Their Style

Both men and women, maintained long hair, wore jeans and sandals and sometimes they went barefoot! Some men wore beards and girls didn't wear make-up, or sometimes they just put on a little bit. Also many girls went braless.

Their clothes were very colorful and uniques because they searched for a psychedelic style, for other people the clothing was very unusual ( why it isn't now?), they bought their clothes in second-hand shops or in flea markets, but many of their clothes were also self-made, can you believe it?. They liked to wear a lot of accesories, such as belts, bracelets, headbands, necklaces, scarfs, sunglasses, etc. Many of their necklaces had a symbol, such as the well-known peace sign.

Their pants were usually bell-bottom and girls used to wear peasant blouses, skirts (longs and shorts) and dresses.

They also had flower prints in their shirts or they just dyed them, and used clothes and accesories from other cultures, such as India, Africa and Latin America.

That's all for today, I hope you like it :)

The Hippie Movement

It developed in the 60's in United States, but it influenced the whole world in many aspects, such as music, clothes, ideology, manners,etc.

It all was headed by a group of teens that felt opressed by the system of that time. This is why they were more espiritual and had different way of appreciating life. They also consumed drugs, especially marijuana and LSD, but they were very peaceful.
