The evolution of fashion

hippie style Hippie style, at least initially, served largely a means of self-expression and protest, than the way to increase their own attractiveness. Since the appearance of this style was a revolt against the following rules, the hippies did not seek to create their own rules, which would have to follow the "members of the club."

Creativity plays a fundamental role style, so anyone who claims that the hippies are icons of the world of patchwork, clothes decorated with embroidered flowers - trying to simplify everything. Some really are all that, but not all. Strictly speaking, hippie wear what is best, in their opinion, reflect their own attitude.

It is widely known that the symbols of peace in the hippie clothes were in protest against the Vietnam War. If you like hippie style and want to supplement your way with this symbol, first think about what you want to say. Treat it as, say, the Christian cross - and then, and more, it is not necessary to wear just as decorations.
Flowers on the clothes - a much more neutral character. The hippie they can express as the desire for harmony with nature, and just be a color, without a hidden motive. Flowers are everywhere - on T-shirts, T-shirts, jeans and skirts. Although for the most ardent supporters of this style of many colors it is not recommended yet reserved attitude to this decorative element. A sober assessment of the merits and demerits of his body and place floral ornaments strategically - in the places that I want to emphasize. Parts of the body that are better to hide, let monochromatic fabric covers or simple geometric patterns.

"The peasant blouse" - one of the most popular elements of the hippie style. The first hippies - US - bought Mexican blouses that were sewn by hand, decorated with embroidery made of natural materials and were cheap. Today, handmade and natural materials are expensive, so instead of blouses can be worn in a fashionable thing today ethnic style - these models are launched into mass production, and are relatively inexpensive.

Gypsy skirt - long, wide and bright - were also part of the style hippies. Because the hippies protesting against the large corporations, they tried to buy a skirt, stitched by hand, in small merchants. Today, these skirts can be bought in many stores or make your own. General rules here again there is the main thing that the skirt was wide, long (it may even drag on the ground - the hippie known disdain for some clean clothes) and bright. The ideal combination of floral prints and stripes on the skirt.

A convenient alternative to the skirt - wide jeans, preferably with embroidered flowers. Worn and torn jeans are not necessary - it's more of an attribute punks than hippie.
Modern style hippies and allows short skirts. For example, a flared skirt a little rust-colored knee-length or slightly above, together with a blouse with floral print or embroidery will look like a more civilized version of hippie style. Leather boots with laces and leather belt tied at the head, complement the image.
Stratification - another feature of the modern hippie style. For example, wear a pale blue tunic Tunica: from ancient Greece to the present day with the bodyside mustard-colored sweater (which must be short tunic) and honey-colored blazer. Down wear dark blue straight pants and platform shoes, preferably not black or brown. To give a clear specifics along hippie style, focusing using bandages on his head, and / or jewelry with vegetable elements.

T-shirts with psychedelic drawings, long cardigans Cardigan - Fashionable summer clothing (often - with wide straps) will also help you get dressed in hippie style, but do not look at it too sloppy or old-fashioned.
Favorite shoes moccasins were hippies From what to wear moccasins: the creation of interesting images That for them symbolized the Native American culture. Some even went barefoot. The modern hippie style allows sandals and sneakers. However, since this style without clear rules, if you like to wear, such as ballet shoes, you can wear them too. That is not exactly suited to the style of the hippies, it's classic boats and any shoes heels.
As for accessories, the preferred cheap ethnic jewelry from Nepal, Morocco and Mexico. However, it should be borne in mind that in the sixties, these decorations were cheap, but now much more economical to buy cheap Chinese counterparts. Alternatively, you can make your own jewelry - beads, wooden beads, colored thread and anything that suggests imagination.
