Mizo Men’s Fashion Through The Ages

- William Lalrindika & Lalkrosmawia
This collection is from personal archives. This aims to put a spotlight on Mizo Men’s Fashion of different eras.


                                                       
1940s-1960s:
The "gangsta era" of Mizo men (sizzling men rocking the widened pant- checked tie- loose fit blazer combo with the infamous signature hat, casual collared shirts)


                                    

1970s:
The "Disco era" of Mizo men (the combination of "ready to flip" hairstyle trend matched with high waisted pants and long sleeved, multi printed shirts). Trouser legs were wide around the ankle which are the opposite of today's "skinny" suits.



                       

1980s - 1990s:
The 80s & 90s men fashion trends reflected what was won on TV shows by stars, men were often seen wearing suit jackets with casual T-shirts and blue jeans.
