MODS


The most representatives topics of mods were music, fashion and scooters.
Mod boys wore clothes that seemed geometric, with rectiliniar lines, and the
track-suits were tidy. They liked Levi's 501 jeans, and their tipical shoes were
clarks, desert boots, beat boots, bowling shoes and loafers.
Mod girls wore short coats, and skirt track-suits. The colour of the clothes was
grey and black. They wore shoes like ‘’granny shoes’’ or label shoes like ‘’Fred
Peny’’ or similars.
Ties were the complements for boys, while foulards were the ones for girls.
The hairdresses of boys looked like the 1950's men, with lots of grease, and
girls wore smooth hair with fringe, like Liz Taylor in the film Marco Polo.
Mod people also adored motorbikes and clothes. They didn't like violence, and
loved to drink expensive beers in trendy bars.
They liked English groups like the Beatles, the Doors, etc, and melodic soul like
Marvin Gaye.

  2. I agree with Sandra G.
    I didn't know nothing about this tribe.
    I think that writing is very interesting and entertaining to know mods.
    Good job Alba!
