    About this ebook

    Many of today's trends are throwbacks to decades past. The 1960s and 1970s brought us pillbox hats and bell bottoms. People made their own tie-dyed shirts and flared pants. Add a little '60s and '70s to your wardrobe, and let history's fashions style your look.

      CHANGING TIMES, CHANGING FASHION

      images/img-4-1.png

      If you’re like most girls, there’s probably more than one miniskirt, T-shirt, and pair of flared jeans in your closet. All of these items first became popular in the 1960s and 1970s. This period saw some of the biggest changes ever in fashion.

      In the 1950s being fashionable was easy. If you were wealthy, your clothes came from French designers. If you weren’t, you bought cheaper copies from department stores and small clothing shops. How old you were mattered little. Women of all ages dressed in very similar styles.

      In the 1960s and 1970s, everything changed. Suddenly, French designers were no longer in charge.

      Designers in England and the United States started to influence how women dressed. They increasingly drew their inspiration from everyday people with a certain style or flair. Designers looked to stylish young women who wanted to break free from the past. More youthful fashion options allowed younger people more room for personal expression and rebellion.

      From year to year, styles changed so fast even the most fashionable women struggled to keep up. These two decades were an exciting, dizzying time. And they changed the fashion world forever.

      SIMPLE AND CHIC

      In November 1960 John F. Kennedy became the youngest man ever elected president of the United States. The next year he and his family moved into the White House.

She was refined, beautiful, and most of all,
