^ I think the 'freshman queen candidates' would be better company than these blokes.
The freshman queen candidates are women by the way - not part of the Wittenburg University Gay Society (which did not exist -officially - in 1958)

The shoulders in both these ads are superb. Ivy at the end of it's time in the spotlight.

Re: The Ivy League Style: The Boom Years.
And I'm sure the female equivalent was considerably more flattering to women than the earlier styles, which tended towards the sexless.
Even when I see really attractive women in photos or films from the 50s and 60s, the styles don't seem to do them many favours.
some sort of banal legitimacy

Re: The Ivy League Style: The Boom Years.
You mentioned before that you quite like 70s style Yuca. I like some stuff from the decade, but a hell of a lot was over the top and the above picture falls into that category for me. Now daisy dukes look I can dig 
.
That Edwardian look stuff does nothing for me bop, I do like the American continental look though, a bit of Italian style mixed with ivy works well.

Re: The Ivy League Style: The Boom Years.
I think ott was the norm in the ghetto in that era, at least amongst the fashion conscious. As a style to draw from nowadays, I can see it has little or nothing, but I still think it looks great. I used to buy a lot of 70s music (funk, jazz, soul etc) and watch blaxploitation films avidly, and I even attempted to recreate some of the styles, however I now know they're best left in the past, to be admired for what they were but never aspired to or repeated.
