The best known outfits in Rock N Roll.
Let's talk about the outfits that were just as legendary as the people who wore them.

To start off I'll post Pete Townshend's Union Jack jacket.


The Beatles were always a "Uniform" act and they wore matching outfits on stage but none of those is more legendary than their Sgt Pepper uniforms.


Peter Gabriel's crazy outfits made early Genesis shows a real happening. But of those, his Fox outfit must have been the most legendary.


When talking outfits I can't leave out Kiss. They had a whole range of crazy outfits for every tour another set. But I'll go with the ones from the "Destroyer" era. Which was when the band was at it's best.

Ziggy played guitar..........



The Bowie - Ziggy Stardust era costumes were great.




You know, when I went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, they had the gold John Lennon Sgt. Pepper suit, the Gene Simmons winged suit & boots ala Destroyer and they had the Bowie outfit that I just posted.

What a coincidence.

Not the best known but I just like to look at it and wonder how comfortable a sequin jumpsuit really is ???




on serious note ( I think) anything from the 60's / hippie genre

Great photo! I've not seen that shot, obviously I know the photo session. That was going to be my contribution to this thread too.

I've no photo handy, but how about Jimmy Page's dragon suit?


And then there's David Byrne's 'big' suit from 'Stop Making Sense'.
