What were the fashions and clothing fashions in 1965-1969?

Answer 1

Men's ties and lapels were quite narrow, and I think three button jackets were more popular than two button jackets. In the early 1970s ties and lapels became quite wide. Men's hats declined rapidly during the 1960s - in 1969 you would have seen more than you do now, but fewer than ten years earlier. Certainly clothes for young people became more 'far out' during these five years. I have a 1969 clothing catalogue but it's at my parents' house so I can't consult it.

Answer 2

Anything went those days, especially the mod clothing. That was back in the Woodstock days, where everyone wore headbands with Flowers in their hair (usually long) Mini Skirts, halter tops, bell bottom pants with wide leather belts and always some type of peace symbol, Tye-dyed clothing that was done with Rit dyed and just twisting the material. Everyone wore beads and the guys all had mustaches and beards and long hair. Usually looked pretty dirty even though it probally wasn't. It was a time that girl wore no bras. You might even see a few naked people. Like I say, at that time, anything would work

Answer 3

I agree with Dyan about hippies (or wannabes). But there was the other end too - "straights" really conservative, preppy, brush cuts for guys, beehives for girls. Guys wore narrow leg pants, loafers, collered shirts, skinny ties, hornrim glasses. Girls wore twinsets, everything matching, lots of polyester, bullet bras, sensible shoes, big glasses. Today's "geek chic" gives a good idea. I prefered clean hippy, myself.
