The Teddy Boy's were part of a subculture that developed in England in the 1950s. They were the first generation of young people to have a disposable income. They were the exact opposite of the Beats in that they were very concerned with their appearance, using the Edwardian era to draw their main inspiration. The men often wore long jackets with velvet collars and slim-jim ties. They finished off the look with drainpipe pants and pointy shoes.
