As someone who was there, I remember tie-dyed clothing (especially if you were a Deadhead); hiphugger bellbottoms; gogo boots (white vinyl, of course!); colored, textured?tights (I wore colored tights with fishnets over them); dashikis; headbands; miniskirts; frilly, Victorian-like blouses; sandals; big, floppy hats; peasant blouses and skirts; ethnic or gypsy clothing (check Giorgio de SantAngelo a favorite fashion designer); headscarves worn pirate-like sideways; Mondrian-print dresses and tunics; Pucci-print dresses (I had a minidress with a hood in a pucci print); dresses and blouses with hugem flowing sleeves; square-toes, chunky-heeled shoes with straps or buckles.
I wore a tie-dyed tee shirt, shorts, and sandals to Woodstock. So did a lot of other people. I hope that helps.

I may be going to a 1960s hippies style event and if so, need to wear a costume. My recollection isn't so good. Remember what they said: "If you can remember it, you weren't really there"? Anyhow, I'm trying to remember when long skirts and dresses came in. I can only recall wearing them in the 1970s, but my legs, not being what they used to be, definitely do not want to be seen in a mini skirt, which is all I can remember wearing in the late 60s. Along with bell bottom pants, of course, which is an option, but I prefer a dress.? ? What do you early boomers recall?? ?
