How to Dress Like a Hippie
1. Do have a flower. I know the song says “in your hair” but the truth is that it’s hard to get the things to stay put.
2. No flower? Go for the Pocahontas headband.
3. Hair is long and “unkempt looking.” (My mother’s words) But it is clean. Yes, we washed our hair. Hey, deep down we were Baby Boomers from suburbia.
4. Women could wear a mini or even micro skirt provided she had decent legs. A chain belt was groovy. Boots or go-go boots were okay too.
5. Men – Jeans, the grungier the better. Leather vests were big too.
6. Fringe – for all. Vest, jackets, pants, shirts. Anything could be fringed.
7. Peace symbol. Every last one of us had at least one peace symbol.
Hippie clothes include:
1. Hip hugger, bell bottom jeans and wide leather belt.
2. Fringed jean bottoms
3. Halter top
4. Headband with flower. (One way to keep the thing in place.)
5. Bare feet. You’ll notice from the photo below that the practice of going barefoot tends to make your feet dirty. Plus, you can step in some serious er, stuff.
Ankle bells are in.
6. Obligatory peace symbol. If you didn’t want to wear it around your neck you could have a peace symbol belt buckle or pin. In which case you wore beads around your neck.

Hippie clothes include:
1. Afro hair was the syle for blacks. The bigger the better. And the more radical. 2. Combat style vest. Combat jackets and fatiques were big too. 4. Leather sandals were worn for all occasions. And they helped you avoid all the problems associated with going barefoot. 5. Obligatory peace symbol |

Hippie clothes include:
1. Tie dye. We tie dyed everything from clothes to sheets. No, we didn’t go to the mall and buy them. We made them. All over the Internet you can find sites that sell tie-dye packages that allow even a beginner to create a masterpiece. They have all kinds of products to make it perfect. We didn’t have any of that fancy stuff. What we had was Rit dye. We’d twist or gather the fabic, secure it with a rubber band and pitch it in a pot according to the Rit directions. You don’t get great multicolored perfect patterns, but what you do have is authentically handmade. 2. Facial hair – on men only! Beards or moustashes, but never nicely trimmed. 3. Bell bottom, patched jeans 4. Leather sandals 5. Obligatory peace symbol

For women, staying in fashion tends to be a high priority. Each year dozens of new trends come out. The relative speed with which they show up makes them hard to follow, on a regular basis. This past year it was mainly 70’s styled clothing that we saw women wear. Below are some examples of trends that made the “fashionable” list.
High-waisted, wide leg pants and neat, bow blouses were seen a lot on the runway. Roll neck sweaters tucked into pants add to the 70’s look this year. On the other hand, jump suits and hot pants were also seen predominantly and made great alternatives to the re-appearing 70’s styles.
The high slit dress was also in for a whole season and was considered to the best item for evening wear. The skirt and cotton tank top pairing also created yet another trend this year.
The controversial fur trend was also commonly noted, but this time an emphasis was placed on only using faux fur. Fur clothing alone wasn’t as predominant of a trend as it’s been in the past, but it was noticeably apparent in accessories.
Burnt reds and yellows were popular colors this past year. We’ve noticed that dark, sultry colors are making a lasting impression on the fashion world. Just about every label or retailer is offering something that is in a deeper, burnt-looking shade.
In terms of accessories, leather necklaces and cuff bracelets made a statement. This trend continues to make an appearance, and so, by purchasing these pieces, you’ll be sure to get a lot of use from them. Large, stoned rings and chunky heals and bags have also become distinct fashion trends.Overall, women’s fashion has exploded in a cacophony of retro looks, dark colors, and statement jewelry.

The environmental footprint of our clothing is substantial. Americans throw away 68 pounds of clothes on average each year, and we only buy 10 pounds of recycled clothes annually.
The materials used to make our attire are often environmentally toxic and require significant amounts of energy and water during the manufacturing process. If you are going to buy new clothes, why not buy those made out of sustainable materials? There are now companies that sell gear made out of crops that require less pesticides and water, such as:
- Sustainable cotton
- Hemp
- Bamboo
Of course, buying recycled clothes has an even smaller environmental footprint. The 12 to 15 percent of people who shopped at consignment and thrift stores in 2006 saved 2.5 billion pounds of clothes from re-entering the waste stream.

Low rise Jeans & other sexy pant styles
Tight Jeans have been a hot item for many years, especially in combination with the low, or even no-, waistband. This fashion status made this clothing item one of the best selling apparel products, right after the standard 5 pocket jean pant.
Many people still seem to think that tight jeans are some sort of fetish jeans. They need to realize that what is considered to be a sexy jeans in Brazil, could very well be seen as a fetish jean in some rather puritan countries like, for instance, China. Even though a lot of the sexy fashion jeans originate from that same country, a low waist pant with a 2 inch zipper will never be worn by regular chinese people. “Why would anyone want to show so much skin or, even worse: tattoo’s?”, is a sentence we hear a lot in the chinese communities here in Thailand.
On the street we notice a different mentality. Whereas most of the western kids and teenagers now seem to prefer denim pant styles that cover more of their bodies, here we see that some jeans factories are now producing very low waist tight jeans in combination with matching sexy denim tops, bustiers or even denim bras. These denim garments are not unlike what is considered to be club wear at most of the european parties and in the european clubs. However, that type of denim lingerie hasn’t really been accepted in Bangkok’s club scene, but revealing mini-skirts, other tight denim stretch skirts and also tight fitting pants and shorts seem to be making yet another return.

Remember the 1980′s fashions – Retro denim clothing
Fashion in the 1980s was often bright and flashy. Jeans were no exception. A regular pair of straight-leg blue jeans were considered uncool in the 1980s. Jeans were often decorated or altered to create different textures, colors and looks. These jeans were then worn with certain accessories or clothing to complete the look.
-
Colors and Washes
-
One of the most common fashion trends in the 1980s was acid-washed jeans. Acid-washed jeans were intentionally bleached and faded by washing the jeans in chlorine bleach. The bleach would caused white or faded spots on the blue jeans and create an uneven color tone. Jeans were often purchased this way or created at home by bleaching regular blue jeans. Colored jeans were also common in 1980s fashion. Colored jeans were blue jeans that were dyed different colors such as white or black, or sometimes bright colors such as purple, pink or green. Acid washed jeans were also sometimes dyed these colors after bleaching them to incorporate two trends at once.
Cuts and Styles
-
Jeans came in many styles and cuts in the 1980s. One common fashion trend was tapered jeans. After the 1970s, bell-bottom cut jeans went out of style and suddenly jeans with tight tapered legs became fashionable. These jeans often had multiple pleats at the waist, which created more volume at the hips and waist. Jean shorts were another common denim trend in the 1980s, and they were often worn with boots or sneakers. Jeans were considered unacceptable to wear in public during the 1950s and early 1960s. By the late 1960s and 1970s, however, they became trendy, and by the 1980s fashion designers jumped on the trend and started designing expensive, well-made designer jeans.
Decorations
-
Decorating regular blue jeans was also trendy in the 1980s. One of the most common ways to do this was to intentionally rip and tear jeans. Often times, bleaching jeans would damage the fibers badly enough that the fibers tore on their own. Many teenagers and young people also shredded their jeans with razors, scissors or simply by wearing them too much. Another trend in the 1980s was the paint splatter trend. Jeans were often decorated with splashes of fabric paint in various colors. Jeans with paint splashes or fabric paint were available for purchase in a craft store.
Ways to Wear Jeans
-
Other trends in jean fashion involved the way jeans were worn or what they were worn with. Jeans that did not have a tapered leg were often peg rolled, meaning the leg of the jean was tucked and the cuff was rolled to create a tapered leg. Often times thick, brightly colored socks were worn over the tapered legs. Wearing denim-on-denim was also trendy in the 1980s. Jeans were often worn with denim jackets or denim shorts, or accessorized with denim purses or backpacks.

Retro Style Choices
-
Choosing your retro style depends upon the statement you want to make . Create an endless number of looks from the numerous retro fashions. Mix and match eras to create your own special style or go for a specific authentic look.
For an easy going, whimsical feel, try the 1960′s hippie fashion style. People donned bellbottom jeans, tie dye shirts and long hair during the ’60′s. Retro rocker t-shirts such as The Doors and The Rolling Stones also fit with this period. Add long, unkempt hair, round rosy glasses and a cool headband to complete this look.
Swing and rock-a-billy are popular styles of music and dance at many underground clubs. Swing style conjures up music and fashion from the 1940′s. Guys rock hip sharkskin suits, wingtip shoes and fedoras. The gals look hot in fishnet stockings, knee length print dresses and chunky pumps. Men usually wore their hair greased back, whereas women had hair curled and pinned up. Women also wore plenty of heavy black mascara and bright red lipstick.
If you want to take a walk on the wild side, 70′s punk couture may be for you. 70′s punk style consisted of wearing heavy Dr. Martens boots, ripped jeans and a black motorcycle jacket over a ripped punk band t-shirt. Popular 70′s punk bands include The Misfits, The Sex Pistols and The Ramones. Dyed hair and Mohawks were popular with 70′s punk. Also piercings, black studded bracelets and black nail polish were also part of the punk look.
The 80′s are back and are now a popular retro style. 80′s fashion meant bright colors, shoulder pads and statement message shirts. Parachute pants and Members Only jackets ruled the local malls. Mix and match styles, such as Madonna’s costume jewelry and rubber bracelet look, which were all the rage. Don’t forget about big hair from the 80′s which meant using lots of heavy duty hairspray and teasing.
Selecting Your Retro Style
-
Review items in your closet for unusual accessories, shoes and clothing. Select specific items and partner them with hair and make-up to achieve your style. For example, if you are going for a retro 80′s look you could partner a large bright shirt with a pair of tight pants. Shoulder pads were big in the 80′s, so if you don’t own a pair, duct tape a small folded washrag inside each shoulder of your shirt. Add a large belt around your waist and, if your shirt has a collar, flip the collar upward. Tease your hair, the bigger the better, and add industrial strength hairspray to finish your ‘do.
The 60′s look is easy if you own a simple tie dye t-shirt. Partner the shirt with a pair of old jeans and add some sandals. Make a headband from a bandana and wear any jewelry that has a peace sign on it. Draw a peace sign on your cheek if you are going to a costume party to emphasize your style.
Retro 70′s punk works well if you start with your favorite punk t-shirt–if it’s ripped, even better. Wear heavy black shoes, add a chain wallet and wear chain or spiked jewelry. Add a black leather motorcycle jacket if you own one. Otherwise skip the jacket but don’t ignore the hair. Purchase spray-on temporary hair color in your favorite primary color and spike your hair if possible. If your hair won’t spike, pull hair down and forward so your bangs fall over your eyes.

- When it comes of the various color trends, denim might not preserve its initial shade.

Instead sport some of the latest colored jeans trends or limit yourself to the neutral shades as showed above.Prints are also common as illustrated at Balmain. These denim styles appeal to a more complex structure and are embellished with additional details of a similar or contrastive color. Both in the case of jeans as well as vests and even jackets everyone has green way to adopt a more out-of-the-ordinary denim trend which still bears the signs of the ageless trend with a more urban chic flair.
