Are you Mod?!

Taking original style into the 21st century

The Paris Match

Following the theme of reflective, wistful tunes about romance comes this ab classic from the Style Council. This is the Weller version obviously, which is for some reason not find-able on Spotify. Turns out technology can't solve everything.

So get your headphones, don your Mac and head out for a walk along the river...

This is a new thing I’m going to be posting - favourite videos from the classic bands where they look the absolute best (although not necessarily the best songs admittedly).

Then I’ve got  a few pointers as to where you can get a look like the vid.

This one is one of my all-time video favourites, with the lads repping a classic mod look, suits, ties, the works. With the striped tie, it's a bit more college / Ivy League than usual.
Picture
Electric blue suit - Adaptor
Price: £220
I suspect the video is more of a navy suit vibe, but Adaptor do some very good and inexpensive off-the-peg whistles. This electric blue suit is a blue they’ve still got in stock, but they've got a few others, mostly patterned fabrics.



Picture
White button-down - Adam Of London
Price: £55
Pretty straightforward, so might as well go with somewhere reliable. Adam’s is a great little shop and they can be relied upon to get the look right when it comes to collar rolls, etc.


Picture
Red / blue striped tie - Ties Planet
Price: £7.99
Ties planet are good for cheap, skinny ties. They’re not silk, but the quality is decent. I actually think this might be a bit bright for the original video, but it’ll go with the electric blue suit.


Other Top Tips
Couldn’t get a decent look at the shoes in this vid, so can’t make any recommendations, but it’ll probably push the price up if you’re looking to complete the look. Other than that, this one is a pretty strong, smart mod outfit for less than £300.

I bet they'd be well pissed off if someone shoved them in the drink.

If you're looking for the top tips on how to look Mod, you could do a lot worse than this video.

I was never a big fan of this song, but as it's coming up to the season, I had a review. This album sleeve is great in a kind of classic, zany Style Council-type way. The white trousers, red socks and white shoes especially are a look that could only ever be pulled off in Paris in the 1980s...

This is a grossly underrated song, so listen, learn and love.

The Moddest Vids 2 - The Style Council

Part of the best-looking video series - a few of the Moddest videos I think are out there.

This is an absolute favourite - both guys' styles (appropriately) are on point.

Apparently that's what we should be doing, but Paul has a take.

A solid classic

One of my faves from the Style Council.

Great tune, epitomising Weller's new direction at the time (The Jam's demo just doesn't sound like it would have been as good).

Plus he and Talbot look exceptionally Mod in this. In fact, looking at it again, I may have subconsciously been thinking of this when I bought my blue suit recently...

​
But then, there are much worse inspirations!
