It would not be wrong to say that the 60’s era was the era when fashion was at its peak. New trends were emerging and old trends were also being polished and transformed according to the standards of the new time. Some of the fashion styles that were released during the ’60s are still in style today. This article will point out these fashion trends that have endured for 50 years. As we all know, the hippy culture emerged in the 1960s and brought with it many trends such as bandanas and headbands. Head scarves are what we now call bandanas.
Miniskirts were very popular among the young women of this period. These skirts were knee-length or slightly above the knee. New brands and designers were emerging and were constantly trying to bring a change to every little or big fashion trend of the past. Experiments were done on many different fabrics to create miniskirts. Patterns like polka dots and stripes were immensely popular during this time; most of the miniskirts had these patterns and prints. Even today such prints and patterns are in fashion.
Pleated skirts with pleats on both the back and front of the skirts were popular with women and girls of all ages. Today, this trend is resurfacing among young women. As mentioned above, a lot of importance was attached to prints and patterns, so apart from stripes and polka dots, floral prints were also very much in fashion. However, moles were the most famous of all, during the era.
One of the biggest and most popular fashion trends of the 1960s includes bikinis. Some people thought that these bikinis were very daring, but still they became very popular and the favorite among the women of that time. The Polka Dot Bikini trend was so famous during this era that many popular swimwear designers and brands featured them.
