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.

U.S. Modifies Continental Look, 1960

Subdued olive green jacket of a fine wool basket weave has Ivy League
look. Eagle Brand jacket is trimmed with gray pearl buttons.

"Several seasons ago, the Italian look in men's fashions swept the country, threatening to replace the Ivy League styles. But the Italian and Ivy came together in the Continental look and now this year more home influence has made the newest look the American Continental."
