These behind-the-scenes photos prove cardigans were the epitome of cool in the Sixties
Who needs a leather jacket? These stars looked stylish in button-down sweaters.

The cardigan may be seen as more comfortable than cool, but we beg to differ. While it’s certainly a cozy piece of clothing, it can also be as cool as any leather jacket, wide Seventies collar or blue suede shoe.
Don’t believe us? We’ve got the pictures to prove it! In the 1960s, cardigans were all the rage. They were worn by tots, teens, twenty-somethings, moms, dads and grandparents alike.
Take a look at these Sixties stars sporting nifty knitwear and suave sweaters. Did you ever have a cool and comfortable cardigan? All images courtesy of the Everett Collection.

Love cardigans. Cardigans are still in style.
Just one thing. Is that Karen Steele? It looks like someone else to me but their name eludes me.
I remember when I was a child people dressed up to fly. It was strictly suit and tie for men and tasteful dresses for women. Nowadays I consider myself lucky if my fellow passengers just... dress.
Personally, I always wanted to pull off a "Cary Grant" sense of style. But I got stuck with Lou Costello's body and Freddie The Freeloader's budget. [le sigh]
The Fly (1958) 1 hr 33 min-Drama--Horror--Sci-Fi
Neat, if hokey, "The Fly" does teach us an important lesson about being careful when performing experiments. The plot of course has Montreal scientist Andre Delambre (Al/David Hedison) discovering how to transport matter at light speed, and then transporting himself with a fly, thereby getting its head and claw---Yuck!

Director
Kurt Neumann
Stars
David Hedison--Patricia Owens--Vincent Price

And what tribute would be complete without the donning of the sweater and iconic shoe toss.
LOL!
