 * Skirts in the 60's were 6 to 7 inches above the knee. Dresses came to about your knee. The dresses in the first half of the 1960's were like dresses in the late 50's. At first they weren't very short they were proper and ladylike. In the later 60's colors became very vibrant and dresses became shorter. **

__//** 1960's Shoes **//__ **There are many different kinds of shoes that were in the 1960's. Chunky High Heels were a popular shoe in the sixties. Another type of shoe that was popular is the square toe shoe. In the the sixties your shoes and purse were expected to match your outfit you had on. The same if your outfit was bright then your shoes were bright too.**

Some of the pants and capris could be worn today. Pants in the sixties were only worn for casual activities and never worn to school. **

**//__1960's Hairstyles__//** __// How to Dress Like a Hippie //__ 1. Do have a flower. I know the song says "in your hair" but the truth is that it's hard to get the things to stay put.
 * Young girls usually wore long straight hairstyles. Popular hairstyles consisted of big hair. Most girls used hair rollers the size of soda cans to make their hair big. Teens wore their hair to the side tied up in a ribbon or bow.

2. No flower? Go for the Pocahontas headband.

3. Hair is long and "unkempt looking." (My mother's words) But it is clean. Yes, we washed our hair. Hey, deep down we were Baby Boomers from suburbia.

4. Women could wear a mini or even micro skirt provided she had decent legs. A chain belt was groovy. Boots or go-go boots were okay too.

5. Men - Jeans, the grungier the better. Leather vests were big too.

6. Fringe - for all. Vest, jackets, pants, shirts. Anything could be fringed.

7. Peace symbol. Every last one of us had at least one peace symbol. **
