60's Fashion

So Many Influences on 1960's Styles

Many things influenced fashion in the 1960s. Social mobility, daring fashion photography, easier travel abroad, the Vietnam war, new music of the Beatles and their much copied hairstyles, retro military and ethnic clothes, musicals, pop art and film all played a part.

GIRLS
In the early 60's, girls were still wearing very long skirts and dresses. Later, gogo boots and mini skirts were the ultimate fashion for girls. It was a big deal to decide whether or not a girl's skirt was too short. Certainly, pants were not allowed. It was a big deal in the 70's girls were allowed to wear pants suits. Peace Signs, Flowerpower, and Happy faces were all the rage in the 1960's and early 70's.
