阿飞（常穿紧身裤、长上衣、尖皮鞋，并热衷于摇滚乐的青年男子） CultureTeddy boys wore long, loose jackets, called drape coats, very narrow trousers, called drainpipes, and leather shoes with narrow points at the end, called winkle-pickers, or soft shoes with thick rubber soles, called brothel creepers. They put special oil on their hair and arranged it so that it stood up at the front. Teddy boys were seen as being rebellious and were sometimes involved in violence. Their style of clothing was intended to be similar to that of certain fashionable young men in Britain during the Edwardian period in the early 20th century.Word Originfrom Teddy, pet form of the given name Edward (with reference to Edward VII's reign).
