Ever since they took the music world by storm back in 1960, The Beatles have been known worldwide for their cutting-edge rock music and the cultural phenomenon they created in the UK and US. The “Fab Four,” comprised of Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, and George Harrison created music that was so universal and timeless that it continues to be popular today. In honor of Ringo Starr’s 70th birthday this week (July 7th), I chose The Beatles’ mod style as an outlet for fashion inspiration.

Outfit 1: “Twist and Shout”

When the Beatles arrived in the United States in February 1964, they were mobbed by fans. The fab four looked dapper in black suits and ties. You can achieve the Beatles’ clean-cut look by pairing black skinny pants and a button-down shirt with an of-the-moment white blazer. Complete your outfit with menswear accessories like oxfords, a chunky watch, and a bow-tie necklace.

Outfit 2: “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”

The Beatles went for a completely different look when they released their album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band a few years later. Wearing bold and bright military jackets and sporting longer hair and mustaches, they completely reinvented their image and created trends all over the place.

Take a cue from the Beatles’ over-the-top colorful style by pairing a military jacket with colored denim and a rainbow printed tank. Add some hippie-inspired accessories for a bohemian edge.
