Welcome to The Ivy League Look

This blog presents a historical view through articles, photographs, reminiscences, and advertisements, of an American style of men's fashion of the mid-20th century known as "The Ivy League Look" or "The Ivy Look."

This blog will not present modern-day iterations of this "look"; it will be shown in its original context as an American style worn during this specific era. Author commentary will be kept to a minimum.

The slim line in slacks takes over, Talon, 1955

The slim line in slacks takes over

Biggest single trend of '55 in men's clothing is the natural slim line from head to heel. This clean, straight cut completely replaces the rippling roominess of yesteryear's sportswear - puts your full-cut slacks among the family antiques. The time is ripe. Put on this lean, attractive look in dress slacks and inexpensive washable pants. You'll find that the good buy in any price bracket is equipped with the equally streamlined Talon trouser zipper.

I've always wondered where Squire got that photo from.
