The Skinhead
The Skinheads originated in the 1960s in the working-class neighbourhoods of London, England. The youth subculture was characterised by aggressively masculine hair and dress styles, including shaved heads and heavy boots. Skinheads were commonly viewed as extreme right-wing nationalists who espoused racist views. They adopted a uniform of work boots, short jeans or pants, simple shirts, suspenders and close-cropped hair.
Below, I have put together my interpretation of a Skinhead's style.
