I prefer 1960's
I prefer 1970's
Combination 1960's & 1970's
You can't talk about Elvis without the conversation of clothing coming up, to that end I would like to start a topic about Elvis' clothes, it can be any era from the 50's right to the flamboyant 70's.............
Include photo's as well
As my log-in name suggests I am a big fan of the 70's style especially the Jumpsuits, I also like the streetware which is very similar in design e.g. the collars and the flares.
I'll comment some more once the topic gets going.........................

Life is beautiful, enjoy every second of it!! And don't forget to love!!
I think he looked great on his white and black two pieces suits from 69. They were simpl and elegant. But most of all I always have liked his boots

I liked Elvis' wardrobes from the late 50s , late 60s and 70-72. The Jumpuits from 69- 72 are my faves
Elvis looked good in anything.The pictures bellow are a few of my favorite.He looked fantastic in yellow,red and white.The concha suit was also very beautiful.The one I disliked was the sundial suit.

Elvis in his Doctors Tunic pushes all the right buttons for me and so does his Army Uniform, oh and his black 1969 Jumpsuit!!

Sorry Matt I have no idea of how to scan a photo over to this site but I would like to say that the outfit he wore to see President Nixon is one of my favorites but the one in my avatar and the brown suit similar to it top them all for me.
Love this topic
I think Elvis had to be one of the best-dressed men ever... his style was just so unique and ELVIS... I love his look in the 50s, very daring, and especially around 68-72, particuarly 1969-70.
Well I love LOADS of the clothes Elvis wore, so I'm going to embarrass myself and show that I have no restraint cos I love so many that I feel bad about leaving some out!
My absolute favourite has to be...
Other favourites I have attached... and in addition to those, I have to say I also love the stripy t-shirt he wore with Priscilla on that holiday in 68, loads of the shirts he wore (especially black ones, and I love the yellow one Jumpsuit Junkie attached), every other version of the 69 press conference 2-piece suit and so many more! Movie-wise... ummmm his red uniform in Frankie and Johnny

69 is a great year, Elvis could have worn a bin bag and looked cool.
1970 with President Nixon, the top under the jacket is from vegas in 1969 and a picture is attached.
Matt
he looked cool in every thing he wore
he had such great style, like myself .
I never realized that the top he wore to see Nixon is the one from '69. Thanks for telling us Matt.
WE WOULD LOOK LIKE CLOWNS THE WAY HE DRESSED, HE LOOKED COOL.

He looked best in the '68 Comeback clad completely in leather.
That said, I voted for the combination of '60s and '70s cuz I see alot of great '70s styles pictured here, and I also like the jumpsuits. He was dressed great in alot of his movies too.
I also like the pink & black of the '50s.
YOU LOOKIN' FOR TROUBLE? YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.
There are some rellly great pic's of Elvis on this thread... thanks so
much for posting them.... I love em all!!! Dovey
Thanks for the pics and info Matt. I never knew that underneath that jacket, was the top from 69 live appearances. Just to add a bit here, the jacket that he wore to visit Nixon, he wore during the 68 comeback special, during the nightclub scene.Originally Posted by Jumpsuit Junkie
I tell you what, he was the sharpest dresser in his most unique way. There's one pic that I love from the fifties, he's in Memphis, 1956, he's wearing a pink shirt, black pants, pink socks and black shoes, and is standing behind a policeman, picking his pocket, also, another shot of him by himself, incredible. These two pics were shot in color which makes them stunning. Since I don't know how to post pics, can somebody else post them if possible? Only EP could have worn that outfit, and still look cool fifty years later.
Sorry Leroy, I do visit your "stuff" at EPPG but haven't been there lately. I promise to do that again soon and read it carefully.
Leroy, I go into four different EP forums everyday, therefore I might miss info or forget that you or somebody else has graciously posted this info already, or in a different thread, if so, I apologize. Leroy as far as your contributions go, they speak for themselves. Everybody is fully aware that "you know your stuff" and don't mind sharing your knowledge with us.
