Right off the top of my head, clothing-wise, I'm thinking of polyester double knits, and men's super wide ties and wild plaid jackets with patch pockets, and leisure suits. ************** I think of this as 70's not 60's. But the 70's is when the "do your own thang" hippy, peace, drug culture and all had become mainstream. Ties and suits in the 60's are not hippy and , in the Beatle-mania period, are of the Ivy League" kind....narrow, and tight. That "Peter Max" color scheme and flashy big ties and bell-bottomed plaid suits don't enter into main stream until after the Beatles drop acid and go to India. Sgt Pepper isn't until 1967. The decade is more than half over. Before it goes commercial, the hippy movement is anti-establishment and "down with authority!" Like Beatniks in the 50's, it's fringe. And that 60's "Austin Powers" look is English Mod.... not hippy.
