	Teddy Boy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Teddy boy youth culture first emerged in Britain (starting in London, and rapidly spreading across the country) during the early 1950s, and soon after became strongly associated with American rock and roll music of the period.
		'Teddy girls' adopted a style similar to the lads', with drapes complete with pencil skirts, they added their own touches, such as straw boaters, cameo brooches, espadrilles and coolie hats, but later adopted the American fashions of toreador pants and voluminous circle skirts, wearing their hair in ponytails.
		The most notable was the infamous Notting Hill riot of 1958, in which Teddy Boys were conspicuous within the racist white mobs who roamed the area attacking fl people and their property.
