Dick Hebdige claimed that he thought mods "appear to have been a group of working class dandies, possibly descended from the devotees of the Italianite [fashion] style". Hebdige is a theorist who focuses upon the modern approach to identity.
The original style for Mods was a slim-fitting dark suit, combined with a lighter coloured shirt, a plain simple dark tie, and to match dark shoes. As the popularity of this subculture grew, their fashion style developed into a more casual approach. In the 60's it was known to wear levi jeans (turned up at the bottom), a fred perry top (commonly known to make an appearence in This Is England) and desert boots.
The Who was the prime example of a mod group, their music mostly listened to by this subculture.
