Classic 60′s Fancy Dress Costumes – Follow the Hippies for Real Colour
Everyone likes colour and colour is making a comeback. In the 1960′s the hippie revolution really took hold and it shook fashion, and a few other things, to the core. And, as if in fitting tribute, some of the wonderful fashions and styles of the 60′s are making a comeback as we appear to have moved full circle with a resurgence of both some of the hippy values as well as the clothing.
And with the massive revival and interest in pop concerts and with the huge crowds currently being drawn to music festival attendance it really does feel like some of the good parts of the 60′s are returning. So a hippie costume themed party would seem a safe bet during the summer and makes a great and colourful alternative to a luau or beach party fancy dress costume theme.
The only rule to hippy fancy dress costumes is that there are no rules, or none that need to be obeyed. Anything went as long as it was colourful and took a giant step away from the drabness of the mainstream fashion. Although Hippy fashion was led from San Francisco and London it was based on traditional fabrics and designs from countries like India, China, Morocco and Central America and its leaders and main consumers were initially the pop stars of the day who also found themselves on a path of rebellion. The only real switch over fashion that existed in both worlds was the faithful miniskirt, a style that has outlasted all other fashion statements.
If you are looking to assemble your own Hippie costume you’ll need to dive back into your wardrobe and see what you have from the period. Again the only limitation to the costume is that from your own psychedelic imagination. Bellbottom trousers ruled and these can be made by inserting a triangular piece of material into the outer seam of a pair of blue jeans. The wider the flare you require the longer the inset into the seam needs to be. Team these with a bright coloured dashiki or kaftan, or a tie dyed top for the best effect. Add a long wig and headband of matching psychedelic material a couple of flowers and decorate the whole ensemble with plenty of peach and love symbols.
However you are creating your Hippie fancy dress you will need plenty of costume accessories. Easily acquired these can include colourful vests and patchwork or frilly jackets, granny glasses, long wigs with beads or Afro wigs which can be either short or huge depending on your own style. Jewellery would include bangles, rings, ankle bracelets and the peace symbol and other eastern symbols should be considered.
And hippy costumes are also suitable for costume parties themed to films like Austin Powers and remember that this was the time of sayings like ‘Feeling Groovy’ and ‘Yeah Baby’. So if you invest in a Hippy fancy dress costume then it will hopefully be possible to use it on a number of occasions.
And if you can enlist a few friends who are up for the idea, and you have a selection of suitable music you can recreate your own Woodstock or Isle of Wight festival. It doesn’t matter how many hippy costumes there are it’s unlikely that any two will be the same and Hippie fancy dress costumes are available for men and women and smaller costumes are available in children’s sizes.
Invitations to the party can be simple cards printed with the iconic peace symbol or a selected expression of the time. Psychedelic colouring should be used wherever possible or alternatively bright colours. Party decorations should include some painted anti-war or anti anything posters and can include flower cutouts or just flowers, daisy chains if you have time or buy some daisy styled flower accessories and scatter these around your buffet table – and don’t forget the incense. The possibilities are endless and the same decorative theme will work for adult parties as well.
So if you’re a die-hard hippie or simply someone looking for a cool and unusual costume party theme why not invite all your friends for a Hippie party and don’t forget to tell than that its fancy dress.
