Delicately carved doors were boarded up and painted; Fireplaces were boxed in and new, lightweight furniture replaced the usual, dull colours with dazzlingly bright ones.

20. M ds The British Mod style emerged from a desire among British youth to break away from the stiffness of the 50’s and uncouth look of the teddy- boys, and to emulate the more stylish Italian, French and, latterly, American fashions. The original and enduring mod style is a slim-fitting dark coloured suit, worn with a lighter coloured shirt and thin, dark tie, along with a pair of dark shoes. Mods usually prefer a two-tonic coloured suit, made of a light material and fronted by three buttons (with the bottom button being left undone). Vibrantly expressed by The Who with their symbolic use of arrows, Union Jack jackets and RAF target emblems.
