Title
Beatle Boots Ad
Description
The Beatles often wore these boots with the Chelsea boot, then became known as the Beatle boot. The Beatles took caught the eye of the world, and in turn, everything they wore was closely monitored.
The Beatle's influence on fashion carried further than only the collarless suit and the Beatle boots. If you at the progression of the Beatles in the 1960's you can see it begin as "something somewhat normative becoming transgressive, becoming psychedelically lite from the drugs, becoming spiritual and withdrawn. That's the story of the '60s as it heads into the 70's".
