Have you ever wondered who started the hippie fashion? Well the Vietnam War
played a part in it. When the Vietnam War was happening people protested and
expressed the way they felt through their clothes.
The young people of the 60s were sick and tired of wearing what they had to.
Instead they created their own style of fashion. Their fashion expressed youth,
freedom, colour, peace and happiness.
When the war had finished people began to rebuild themselves financially and
socially. People had more money and the young people became more independent
in earning their own money and on top receive their parents allowance. Since the
young ones had money to use they invested it in creating their own identity.
For the very first time in the fashion industry the young people became the leaders
of fashion. This, along with sexual revolution, the space race, curiosity for other
cultures, The Vietnam War and Womans Liberation Movement was some of
the happenings, ideas and thoughts that changed fashion forever.
The young generation had no fear to reveal themselves and take risks. Men often let
their hair grow long, especially hippies and for the African Americans, the afro was
the popular hairstyle. These young people had their mind set on changing fashion
and so they did. You needed to be young to be able to wear such a controversial
outfit.
Although these clothes couldnt be worn at every place, one of the places was
school. Schools still had rules and restrictions.
For e.g.: Boys wouldnt be allowed to wear blue jeans and girls werent allowed to
wear any kind of pants.

Flower Power was a slogan used in the late 1960s and 1970s as a symbol of the
non-violent idea. The slogan was made in opposition to the Vietnam War. People
who were against the war were given the names of Hippies.
They wore anti-war clothing. Peace signs, flowers, bright colours were all
symbolized things that were totally against the war. They used flowers as a symbol
for life, love and peace. They put flowers in their hair and around their necks.
Both the men and women grew their hair long, and the female didnt wear much
makeup. Their clothes were often large and loose, to symbolize the freedom the
hippies wanted. The colours were natural which symbolic for nature was.
The styles had bell bottom jeans, tie dye and paisley prints. The way they thought
and how their personality was reflected on their clothes. They were calm,
nonviolent, free people.
The Vietnam War impacted the fashion in the 1960s greatly. It gave young people a
chance to invent their own identity, to be who they wanted to be, to live in a
peaceful and happy world. There are still some hippies today and hopefully this
fashion trend can live on. Something good came out of the war which was you can
express and protest against the war through your clothing. That its okay to not
always agree with things going on in the world.
