Hippie FashionEveryone who experienced the 60's, will be familiar with the term, hippie fashion. And young people today, who were never exposed to the original hippie days, might very well be familiar with hippie fashion. This is true because some of the items that were part of hippie fashion are either still alive and going strong or have been revived and are popular once again. Some articles of clothing that were mainstay in terms of hippie fashion were anything tie-dyed, cotton shirts, bags, skirts, etc. Also items that were macro-made like bags, scarves, belts and caps were a big part of hippie fashion. Worn out jeans became very popular hippie fashion garments and still enjoy wide popularity with young people and old hippies today. Another big hit in terms of hippie fashion was the introduction of Indian imported clothing. This hippie fashion was extremely popular with teens and women. Long, Indian printed dresses, skirts and baggy pants were seen anywhere hippies were. And when you see an older woman wearing this type of clothing now, you might assume she is a hippie from way back and still enjoying her hippie fashion style. Something else that was a widely worn part of hippie fashion were hippie beads. Males and females alike wore hippie beads. Hippie fashion was not limited to hippies alone, but hippie beads, both the strings of tiny seed, colored glass beads and then larger ethnic beads were both typical of hippie fashion back then and have once again surfaced as a very popular fashion element today, although they are not necessarily called hippie beads anymore. And hair...hippie fashion was all about hair too. Young men started wearing their hair really long as part of hippie fashion and young women tended to grow their hair long too and wore it in casual, messy kinds of tangles, sometimes tied back with a babushka, which of course, was tie-dyed. Hippie fashion also included a special way of being and speaking and most importantly, possessing some very strong opinions and ideas about politics, the war in Vietnam and Peace. Because fashion is not just about how you look, it is also about how you act and how you speak, hippie fashion is no different. And hippie fashion definitely was about ending the war and regaining peace. And hippie fashion was also about free love and casual drug use. Hippie fashion was unique in many ways. If was a fashion that was not superficial, but had an authentic, deeper inspiration and that is why, in my opinion, hippie fashion will never go out of style.
