the form of facial tattoos and the public was taunted with Nazi salutes. The skins gave out the image of an almost robot uniformed army.

The skinheads who supported Teddy Boys were traditionalist; they were reviving almost exactly what original skinhead had been, with their smartness working class ethics and attitudes.

To look at your every day gent going about his business, there is little to suggest anything of the skinhead about who he is or what he does; the skinhead is the rebel in society, the island, the underground cult hero synonymous with left wing politics and 80's anarchy, something the modern man has little resemblance too.

However, thirty years later and with closer inspection, while the skinhead and their quintessential look may no longer be as prevalent in modern society, their look, in various guises is on every high street the length and breath of the UK.

Don't believe us? Well here's five prominent items of current clothing that were all an essential element of skinhead culture...

Bomber Jackets

From street style gurus to skater kids, hipsters to trendsetters, the bomber jacket has become a mainstay in recent years. So on trend it almost hurts, this classic piece of military clothing was adopted by skinheads the world over and has now become as much a part of the mans wardrobe as it was in the 80's. Be it with chinos and white trainers or jeans and a pair of hi-tops, the bomber jacket in all its guises is very much a staple of fashion today.

Check Shirts

Take a look around you and the likelihood is at least one man in your line of vision is wearing a check shirt. This classic number was essential to the skinhead look - you'll be hard pushed to find an image where a skinhead is not wearing a check shirt - and has become a staple of every man we know. Ok, so you may not be wearing it with braces but we at MFM would bet our last penny you own one.

Black Boots

The Dr. Marten boot was ever present in the skinhead look and while you may not have ventured for a classic pair of D.M's we suspect there are a good pair of boots serving you well this winter. Perfect for those long winter walks or great with a suit if you want to go for the brogue boot variety, it may not have rebel written all over it but it still harks back to those defiant days.

High-Cropped Jeans

If there is one trend which has appeared anew in the last couple of years, it has to be the high-rolled or cropped trousers / jeans. Every man and his dog are showing off their ankles or at least the top part of their boot. Now Google the word'skinhead' and you will see you were far from the first fashion brigade to alter the hemline of their jeans. Nowadays a pair of running trainers are more likely to finish off the look but remember, the skins were doing it first.

Accessories

From the little red beanie atop your head, to the braces you may wear in the office, these are all elements adopted, and adapted, by skinhead culture. And it doesn't stop there either; shoulder bags, badges and key chains are very much part of the modern day 'it' crowd and while they may not be an accessory per se, theonce rebellious tattoo has now become such a part of the man on the street they are worn with pride by men from every walk of life.

Channel Your Inner Skinhead

So you see, our views and stance in life may have changed and the ways in which we shop may have altered beyond all recognition but whether you like it or not, the skinhead culture has somehow managed to worm it's way into our wardrobe.

Fashion is and always will be an endless cycle and while times change and the ways in which we wear our clothes alter, the same key items will always find a way to be worn.

With the arrival of more money in people's pockets to spend on both essentials and luxuries (first in the United States from the late 40s and then in other industrialised countries from the mid-50s) shops and shopping were transformed.

In the 1960s, an increasing choice of branded products filled supermarket shelves, amongst them frozen and chilled items such as ready-made meals, yoghurt and desserts (for most homes now had a refrigerator).

Brands were often aimed at children and promoted on TV by popular cartoon characters. Breakfast cereals provided an instant meal for hungry kids and busy mums.

New products for the 1960s included Fairy Liquid (1960), J Cloths, Pledge aerosol (for 'real wax beauty instantly as you dust'), Blue Band margarine (which could be spread straight from the fridge), Colgate Fluoride toothpaste (1964) and Smash instant mashed potato (1968 - although the Martians in the TV commercials didn't land until the early 70s).

With employment high and most enjoying a reasonable income, the early 1960s saw a growth in consumerism, and as Britons began to travel to the Continent on package holidays, many brought back a taste for Continental cuisine and wanted to experiment with ingredients like pasta, aubergines, green peppers, herbs and garlic.

Gradually a few shops began to respond to this demand, and in 1964 the first of Terence Conran's Habitat shops opened to provide the correct utensils.

It was during the 1960s that the shopping mall took off as a retailing phenomenon, particularly in the United States.

In 1960 there were 4,500 malls in the US, and they accounted for approximately 14% of the country's retail sales; 15 years later the relevant figures had leapt up to 16,400 malls and 33%.

In the US, the first shopping mall (the Northland Center) had appeared in 1954 in Detroit and this new type of shopping centre had proven extremely popular.

Not only did the United States have the space to build such vast complexes but also people had the cars to get to them. Following in the tradition of the general trading store, the mainstay of the mall was the general food store, of both chain and individual units: by 1966, 95% of food was sold through such stores.

In the US and other countries, self-service became an increasingly popular and cost-effective means of retailing, helped not only by improved refrigeration and dehydration, but also by improved packaging materials, such as cheap polythene.

Self-service supermarkets meant that packs had to appeal to the shopper rather than to the grocer, and packaging began to feature attention-grabbing design.

In Europe, the possibility of building vast shopping malls was a less serious proposition in the 1960s, some countries, especially France, preferring hypermarkets instead. These were self-service supermarkets which, like the malls, were usually positioned on the outskirts of town.

Small-scale versions of the US mall did materialise (especially in Britain) in the form of shopping precincts, particularly in the new towns which were springing up around the major cities, but these were designed for the pedestrian rather than the motorist.

New American style supermarkets opened up all over the UK, and for many people, shopping was becoming a weekly instead of a daily excursion.

In Britain, Tesco, Safeway, Fine Fare and many other stores became household names. Most notable of these was Sainsbury's who ensured quality throughout the selling process.

Many of these supermarkets offered shopping 'stamps' as an incentive to buy more goods. Stamps were given to the customer according to how much was spent in the shop, and when you had collected enough stamps, you could exchange them for gifts chosen from a catalogue.

Many British homes in the 60s and 70s had several items around the house which were bought with Green Shield or S&H Pink Stamps - Chinaware, ironing boards, kitchen appliances . . . Lots of people collected the stamps because it felt as though you were getting something for nothing. The stamps were so popular that shops had to try to out-do each other by offering double or triple stamps.

Old-fashioned 'corner shops' found it difficult to compete with the new supermarkets. As a result, some corner stores began to stock different types of food which couldn't be bought in the supermarkets.

By the 1970s, many shops also had mail-order catalogues. For example, in Britain, Habitat and Mothercare. Housewives could also buy products in the comfort of their own homes at shopping 'parties', such as Tupperware.

overall, I've enjoyed most aspects of Project 3. One being given the chance to research further into our current trend and to develop it into a range plan because its one the aspects i like most of buying. However I didn't like using the remote software to access Photoshop because it was very slow, I wasnt able to save my work onto my own laptop and the controls were different to the Photoshop I have to personal use. I had to reactivate my own Photoshop to manage to get my garments completed which was very close to deadline. Therefore I completed the rest of the deliverables and left the hardest part to the end. But I did enjoy playing around with it and creating things I havent done before. I also didn't mind completing the sourcing strategy part of this assignment. It took the quickest of the assignment deliverables and it expanded my understanding of sourcing within the retail industry and my knowledge about Morocco. As Morocco was new to me as I know about India, Turkey and Bangledesh etc.
The Comp Shop was interesting as it was the first thing we completed meaning it wasn't left last minute as I felt the other assignments were. The work was decided equally amongst the group and I felt the presentation went well.
I had a lot of technical issues overall with everything from Microsoft Teams, Creative Cloud, Photoshop, PowerPoint , Excel and generally the internet connection to my laptop which I still don't know whats the issue. However after speaking to IT, they managed to fix PowerPoint and Excel. Also since my safari wasn't working I changed to Google Chrome which was a lot better and faster for all my work.
For next time, I will make sure everything on my laptop is up to date and perfectly accessible which is a personal issue to which to avoid continuous interruptions with my work. I will also continue to asking for one to one help and making sure I'm not missing any work because I didn't ask.
