Tops:

In the 1960s, men's shirt collars got longer and wider and men started wearing high-collared jackets. Coats, jackets and long-sleeved shirts were nylon or polyester. The shirts worn were usually printed with paisley or bold prints like optic art and psychedelic prints. It was common for men to wear mismatched patterns. Pique polo shirts were worn as casual sportswear. Later in the decade tie-dyed shirts became fashionable.

Bottoms:

Men in the '60s often wore velvet trousers and black slacks. Sometimes men wore trousers with multicoloured stripes or plaid prints. Trousers with flared legs were also popular. When the mod look came into fashion in the early '60s in England, men started wearing single-breasted collarless jackets and slim, tapered trousers. Frayed jeans that were fitted through the leg and flared at the bottom (known as bell-bottoms) came into fashion in the late '60s.

Shoes:
Shoes that came into fashion for men were footwear made of polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, a shiny plastic. Ankle boots with a side zipper closure and one-inch heels were often worn, especially with trousers that featured tapered legs. Sometimes the shape of the shoes was pointed, but loafers with a square toe were also fashionable. In the late '60s, during the hippie era, it was common for men to wear sandals or sneakers.

Accessories:

Just like women accessorise, it was common for men in the 1960s to accessorise as well. It was fashionable to wear wide neckties printed with patterns such as paisley or stripes, with combinations like sky blue, brown and orange. Other ties were in bright solid colours such as orange and red. In the late '60s, some men wore bandannas around their foreheads, love beads, medallion necklaces and leather belts with large buckles.
