I went into the military in 1961 and missed those years of fashion. Best I can recall were peter pan collars. If that was even a thing.

Peter Pan collars ( and yes, there was such a thing! ) were mid ‘50s through the first 1/2 of the ‘60s. It was an era when everyone dressed nicely ( except for the “hoody”/”greaser” kids...the BLACKBOARD JUNGLE wear ), no matter income level/social strata. Men still wore suits and hats ( though JFK killed the men’s hat business ) to baseball games, everyone dressed up for church, to go on a plane, and very, VERY different/better than today.
