Information about 1960s In Fashion
The 1960s featured a number of diverse trends. It was a decade that broke with many fashion traditions that mirrored social movements during the period. Early in the decade, culottes were in style and the bikini finally came into fashion in 1963 after being featured in the movie Beach Party. Mary Quant invented the mini-skirt, which became very popular in the late 1960s. The hippie movement late in the decade also exerted a strong influence on clothing styles, including bell-bottom jeans, tie-dye and batik fabrics, as well as paisley prints. The Beatles and Timothy Leary popularized the Nehru jacket, which had a short-lived popularity in 1967.
Head coverings changed dramatically towards the end of the decade as men's hats went out of style, replaced by the bandanna if anything at all, and as men let their hair grow long and the Afro became the hairstyle of choice for African Americans, while mop-top hairstyles were most popular for white and Hispanic men, beginning as a short version around 1963 through 1964, deveolping into a longer style worn during 1965-66, eventually evolving into a unkempt hippie version worn during the 1967-69 period, which gradually faded in popularity as the 1960s became the 1970s and much longer hair was worn. Women's hair styles ranged from beehive hairdos in the early part of the decade to very short styles popularized by Twiggy just five years later. Between these extremes, the chin-length contour cut was also popular. The pillbox hat was fashionable due almost entirely to the influence of Jacqueline Kennedy who was a style-setter throughout the decade.
The late '60s women's liberation movement also led some women to eschew the bra in an act of defiance against patriarchy.
New materials other than cloth (such as polyester and PVC) started to become more popular as well.
