Beatniks: The Original






The Beatnik look was based on the idea of anti-materialism and improving the inner self rather than focusing on one's appearance.  However, the Beatniks still had a certain look. They dressed often in dark colors, wearing skinny ties and appropriating vintage items such as captains hats or railroad hats representing the working man.  Many Beatniks travelled across the country hopping trains or hitchiking.
