The Beatles style steal from Pretty Green
Hello everyone, welcome back to Until Wednesday. It’s Georgie here writing this weeks blog post and today I am writing a post that I am super excited to share with you. The Beatles are one of my two favorite bands of all time. I have grown up listening to The Beatles and have been studying them as part of one of my university projects.
The Beatles have created some of the most iconic looks in music history from their Teddy boy look in the late 50s, mods in the early 60s to their bright Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club outfits.
Today I want to share with you how you can get their style from Pretty Green. I am aware that Pretty Green is a menswear brand, however, I would personally wear their clothes as I love the style of clothing! So this post is for guys and girls.
If you didn’t know a lot of Pretty Green’s clothes are inspired by The Beatles because of Liam Gallagher’s love for the band who founded the company. So Pretty Green is a great place to look if you want to dress like The Beatles!
LENNON’S BAKER HAT
During the Beatles first tour in 1964, John Lennon wore a black fisherman's cap which quickly became popularly known as the ‘Lennon Hat.’ It is said that Lennon wore this hat as a way to become noticed by the press and to set him apart as the leader of the group.
I love this style as its something I would wear myself and it certainly made his outfit stand out to the other Beatles. This style has recently made a comeback, therefore, it is definitely something to add to your wardrobe.
Pretty Green has a very similar style as shown in the images below in a couple of colours.
GRANDAD COLLAR JACKET
One of the most iconic Beatles looks is the grandad collar jackets. Personally, when I see these jackets I instantly think of them. I love this look and I really want one of these jackets myself. I love how coordinated The Beatles were in the early days because it created an identity for them.
Pretty green have plenty of options for this style of jacket in an array of colors but I have selected a few of my favorites. This is a great way to create a tailored, smart look. I think this would look great with a smart pair of trousers or jeans and a turtleneck as this is how The Beatles styled this jacket themselves.
COLOURFUL JACKETS AND SHIRTS
The Beatles went through a psychedelic phase with their style from 1966-1967. During this period, The Beatles were heavily influenced by a 1966 trip to India, as well as by the experimentation with drugs at this time. Looking Eastward, and inward, provided the catalyst for a dramatic change in their approach to style. They wore a lot of colorful blouses and patterns suits.
I love this shirt as it reminds me of the shirt that Paul McCartney wears in the picture above which can be found at Pretty Green. They also have this striped tailored suit which I think resembles the style of George Harrison very well because in the late 60s George often wore patterned suits
BIKER JACKETS
In the very early days of The Beatles, before Ringo Starr actually joined the band and Pete Best was the drummer, they would often wear leather jackets, as shown in the pictures.
Pretty Green also have a couple of leather jackets which I thought were very Beatle-esque (if that’s a word haha). I think this is a great staple piece that is great to have in your wardrobe anyway.
TEDDY BOYS
Before the creation of The Beatles, when they were just teenagers, the ‘Teddy Boy’ look was very popular among working-class boys in Liverpool in the 50s. John Lennon and Ringo Starr especially had the Teddy Boy look at this time. I love this style!
I found two jackets from Pretty Green that I think would definitely pull off this look. To create the whole look, wear rolled up jeans(loose fitted) with black boots and a t-shirt or a thin knit with a shirt underneath.
POLO NECKS
In my study of The Beatles, I noticed that they always wore polo necks in the early days. They usually wore this underneath a tailored jacket or just on their own. I love the image of Paul McCartney on the left and how he has styled this look (not just because I have a tad crush on him from back in the day).
Pretty Green stocks this turtleneck jumper in three colors however I felt that this navy one was most appropriate for The Beatles style.
I hope you have enjoyed reading this post to learn a bit about The Beatles style and how you can mimic it yourself if it’s by wearing Pretty Green or using what you already have in your wardrobe.
Make sure you come back again next week for another post by Erin and I will be back again the week after. Also, check out our previous posts on our blog.
Thank you so much for reading and see you soon.
Until Wednesday
