60s Outfits: 3 Top Ways to Dress for a 60s Party

In the 1960s, a lot of fashions came and phased out. But, one fashion trend of the 60s has stayed glued to the mind and had always blended well for 60s themed events. It is no other but the natural and hippie look of the late 60s. This look makes a great idea for 60s outfits when attending 60s themed party.

So, it’s quite easy and simple to find 60s dresses for a sixties themed party or just to achieve a 60s look. It doesn’t matter your gender, you can go for a tye-dyed shirt matched with bell-bottom jeans or pants. You can also draw inspiration from the variations of fashions in this era. 

#1: Go for Loose and Comfy Outfits

The buzzword in the 60s when it comes to outfits was loose and comfy, especially in the late 60s. Popular staples included long skirts in natural colors and featuring patterns like paisley and flowers, matched with peasant-type blouses. This is a great combo for women seeking to get attention in a 60s themed party.

You can also opt or something short by wearing miniskirt. For the guys, great options include jeans and T-shirts or vests, particularly in darker colors. Bell-bottomed jeans were suitable for both males and females. You can stay warm at an outdoor sixties themed party by going for a poncho, which is also suitable for men and women. 

#2: Wear the Right Kind of Sandals and Shoes

In the sixties, just like clothing items, the buzzword for shoes was also comfy. Both men and women wore sandals, particularly if you’re putting on jeans. Boots such as the tall lace-up boots were also quite appropriate and are suitable for today’s 60s themed events.

The ladies will look more stunning when they match the high lace up boots with skirts. For men’s 60soutfits, the right kind of shoes will include zip-up boots (Chelsea-style). Other shoes to complement a man’s 60s outfit include moccasins, to achieve a more natural look or complement a hippie look. 

#3: The Right Accessories and Hairstyles

An acceptable hairdo for women to mimic the sixties will include the very short pixie cut – this will provide a neater mid-sixities Mod look. If your hair is long, you don’t have to cut it, simply let it fall down your shoulders or fix it into a braid.

And, if your hair is short but you need a long hair to complement your look, a wig will do the job perfectly for a long-haired hippie look of the sixties. Men’s staple in this era (that will also work well presently) when it comes to hairdo is floppy, long hair to achieve a better hippie look.
