No CC Decades Outfits 2.0

1960s Men's Fashion

The sixties was a decade where several styles coexisted simultaneously. Conservative three piece suits in grays and browns co-existed with colorful mods-fashion or black and white beatnik-fashion and by the end of the decade the early hippie fashion. Colors were generally bolder, silhouette slimmer, and pants shorter (who said we'd never get any use of all those ankle-short pants in game?)

Everyday fashion

For everyday fashion a lot of what goes for the fifties still work in the sixties. Any kind of suit with or without a fedora hat will work well, and I've settled for a single suit to represent that below (otherwise just keep using the fifties-looks). The trend to remove the suit after work continued leading to more cardigans, sweater vests and shirts without a suit jacket - with or without a tie. But I also wanted to give some examples of some new fashion, in the beatnik and mod-culture the turtleneck was a staple, in black or color, with slim-fit trousers. Colorful socks that matched the shirt was common. Plaid, striped and patterned fabrics were also popular, as well as the colors green, brown, orange, yellow and red. Shoes were often loafers, and there are perfect ones Lovestruck or modern menswear but as I have neither pack I will go with the closest I have. From previews it does look like Lovestruck in general have a few items that would be good for the decade, but I can't be sure without seeing them in context.

Winter's outfits

A part from coats that we don't have I've tried to put together some jacket-options that felt right for the decade:

Summer's outfits

For summer t-shirts, short-sleeve shirts and polo shirts were all common as were shorts of different lengths, often with patterns and bold colors. While shoes were more casual, socks with shorts were still the norm.

Swimming

In many ways swimwear in the 60s followed the trends of the fifties. A new trend were the surfer culture with slightly longer shorts, often matched with shirts of the same pattern or similar.

Sportwear

Just as with swimwear not that much happened with sportswear during this decade, other than making it more accessible for everyday wear. Shorts were short with elastic stripes, and sweatsuits were in material such as fleece and other warm material. I even found adds for sweatsuits in vinyl! No vinyl-wear in game, however.

Formal wear

Anyone who has ever seen an old Bond-movie knows that evening wear meant tuxedos, at least for formal events. Suits could do for less formal occasions.

Party wear

For less formal events, such as Christmas Eve with the family or a night out on the dancefloor, clothes were much less formal. A lot of these looks works for everyday as well.

Sleepwear

When the party was over and it was time to go to bed, outfits from both the 40s and 50s work well still as underwear had not changed much. I added a few looks, but I remove nothing of the old.
