The teddy boys are the fashion that is been re-introduced by Savile Row after WWII in London and rapidly spread out over United Kingdom. This particular fashion is highly influenced by the wave of rock and roll music that arose in London. The earlier youth that had their own dress code or they share the same style of clothing in 19th century which called “Scuttlers”, the teddy boys is not much different than these guys just they are the first in England and they made youth as a recognition between child and adult stage and even creates a market for their age. Fashion by that time is a serious matter to be think of by the youths whether they wanted to go to occasions, work, school clothes, as well as their weekend clothing. There are no more shabby clothes, big outfits, or just something they could grab and wear. The fashion plays a big role in determining someone’s character and it should be up-to-date and at its best.
The boys will usually wear a drape (long) jacket
usually in dark shades, sometimes with velvet trim collar and pocket flaps, high-waist "drainpipe" trousers, often showing brightly coloured socks. Favoured footwear was chunky brogues, large crepe-soled shoes, often suede, or pointed boots known as winklepickers. The costume also included a high-necked loose collar on a white shirt (known as a Mr B. collar because it was often worn by jazz musician Billy Eckstine) William Clarence “Billy” Eckstine was an American singer of ballads and bandleader of the swing era. They also wears a narrow "Slim Jim" tie, and a brocade waistcoat. there are also a new technique to create something out of normal thoughts just to make it matched with the jacket or the trousers which is dye or coloring the garments so that they could buy them separately and wear them with astonishing color match.

Preppie qualities were neatness, tidiness and grooming. Teen girls wore full dirndl or circular skirts with large appliqués on their clothing. Neat pleated skirts were also popular. The pleated skirts were made from a then new fabric called polyester which helped maintain razor sharp sunray pleating. The skirts were supported by bouffant paper nylon or net petticoats. On top, teens wore scoop neck blouses, back to front cardigans, tight polo necks or three quarter sleeve white fitting shirts often with a scarf knotted cowboy fashion at the side neck. These teen clothing fashions that originated in America, filtered to Britain in watered down fashion. The style was tied to rock and roll in the 1950s, then showed up again in the 1970s (glam rock) and once more in the 1990s. In the 1950s, the Teddy Boy look spread around the world, identified as a "teenage" style, something that had never really existed before.
