Teddy Boy Costume

The Teddy Boy style swept through Britain in the 1950s, bringing back the Edwardian style of men’s clothing but with a definite twist. Pants were tight, jackets were a bit longer and colourful, thin bootlace ties were worn and socks, often white, peeked out under the ankle length trousers. Brightly polished Oxford or suede “Creeper” shoes, named after a popular dance, rounded out the look. He kept a comb on him at all times in case his bouffant slicked hairstyle with sideburns fell out of place.

We stock everything needed to create this iconic look with jackets in a variety of colours, bootlace ties, and creepers and of course the wigs and sideburns.
