In the 60s pants became an accepted fashion
garment for women. The different styles were
hipsters, bell bottoms and sailor trousers. Pants
for women were part of the new unisex fashion
style that was becoming popular and the
distinction between men and womens clothing
became less and less.

Chelsea boots
Men

• For men there was refinement rather than any real
  innovation. Suits became more tightly fitting,
  and Chelsea Boots became fashionable. For
  generations of men the office shirt had always
  been white. Suddenly the trendy young man could
  cut a dash with waist-hugging shirts in a wide
  range of pastel shades.
• In Britain, the Mods began as a minority group
  deeply concerned with their immaculate
  appearance, but from 1963 onwards they received
  national coverage and showed that men could care
  about the clothes they wore, an attitude that was
  to allow real changes as the decade progressed.

• The Hippie movement, which first began in
  California from around 1967 onwards spread to the
  rest of America and to other countries as well,
  nurtured a form of anti-fashion in which
  virtually all types of clothing were permissible,
  whether long or short, new or second-hand,
  patterned or plain, as long as the materials were
  natural.

Perky Girls

• In the mid-60's perky girls wore, A-line dresses
  and polka-dot, stretch, knit panty hose. With the
  help of cosmetics, they were able to fake the
  natural look. They used
• heavy false eyelashes
• translucent face powder applied a thick coating
• sheer lip-gloss in nude shades
• The common hairstyles were the Bubble cut or the
  Flip-hair-do

"Thin is in"

• The 'thin is in' slogan was born. This look was
  rebellion against the older generation but was
  also a result of war-time rationing. The effects
  of which were still being felt in Great Britain.
  Women everywhere began to believe the saying 'you
  can never be too rich or too thin.' Twiggy had
  the ideal figure and modelled perfectly in tight
  mini-dresses. Model Jean Shrimpton also had the
  perfect look. like Actresses Mia Farrow and
  Audrey Hepburn became very popular due to their
  toothpick look.
