From winged eyeliner to waist clenching shirt and dresses, the style of the 1960’s is definitely evident in today's fashion. The 1960s were a time of the free spirit but also femininity and maturity, much like what 2015-2016 is showing to be. In today's society, we are looking for something to grab onto, something to hold, when it comes to normality. The 1960s definitely emulates that.
With shows like "Mad Men" and other 1960s-inspired TV and movies coming out recently, the 1960s definitely has to have an effect on today's fashion. Just look at flower prints — they’ve started reappearing for the past two seasons! Things like boxy small purses and brighter bigger patterns are also popping up again, and as for the beautiful looking shoes — oh, thank gosh they’re coming back.
The 1960s really took 2015 by the high waist. And trust me, we're looking fabulous! Remember when Target had their insane Lilly Pulitzer sale? I remember my mom and I tried going to Target extra early and everything was gone! The bright patterns and A-line dresses took the streets by storm, and its probably not stopping there. With iconic characters like Don Draper in the media, even the men’s clothing from the 1960s is reappearing, such as the long thin tie and very sophisticated two-button suit. There's also the preppy-ness of the era: cardigans, Sperrys, colored jeans, and of course, the good old Vineyard vines. There is no way you cannot tell this fashion is making a comeback, in a very good way, I might add.The natural or semi natural hair also is back — thank gosh, as I was getting a little worried there. The updo is also becoming a very good trend along with the wonderful beehive, which in my opinion is the cutest thing. Also, here it is, the bob cut is back. Yes, I told you: it is back. Let's just see how long it's going to stay. Oh, and let's talk about the ‘man bun.’ Now that’s definitely going back to the late 60s and 70s!
You can definitely tell that these styles are coming back: just look around. Little hints are not only found in catalogues and on the runway but in little things like tall boots and colored pants. This era was a time for change and independence, which we are facing now. Maybe this 1960s fashion will bring this change and of course the classiness of the era.
