Ready for wardrobe inspiration from days gone by? The fabulous sweaters you see here came from the pages of the September 1964 edition of McCalls magazine. Included is information provided in the article such as price, brand, and fiber. I find it interesting to compare these looks with what we have today. I hope you do too.
First up is my favorite. The two-tone bulky turtleneck you see above was made by Kingstone and sold for $33.
The model below is wearing a cashmere cardigan and cowled sleeveless pullover with her tweed skirt. All were made by Dalton. The 3 piece outfit cost about $85 in 1964. This is the most expensive look in the collection.
