This was the time with diverse fashion trends. Bell-bottomed trousers were alternatives for capris in the 1960’s. Girls usually wore chiffon blouses, polo necks, ribbed sweater, etc with these trousers. Hemlines kept rising and reached above mid-thigh. These were knows as mini-skirts. A popular look for girls was the suede mini-skirt with polo necks and beret caps. For evening wear, skimpy chiffon baby-doll dresses with spaghetti-straps were the mode as well as the cocktail dresses, which was a close-fitting sheath usually covered in lace.

By the late 1960’s, the hippie look was more in style. This was the rebellious age for teens as well. Fashion was inspired from all around the world like, Nepal, India, South Africa, etc. They wore bell-bottomed jeans with tie-dyed shirts and headbands. Messy hair with natural eyebrows was the thing back then. Sandals became very popular among people. Long maxis with belts and animal prints began to rise by the late 1960’s.

The rise in economy led to the rise in women power which started the single girl thinking. Women became more independent and to show their freedom they started promoting sportswear. This term quickly changed to “The working girl”. The working girl created an image of a new, independent woman who has control over her body and who chooses to wear anything.
