Come to think of it, 60s Hippy Girls in Levis with tight Tee Shirts, Looked the most sexiest of all.


I've never heard that about there being a girls fit of Levis, I presumed they wore the same ones as the boys. You live and learn!

This would have been about `68.Greens had come in and you could get Baggy Cotton Trousers,in various Colours-from a shop in Walthamstow,another way to wear with Boots or Monkey Boots.It was not as regimented then as later(t-shirts worn under slipovers,white shirts with plain collars etc.).

Cant beat a Girl in a nice tight pair of Levis, Cant remember girls wearing Sta-Prest though, In fact girls wearing any trousers looks awful, seen woman wearing trouser suits at present day skinhead doos, Looks awful.

Sorry, computer crashed again! I know of girls up here wearing Sta-Prest, if they fit well they can look smart, but I agree not suits with trousers like a lad.

I would say that pic was taken at the tail end of the skinhead period, the above kids look 14 year olds,
quite a lot of this age group was still wearing skinhead kit in 70.

Yes I agree. If memory serves me it was taken in Chelsea in 1970. They look young!

Yes they do look young and are young, its funny we had moved on somewhat by 70, but you would see these little 13/14 year old skinheads running around causing mayem Lol.
When one is so young even 6 months between ages is a lot, A 15 year old would not hang around with a 14 year old.
