Re: France in the '60s.

Nice post---I notice that all of the shirts are solid white.  I wonder if that is a reflection of their jobs or if it was the style of the time, or both.

Re: France in the '60s.

Beautiful!  I like how there are multiple elements at work here all at once.  it's not quite Ivy (much fewer stripes, much less color), not quite mod (not as much sheen, the suits arent as tight, lapels arent as narrow), but yet you can see both in the look.  The two button jacket in the 2nd photo has a great lapel roll, and i think higher waisted trousers are cool.  Thom Browne does a good job reproducing the "uniformity" of this look, regardless of the usual debates about proportion.  The palette is there.  Some people might think style like this to be the opposite of "sartorial expression"--there is very little play with color or pattern, which places much more emphasis on fit.  I know "effortless" is a throwaround word but it's much easier to achieve when everything in your wardrobe matches ( i picture Thom Browne having one of those obsessive compulsive closets with 25 immaculate white shirts in immaculate rows, 15 grey suits on identical hangers etc......i wonder if Browne goes on secret retreats to deserted places where he wears nothing but Hanes white T-shirts and levis 501s....).  This is how to do effortless when your breakfast consists of gauloises and you need to dress without waking up the beautiful girl you met in the jazz club the night before.

Great clothes, great movie.

I have a Japanese edition of the poster up in my living room.

Plain de Soleil (sp?) also has Delon in some fantastic wardrobe.

Re: France in the '60s.

your links are all X'd out

Bando, you might be interested in the movie "Stay".  It's recent, starring Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts, but Ewan's wardrobe is all Thom Browne and he wears it very well, with some interesting outfits (in a good way).  The movie itself is really good, one of those trippy Sixth Sense/Twilight Zone type stories.

Re: France in the '60s.

speaking of Delon's style, I always thought agnes b and APC do this minimalist French style very consistently season after season, without changing their basic aesthetic for the sake of fashion trends
