So much colour! It’s especially nice to see the men wearing such great clothes, I think the 60s were a decade where it was more socially acceptable for guys to get creative and have fun with their style.

Anywhere from the 1900s to 1980s men were fashionable. In the 1990s the style is the same as today with bum t-shirts and same color jeans.

Sorry , honey. I am only interested in drugs and boutiques.
I lived just off the Kings Rd 69 to 71. This scene would have been filmed on a saturday. It was not as crowded as this on weekdays. Fashion was cheap and widely available. My favourite affordable shop in Kings Rd was "Take 6" followed by "John Michael" . Boots from "The Chelsea Cobbler". Anyone remember "Stop the Shop? You went in and stepped onto a continuously moving carousel. It was really a womens shop but men often shopped there for scarves or slimline crepe shirts.

My parents would have visited these places. Actually, my fathers business partner, moved out of london in the 60's. He bought a place called Halstead Hall in Kent. turned out, one of the Krays, was his new neighbor. He received an invitation to a dinner dance held by the Krays, but refused to go. He told my father, I am not getting all dressed up for a bunch of criminals 😂
Omg the style of the 60s was just something else!

Material. much of it was Polyester which was thick and didn't breath.. you can do the same cut and design using the cotton or thinner synthetic blends but they wont have that thick full look. this is why it's difficult to make films authentic. clothing doesn't survive decades usually. it breaks down.

+LillyRocks desde el planeta Tierra. - In fairness to Brand, the vast majority of people in this video will be dead or in their 70's and 80's. This video was filmed exactly 50 years ago so it's a simple and correct observation. Even the slim, attractive blonde in the light pink top and black mini skirt at 46 seconds is probably in her early to mid 70's if still alive today. The guy behind her in a suit with a camera (standing next to the woman in the black and white dress) looks like he's in early to mid 40's so the likelihood is that he'd be in his mid 90's if still alive today and this seems pretty unlikely.

Life has probably appeared and disappeared out of existence an endless series of times just depends on the interaction of the correct elements on the next planet conducive for it.

Everyone's slim in this video from the 60's because a) the majority of people in this footage are 25 and under and b) it was a time when coffee's didn't have 20 sugars in them like they do in Starbucks. A sandwich, a frappuccino and a cookie at Starbucks is well over 1,000 calories. More calories than a large Full English breakfast and yet it's nowhere near as filling. People are much more obese now than back in the late 90's when I was a teen. It's just hard to avoid sugar in food. It's everywhere.

And football in those days! No capitalist sponsors plastered all over their jerseys, and most teams still had a majority of local, home-grown talent. And the players didn't all look the same -- so much individuality back then: Alan Gilzean, Martin Peters, Brian Kidd with his Afro (looking very much Eric Clapton from back then), Derek Posse for Millwall doing cartwheels, somersaults, hand-springs all round the field after every goal he scored! Short fat Frannie Lee carving up the defence, Clive Woods for Ipswich looking like Robert Plant, and Wee Georgie Best carving up every defence in the land. EVERYTHING was better then -- women were more loving, comedy was better, even sport was better. COMMERCIALISM and POLITICAL CORRECTNESS ruined it all.

The world cup is a total farce. Many national teams are made up of stars from essentially the premier league not representative of their 'countries' soccer skill at all. Is not MAN UTD owned by an American? All BS through and through.
When clothes were affordable & made good quality. Over the years things have gotten expensive & cheap. In my opinion. Is one of the main reasons what made people stop dressing formal for good. Even in the workplace. I know if I was born in the 1940s. And I was a teen or young adult in the 1960s. With $100 I could afford at least 5 dresses. Compared to now of course. Can only buy one item sadly. Depending on brand. Anyways I love this video. The 1960s was full of color & alive literally. 😊 Due to that change from 20 years earlier recovering from WW2.
