Luigi Tenco: Last Days of Summer

Luigi Tenco wore on the photo below a great option for these last days of Summer, especially for those chilly days or mornings at the beach. Dark pants, a white polo shirt, and a light blue cardigan were selected by the singer of "Ciao Amore Ciao" for one of his record cover photos in the mid 60s.

Miami Vice Summer

Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas influenced menswear in the 80s with the ensembles they wore on the 80s hit TV show, "Miami Vice".

Sonny and Rico gave a lesson of style with these impressive striped and Prince of Wales jackets. The combination of the striped jacket with the striped t-shirt is not only very nautical and classic, it's eye catching. Add the final touch with some Tortoise Wayfarers.

Summer of '63

This photo taken by Chadwick Hall during the Summer of 1963 on an unknown location (by the settings it could be some ruins in Italy or Greece) blends modern fashion with ancient times. The "combination" of a print short sleeve shirt and white pants, with an Arena's ruins and several Vestal Virgin statues in the surroundings is somewhat artistic & original.

Jacques Dutronc & Francoise Hardy: St. Tropez Relax

French singers Jacques Dutronc and Francoise Hardy show on this Jean-Marie Perier photo why it's important to enjoy single moment during a Summer holiday or just life in general. With a relaxed and laid back attitude Hardy & Dutronc played their guitars while gazing onto the horizon of St. Tropez; most likely an unforgettable moment for both of them after more than 40 years.

Bohemian Hippie Summer in Puerto Rico

The late 60s marked a transition in fashion from the classic, perfect tailored, Mod inspired, and probably at times "too formal" clothes to a wide selection of garments that expressed youth, used lots of color, flowy and loose fits, and embraced milennary cultures.

Some of the intricate detailing on clothes included paisley, Hindu and Persian prints, and embroidery. Beads were a popular accessory, as well as the Ankh or Egyptian Cross, medallions, and wood rings just to mention some.

This ethnic/bohemian hippie trend continued onto the early 70s, as shown on this photo from an editorial that featured models Pilar Crespi and Ritchie White posing with several bohemian ensembles in Puerto Rico. It must be mentioned that Pilar Crespi, in my opinion, is not wearing a bohemian inspired dress, but rather a very nautical inspired piece; yet on the other photos she wore a Gypsy inspired look. On the other hand, Ritchie White is the perfect example of the elegant bohemian hippie look.

Like most 60s fashion trends, the ethnic/bohemian hippie trend has made a comeback in recent years, making it possible to pair modern with vintage pieces.
