Five Picks, One Look - British Heritage

The British are no strangers to dressing well. England is, after all, the country that invented the dandy and London in the 1960's was a Fashion mecca rivaling New York, Paris and Milan. The Mod movement was at it's height; embraced by fashion and music savvy youths from predominantly middle and lower classes appropriating the styles and brands of the upper crust for themselves. Shaggy headed youths in Fred Perry Polo's riding around on Vespa's during the day and hitting Northern Soul hot spots like the Twisted Wheel in finely tailored suits at night. The Mod movement is today considered a milestone in British fashion and continues to permeate style in the UK and around the world, and just as American heritage style is getting its second wind, so to is British heritage. Below are a few, time-tested essentials.
