In search of their own individuality, young rebels mix clothes of different styles, times and peoples. They celebrate the value of old clothes from second-hand shops. The effect of worn-out clothes is often especially imitated with patches and abrasions. Homemade clothes with hand embroidery or applications, hand knitting, homemade jewelry are very valuable.
The hippie movement culminated in 1967. In "alternative" shops there are clothes from natural fabrics, ethnic clothes and even things with effects of wear. In 1967, the first hippie fashion show took place in London. Official fashion owes to the "children of flowers" the appearance of many styles - ethnic, folk, retro, unisex, diffuse style and, of course, jeans, which became one of the most popular in the 1970s.
Men's fashion is more conservative than women's, but it is also subject to change. Traditional men's fashion of the 60s is characterized by narrow trousers at the beginning of the decade and the appearance of claw trousers at the end. The influence of the sports style was felt, the jackets became longer and already, the patterns and ornaments disappeared from the knitwear, they were replaced by striped or rhombus sweaters and more strict monochrome or geometric cardigans. At the end of the 60s, many people began to wear turtlenecks and sweaters tied with rubber bands, which are known in our country as "noodles". Closer to the 1970s, the men's fashion was color, brightness, and a variety of shirt designs. Men's youth fashion of this period was greatly influenced by numerous subcultures and musical directions.
The cosmetic palette of this time, as diverse and free as all fashion trends. In the early '60s, the fashion for bright lips is still held, but since the middle of the decade, this trend has passed, giving way to light lipstick.
In the 60's the main accent in make-up is focused on the eyes, false eyelashes are popular, supermodern are colorful shades and arrows. Complementing the image, you can choose between hairstyles, geometric haircuts, elf haircuts, or loose hair in the hippie style.
The fashion of the 60s is multi-faceted, a decade later a large number of different styles have passed, fashion designers have brought to life a lot of innovative ideas, which are still the starting point for modern designers, but the dominant feature of this period can rightly be called a bright color palette and geometric silhouette in clothing.
Expansion of fashionable range, variety of shapes, brightness, fantasy, youth - all this brought fashion to the 60s. The decade has given the fashionistas a number of memorable details and accessories - diverse jewelry, from imitations of jewelry to plastic, beads and chain belts worn on a dress or blouse, sunglasses in incredible frames, bows and hair ribbons, colored tights, pantyhose with patterns, etc.
Trousers, trouser skirts, claw jeans and narrow jeans called drainpipes, colored jeans, paisley ornaments, psychedelic colors, fluorescent colors in youth fashion and pastel colors in ladies' clothes, Trapezoid coats (swingers), shiny fabrics, turtlenecks, bikini suits, high women's boots and much more appeared in the fashion world at this time.
In 1967-1969, for the first time in fashion, there were three lengths simultaneously - mini, maxi and midi. For example, long coats were worn with miniskirts. Before that, length was always the main feature of seasonal fashion. Especially relevant in women's fashion are pants. In 1969, Europe experiences a real boom in pantsuits.
The end of the sixties is characterized by diversity and eclecticism. For the first time in fashion, there are many different styles and trends - geometric silhouettes, diffuse style, unisex, bohemian chic, elements of ethnic and historical costume.
Fashion becomes more democratic, it no longer imposes rigid rules, allowing everyone to show their individuality.
We are all different, but all individuals, but all beautiful and interesting. Your taste is wonderful and the most important thing is that you try and experiment.
