Great stuff. I particularly enjoyed the paragraph which counsels against wearing a hat at a 'jaunty or rakish angle'!

Re: Clothes For Teens
It actually looks like a good, informative book. Wish I'd had it or something like it as a young lad. However, I was past my teen years by 1963.

Re: Clothes For Teens
Indeed. I'm sure it was hard enough to push this on teens in 1963, much less now.

Re: Clothes For Teens
It states in he preface that it is written for high school teenagers. They were the target audience. Repeated reference to "your teacher" in the text. Also, for example, "Exercise: Look around your classroom to see how many of your classmates are in complimentary colors."

Re: Clothes For Teens
And it's not really a textbook either, with an overt curriculum and lesson plan. The authors state it was written for those to use in and out of school to help overcome "clothing problems".

Re: Clothes For Teens
I suppose that Lacoste is now the ultimate brand for teenagers, they more than any other, seem to have targetted this demographic to the extent I wouldn't be seen dead wearing it now. It's embarrassing even going into one of their stores: all those short middle aged shop assistants who look about 14 from behind.

Looks like an amazing book WM, I'd love to sit down and have a good, long read of that with a cup of tea.
