A veritable smorgasbord of UK youth subcultures - including punks, skinheads, new romantics, rockabillys, mod revivalists, rockers, goths and almost everything in between - discuss their clothes and how the wider society reacts to them. Why do they dress the way they do? Should they have to dress differently to get a job? Is there pressure to conform to the norms of their tribe? How do these disparate groups view each other? Clip taken from 16 Up: How Do I Look?, originally broadcast on BBC Two, 27 October, 1982.
