Fashion of the 60’s
January 23rd, 2009 | by admin |Melanie Click asked:
The sixties was the decade that broke many fashion clothing rules. The late sixties saw the advent of the hippie movement along with its particular clothing fashions of bell-bottom jeans and flowing caftans made in batik prints and tie-dyes.
If you didn’t go for hippie fashion then you could chose the angel dress with its long, wide sleeves and skirt that was short and flared. The more conservative woman wore lounging pajamas with wide, pleated legs instead of frayed jeans. From culottes to the mini-skirt and the bikini, clothing became more daring and determined to bare as much flesh as possible. It wasn’t only skirts that became shorter, but the hemlines of dresses rose, with the whole of the western world’s younger females falling under the power. Even female suits reflected the trend with pastel colours, short skirts, boxy jackets with big buttons, topped off by the pillbox hat made popular by Jackie Kennedy.
Clothing in the mid-sixties went from the ridiculous to the sublime with the space look of PVC and sequins giving place to a new Edwardian look of double-breasted suits in crushed velvet, particularly for the men. They also favoured frilled shirts and brocade waistcoats. Twiggy and others similar saw that skirts were even shorter and tighter than before.
