Here’s how to harness the ’60s glamour, from Betty and Joan to Twiggy and Jean, for the modern day. You can easily achieve this by ordering a shorter inseam or through hemming services. Ideally, the hem should either hit at the ankle or fall 1-2” above the foot. Black shoes, particularly shiny black shoes, were seen as “cop shoes” by most hippie men. Choose shoes with roughout leather or a weathered patina such as suede moccasins, loafers, and boots. While men’s hair was kept short and neat in the early years of the hippie movement, men’s hair and beards grew long and unmaintained towards the end of the 1960s.

By the early ’70s, clothing designers had established fringe jackets, coveralls, and embroidered denim as women’s styles. To make things even easier for you and in celebration of summer, I decided to write an article with 10 unique hippie outfit ideas. Almost every single product in the images was pulled directly from our 1960s and 1970s shopping pages, so no need to hunt it down. Ladies love our '60s and '70s Women's costumes and all of the flower tunic shirts, bell bottoms, sequin jumpsuits and fringe vests that can be found in the category.

Perfect for '60s or '70s-themed events as well as Halloween parties, the most important part of putting together a male hippie costume is being sure to have fun with it. Flowers were used in early student protests, but the 1967 Summer of Love marked a huge breakthrough in flower power. Preceding the popularity of tie dye and fringe jackets, the flower child style is likely the earliest hippie style that is recognizably “hippie” today. Even now, many people use flower child motifs, clothing silhouettes, and peace symbols for political protests. Here is another set of ’60s party dresses from the later part of the swinging sixties. Dresses were short with a boxy tunic shape, high neckline, and long sleeves that were often sheer.

You can add texture to an untextured shirt, dress, or pair of pants by crumpling it up, lightly misting it with water, and letting it dry before wearing it. Sometimes, this is all it takes to add a more bohemian look to a piece. Going into the 1970s, hippie anti-fashion became the primary contributor to mainstream fashion. The hippie chic look serves as a casual and more office-friendly nod to the Haight-Ashbury district of old. Oversize sunglasses, a daisy-adorned headband, and a choker necklace are all you need to take a white top and jeans from everyday wear to a hippie Halloween costume. Motorcycles have been an item of counterculture since the 1950s, and the 1960s-1970s marked the golden age of motorcycle technology advancements.

Uneven sleeves and odd shapes, such as the frock with bell sleeves, became iconic within hippie women’s fashion. Many clothes went through a “rite of passage” where they were, in some way, customized and given character before they saw regular use. Shoes were optional, but when worn, basic styles dominated – boots and sandals were most common, with brown being the preferred color. Simple lace-up canvas shoes did well enough for most seeking comfortable and cheap footwear.

Just slip these fringed leg warmers on over a pair of bell bottoms to create a one of a kind retro look. You can even add these leg warmers to a hippie dress as a way to add some flair to an already totally groovy costume. We can just see your littlest one in a toddler hippie costume dancing to Grandma and Grandpa's old records in the living room.

Another popular look that represents the 60s is what we’ve named the “preppy trophy wife” look. The outfit screams rich, white picket fence family of the golden times. Picture a monochrome vintage dress, or a matching skirt-and-blouse set in pastel shades of pink, mint green, or baby blue. White heels and sparkling jewelry are an ideal way to accessorize this look. For a few added points, top the whole outfit off with a vintage Chanel tweed jacket to lock in the sophisticated, expensive, feminine, and 60s aura of your look.

For those who didn’t want to wear ethnic prints, clothing was just as commonly bleached or dyed into either a solid color, a textured solid, or tie-dye. Warmer colors such as pink, violet, mustard, and orange, and brown were favored within hippie women’s clothing. Acid-washed solids, stripes, tie-dye, and assorted ethnic/Americana prints were the primary patterns. At the height of the hippie organics craze, synthetic fabrics were rarely found on a 1960s hippie woman unless she was more fashion forward. This did change in the 1970s, however, as hippie fashion hit stores full-force. From this, too, came the act of “upcycling” old cloth into new outfits.

Hippie Western pays homage to the Californian roots of the movement. You can't go wrong dressing as a flower child to represent the 1960s. Mini skirts were all the rage in the 1960s and this Bohemian-style fabric was also a popular style that girls would go for. Use this skirt as a base to complete a fun look that is memorable for the decade. With the Flintstones and Sesame Street making their debut in the '60s, there are plenty of fun character costumes. Rock and Roll was going strong with Beatlemania ever-present.
