The hippie counterculture was a fashion revolution which started in the 1960s. Hippie clothing was very popular during that period. In the late 1960s not every young man was a hippie, but almost everyone under age 25 was.
The symbol of hippies was a flower and it was worn in the hair. The symbol also could be seen embroidered, painted and sewn into buttons, pants and shirts. The combination of unusual colors were exciting and T-shirts were dyed in bright colors– later they were dyed in undulating, psychedelic spirals and circles. Jeans were popular among hippies as they were cheap, required no care and were comfortable.
During the decade a wide variety of jeans styles appeared. They were patched, embroidered, rolled up, cut short, faded and so on. Skirts were dirty, tattered or secondhand.
Sandals were worn both by men and women. But many hippies preferred walking barefoot. Hair was kept long and unkempt.
If you want to dress like a hippie you need jeans. Your jeans should hug your hips and be flared at the bottom. The jeans should have a lot of patches. During summer jeans should be worn with sandals, and during the winter with a pair of boots. Avoid designer jeans or shoes. Jeans shouldn’t be worn with high heels. As an accessory handmade beaded necklaces are perfect.
