Mod fashion originated on the streets of London in the 1960s and was inspired by the Italian look of the time, and the Lambretta and Vespa scooters favoured by young Italians.

Key elements of the Mod look include Oxford & Gingham Shirts, Two-Tone Tonic Trousers, Harrington and Monkey Jackets, Sta-Press Trousers, narrow Braces, Paisley Scarves, Desert & Monkey Boots.

Many celebrities adopted the Mod look and helped it become very popular. The Harrington Jacket gained huge popularity after figures like Elvis Presley and Steve McQueen wore it in public.

The Monkey Jacket also became a must-have after Pete Townshend of The Who was publicly seen wearing one.

Another staple piece of Mod fashion is Monkey Boots, which were worn by celebrities like Paul Weller of The Jam and Pete Townsend of The Who. And let's not forget Desert Boots - comfortable, stylish, and versatile footwear that complements any Mod outfit. Icons like Liam Gallagher and The Beatles have been spotted rocking these timeless classics.

For trousers, Two-Tone Tonic Trousers, with their slim-fit design and eye-catching fabric, quickly became centre piece. The likes of Steve Marriott of the Small Faces embraced the style, propelling it into the Mod fashion limelight.

Countless public figures have been spotted wearing paisley scarves, cementing their status. Steve Marriott of The Small Faces, as well as The Who's frontman, Roger Daltrey, have been seen donning paisley scarves.
