Sixties fashion was all about mini skirts and flat boots that reached up to the knee. Dresses were tent shaped and had cut away places at the shoulder, showing off the arm and shoulder blade.  Women were thin like “Twiggy”, and very young women were the trend setters instead of the 20-something models of the fifties. Color was bright in the 60’s and black and white combinations of color were very popular too. Geometric prints hung in every closet.  Skinny pants and boat neck tee shirts were popular too.  Big sun glasses, preferably white, were on every face, and the little black dress for evening was something you just had to have.  Makeup included very soft blush colors and pale lipsticks, along with large false eyelashes and black mascara.  In the mid-60’s the in colors were lime green, electric blue, bright orange and yellow, and they called this style trend MOD.  Vidal Sassoon gave  people short blunt cut hair styles..  Women wore headbands and little bows. Bikini bathing suits were becoming popular for the first time. Then the country went to war in Viet Nam and the “Hippie” look took over for women and men.  Frayed jeans and peace sign tee shirts were everywhere. Tie-dyed shirts and granny glasses and wearing army fatigue clothes was the new “in” for teens.  These were turbulent times and fashion was a mirror of the “make love not war” generation.
