Teddy Boys

Teddy Boys were born in the 1950s when rock 'n' roll was first introduced. 
This picture was taken in 1962, a group of teds. Teddy boys trend was inspired by the Edwardian style. Men wore dark shades tailored jackets with velvet trim collars, high-waisted trousers and slicked back hair style.
Givenchy by Alexander McQueen for spring 2001; this teddy girl look is similar to teddy boy style. The drape jacket and high-waisted drainpipe trousers are common outfits for this street trend.
Jens Laugesen fall 2008; this is a good example of the teddy boys trend that reemerged last year. The tailored jacket with velvet trim collars and trousers that show colorful socks are the main item for teddy boys style.
