What to wear in 1967.....


Super-cool wearables from the J.C. Penny Catalog in 1967! Penny's is the store that has you perpetually asking "are they still in business?" (they are) . I'd wear the green Robin boots with the Monkees outfit any day. The Monkees clothes would sure look strange in 1984, but as we are at the E.O.C. (End Of Culture)--everything old is new again. The hole-in-the-theory is that all the out-dated flashy, colorful and stylish MEN's wear from the 60's and 70's--usually is reincarnated into women's clothes (today). In the past few years, however, Ben Sherman, The Gap, Ralph Lauren and others saw the light--and produced a wide variety of bright, mod paisley shirts, fake ruffles, flower pattens and day-glo colours FOR MEN. (I snatch 'em up at Marshalls clearence rack too!)
