The Teddy Boy Subculture appeared in the 50's, they were unified by look , the first subculture to appear (scaring adults) and the media misrepresenting them. Their fashion was styled on the old Edwardian Suits from the early 1900's, a smart look that this youth subculture took on the separate themselves from everyone else and then American Rock and Roll hit England in 1955 and the music and the teddy boys became inseparable.

For women skirts became shorter and more colourful; more revealing compared to war standards.
