There is or was a theory that skinheads wore different coloured laces in their Dr Martens depending upon which "tribe" they belonged to. Never went along with the violence but enjoyed the style/fashion, which descended from the mods originally and the graduated to the smoothie or smooth heads: Levi Jeans (cut high); Harrington Jackets; 3/4 lengths Sheepskin Coats ; Gingham Checked Ben Sherman Button Downs; 1/2" braces; Leather Soled Brogues (Squires and Royals), Ashtrays, Box Weave Ashtrays; obviously, Dr Martens or Corsicans; Sta Press Trousers; Crombies; white or red socks; Pocket Handkerchief Squares; the occasional Short Brim Trilby Hat; Fred Perry s/s Polo Shirts (with the two black line collar tips/edgings); and then later, the Two Tone Mohair Suits; all in all, a very practical style.
