The Best of 1960 Clothing and Fashion!There are many items of 1960 clothing that have transcended the barriers of time and became very fashionable today. If you are interested in 1960 clothing, here you will find a detailed description of the most outstanding fashion inventions of the time, from the Swinging and the hippie era. The Swinging Era Mini-Skirts Mini-skirts are the most revolutionary items of the 1960 clothing. They changed the world of fashion completely. Although hemlines had risen with the course of time, up to the 60's, skirts were often just above the knee. This new fashion, which was introduced by fashion designer Mary Quant —although there is a disagreement as to who really created it— appeared in London for the first time. Since its invention, fashion began to concentrate on the highlighting of women’s legs and not so much on curves as in the 50’s. It is a symbol of the Swinging London and, its appearance, the beginning of a new era for fashion. Before the 60’s, 1960 clothing had followed the same trends, but with the introduction of the mini-skirt, new fashion design creations appeared, such as boots and the pantyhose. Although boots already existed, they were not considered to be a fashionable item of 1960 clothing, but a tool for working or bad weather. The go-go boots were highly representative of the time, and they were always worn with mini-skirts. Go-go Boots Go-go boots changed the history of shoes fashion. Until the 60’s, boots were not usual in women as they were considered to be masculine. You could only see a woman wearing boots when they were horse riding and on the street when it was very rainy. After the introduction of the skirt, go-go boots became an icon of 1960 clothing, which was also intended to accentuate women’s legs. These boots were generally knee-high and had flat or low heels. Today, this kind of boots is a hit, and a very sexy item that goes with everything. Bikini The bikini is probably the most important invention of the 60’s. It is the sexiest item of clothing that has been created in history. Although it has existed for years, it was in the 60’s that the bikini came into fashion. This item of 1960 clothing has changed the world in many aspects of life and fashion. Since its inception, the way we see the world is different: people have opened up and started to feel free to wear comfortable clothing without being judged. In earlier times, a bikini would have been a symbol of obscenity, but it becoming fashionable brought about a change in fashion standards and daring clothes were no more considered to be obscene. In fact, 1960 clothing is characterized by its daring look. The Hippie Era Bell-bottom Pants Bell-bottom pants got groovy during the 60’s. They were worn by both men and women and were a symbol of the hippie movement. This piece of 1960 clothing has remained popular in time and is still in vogue today. At present, however, they have undergone some modifications: for example, the width of the hem has been reduced. Peasant Blouses Peasant blouses came into fashion with the hippie movement. They are a piece of 1960 clothing very characteristic of the era that is still used today, especially in warm weather. At present, they are associated with summer and beach, and with a peaceful character. Tie-Dyed Clothing Tie-dyed clothing is a symbol of the hippie era. Today, this style is still in vogue and it's not necessarily connected with hippie ideas. There are many more pieces of clothing that are characteristic of the 60’s. Although today we consider these designs very usual, they were all highly revolutionary at that time. They have changed the course of fashion and are today an influence in our modern styles. |
