The style of clothing that arose during this period of time very clearly resonates with such elegance and femininity that is in demand today. It is from the 60s that amazing models of skirts in retro style are born today. Most modern couturiers are increasingly turning to the works of their predecessors to borrow ideas for fashionable styles, bringing their interesting ideas and creating new, unique fashionable masterpieces.
Features
The era of the 60s is characterized simply by a huge number of innovations in fashion. A sheath skirt, a midi-length bell skirt, and various prints on a cosmic theme became popular at that time. Style icons at that time were Catherine Deneuve, Bridget Bardot, Jacqueline Kennedy, Twiggy.
They greatly contributed to the promotion of the new fashion to the masses, their images went through the outdated conservatism, creating a completely new look at how a woman should look.
A distinctive feature of the style in the clothing of the 60s is the emphasized sexuality, which until then women were simply ashamed to demonstrate.
Also during this period, with a light filing of the famous Twiggy “twig girl” and the famous Pierre Cardin, a thin type of figure comes into fashion. Slenderness is becoming an indispensable attribute of beauty.
Perhaps the main innovation in clothes during this period was the experiment with the length of the skirts - an unprecedented model of a mini-skirt appeared, which produced the effect of an exploding bomb and became a symbol of the sex revolution and gender equality.
A short skirt-a-line with a simple straight cut created a daring image of a sexy girl who does not depend on anyone's opinion and is capable of the most daring actions.
A fitted mid-length flared skirt with an oversized fit favorably emphasized the waist line, hiding wide hips.This model was preferred to be worn by girls who did not fit the new standards of the figure, hiding excess weight under the volume of the skirt.
Pleated skirts in a wavy or flowing cut helped create a laid-back look, slightly flavored with sexuality and sensuality.
In the business style of clothing, straight-cut models appear - the popularity of the style of a pencil skirt reaches its zenith during this period. The fabric surrounding the hips favorably distinguishes their sexual lines, and the high waistline makes the figure more slender.
What to wear?
The models of skirts that came to us from the 60s are notable for their simplicity of cut, so you can choose any style of the top - it can be simple ruffles or a voluminous chiffon blouse tucked into the skirt.
When choosing a model, you should consider that a skirt already gives your look a pronounced sexuality, so the top should not be too frank.
From shoes to the image that emerged from the middle of the last century, shoes with a low heel or wedge fit perfectly. Short white socks help to emphasize the special color of the past era, and we recommend paying attention to wide rims of accessories.
