Fashion trends of the 1960s: * knee length dresses * miniskirts and hotpants * go go boots (went up to the knees) * granny dresses * bell bottoms * chunky shoes Hair styles of the 1960s: * bouffant hairstyles * hair is either very short or long and lanky * afro (ha ha)
We wore a lot of the same brands that are available now. Cover girl, Maybelline, Revlon--these have been around for decades, almost a century. The status level of some brands has changed, Elizabeth Arden was terribly exclusive then and not at all something you'd find at Ulta. At the decade's tail end, when I was way beneath legal working age (which is why, eventually, I got dismissed), I worked in a very fancy Beverly Hills department store. Therein I used half my salary to buy things like Christian Dior lipstick--I particularly wanted the shade to match my newly aubergine hair--and peacock blue eye crayons from a brand that, I believe, still exists, but only in France, Madeline Mono. From the beginning to the end of the decade, the most stylish among us steered clear of the natural look nonsense and employed the smoky, glittery eye with, occasionally, the deep red lip. Check Debbie Harry for inspiration. I often did. (After that, you might check Poly Styrene. Lady Gaga certainly has. Badly. Then again, she's bothered with, and probably bothered, them both.)
Oh, well, you know I still do that. I wasn't old enough to do it properly then, so I guess I cannot help myself now. Anna Sui says that people most nostalghize the period right before the one belonging to their coming-of-age generation. I think she is probably right. She also says that Ossie Clark--one of the best late 60s/early 70s designers--made clothes "for the rock star's girlfriend." She follows that up with how this is who we all wanted to be. I love her clothes, they're great--in fact, if you want to dress like someone from the 70s while only buying new and you can afford them, she does an able and beautiful job of recreation. Far better than did Marc Jacobs. But I have spent a lot of my life as "the rock star's girlfriend." She's lucky she has her career. I'm just saying. Okay. Let's say you want, instead, to do a real 70s thing and go to a thrift store? Some things you need to keep in mind are: texture--the thing must cling and, when it gets done clinging, it needs to move around on your person in a sensual manner; the item's wearability sans underclothes; skimpiness or skin-tightness--do you see where I'm going from here? Don't let anyone tell you the seventies were not about sex. They were. So often I see on Ebay something that drives me but nuts. People's mothers wore a lot of the stuff referred to as hippie, or disco, or who knows what. The seventies were a time when everyone went out on a fashion limb. Accompanied by platforms, the higher, the wilder, the better. By decade's end, the seeds of the eighties had already been planted, with lighter makeup, mandatory gym membership accompanied by mandatory gym clothes, designer jeans, bad plaid. Don't wear these. With the exception of Brooke and her sad Calvins, nobody who was anybody did.
As someone who knew the inside of many a disco: I used to wear a very short leather skirt with a ribbed short-sleeved sweater, boots, and chunky jewelry. Add big hair, eyeliner, and funky music and you've got the picture of a 1970s disco. Sounds like something a person should wear to a masquerade party now but at the time, we were very cool :-)
