1960`S STYLE
Let`s step into one of the most colourful and fun times in fashion history — the 1960s!
This decade was full of change, creativity, and confidence. The 1960s were a time of big change. The world was moving fast — new music, new ideas, and a whole new attitude. People, especially the younger generation, wanted to break free from old rules. Fashion became a way to express freedom and individuality.
It was no longer just about looking proper — it was about having fun and showing personality. The 50s were neat and elegant, but the 60s said, “Let’s experiment!”
Colors got brighter, shapes got bolder, and everyone wanted to stand out.
Let’s start with the ladies — because 1960s women’s fashion was a total revolution!
In the early 60s, the look was still a bit classic — like Jackie Kennedy’s style. Think simple, elegant dresses, pearls, and cute pillbox hats.
But as the decade went on, things got way more youthful and playful. Then came the mod look — short hemlines, bold patterns, and geometric designs.
And yes, this is when the miniskirt was born! Fashion designer Mary Quant made it famous, and girls everywhere started rocking shorter skirts and dresses with high boots or flats. Colours were bright — orange, pink, yellow, and even neon shades.
Patterns were wild — stripes, checks, and funky prints.The overall vibe was cool, confident, and full of energy.
And let’s not forget shift dresses — those simple, straight-cut dresses that were super comfy but still looked chic.
They were perfect for dancing and moving around, which was exactly what 60s girls loved to do!
Accessories in the 60s were everything. Girls wore big, bold earrings, plastic bangles, and oversized sunglasses.
It was all about making a statement. Shoes were fun too — go-go boots became a fashion icon.
They were usually white, shiny, and knee-high — and they looked amazing with miniskirts.
Flats and chunky heels were also super popular, perfect for all that 60s dancing!
Now, let’s talk about the guys. Men’s fashion in the 60s went through its own cool transformation.
Early in the decade, men wore suits that looked pretty traditional — slim-fit jackets, skinny ties, and clean haircuts. But later on, things got a lot more colorful and creative. Thanks to the rise of rock bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, men started wearing brighter clothes, patterned shirts, and even turtlenecks.
They ditched the boring gray suits and started showing more personality. The mod style for men included tailored suits, Chelsea boots, and fun prints — all very sleek and stylish.
Then came the hippie style, with long hair, denim, tie-dye shirts, and peace signs. So yeah, the 60s gave men a lot of new ways to express themselves too.
By the late 60s, the hippie movement had taken over.
This style was all about love, peace, and freedom — and that showed up in the clothes.
Think flowy dresses, fringed vests, bell-bottom jeans, and flower prints everywhere.
People loved natural fabrics and handmade details — like crochet tops and embroidered jeans. The phrase “flower power” wasn’t just about flowers — it was about a whole way of thinking.
Everyone was saying no to strict rules and yes to comfort, colour, and creativity. It was a fashion movement with a message.
Hair and makeup in the 60s were super fun and full of variety!
For women, hair ranged from short and sleek pixie cuts to big, fluffy beehive hairstyles. There was no one right look — it was all about expressing yourself.
Makeup was bold and focused on the eyes. Women used thick black eyeliner, mascara, and sometimes even false lashes. Eye shadow came in bright blues, pinks, and greens. Lips were usually pale or nude to keep the focus on the dramatic eyes. Men’s hair got longer as the decade went on — no more strict crew cuts. By the end of the 60s, long, natural hair was totally in for everyone.
So, why does 1960s fashion still inspire us today? Because it was the decade of freedom and fun, it gave us permission to be bold, to mix colours, and to try new things.
