Want to have some fun going back in time with period clothes? The 60s outfits were mod and very colorful and the youthful hippy phenomenon became a part of the lifestyle in the U.S. one way or another, raising eyebrows throughout the country.

Although the 1950s spawned poodle skirts and haircuts and hourglass silhouettes, the poodle skirts and haircuts didn’t carry over into the 60’s. The younger generation wanted to find its own way and meaning in life and considered it quite cool to become a hippy or at least dress like one. Their clothing reflected a sense of freedom and design. If you need outfits to wear from the sixties, look no further. Check out our suggestions below. Both adults and kids will enjoy wearing these costumes for parties and dances.

Although being “in the groove” started in the 1930’s, the word “groovy” meaning cool, pleasing, wonderful, marvelous and sensational became the buzzword of the times. Interspersed with neat, swell and nifty from the older generation, everyone knew what they meant.

The outfits from the 1960s for both men and women are easy to distinguish. They always included brightly colored fabrics with unusual styles and patterns. Long flared skirts, peasant tops, hip-hugging bell bottom pants and long Indian dresses can still be found at flea markets and thrift shops across the country. The men wore leather vests and sported long hair and lots of beards, unkempt, of course. Any kind of tie dye garments were “in” as well as colorful headbands and tees.

The sixties gave us a lot of things that have stayed with us. For example, the fusion of folk music with the blues, folk and psychedelic rock. Accessories like Native American jewelry and lots of beads, colorful head bands and scarves were popular. And “Feeling Groovy” was the ultimate ambition as well as a hit song title. Enjoy reminiscing.

As you can see, 1960s costume outfits are were all about hippies, flower children, lovechildren or love children, psychedelic music and lighting, tie dye clothing, patchwork fabric clothes, go-go dancing, bell bottom pants, British Explosion, Woodstock mania and Elvis Presley — the king of pop.

Just in case you don’t know about Woodstock, let me be the one to inform you about this incredible music festival that was officially called Woodstock Music and Art Fair. Being held at the Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in Bethel, NY (a hamlet of White Lake); this festival lasted for three entire days and was dobbed as the Aquarian Exposition.

Woodstock was attended by 500,000 who were entertained by 32 different rock bands or artists such as Joni Mitchell; the Rolling Stones and Cosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Yes, those were the good old day!
