The 1960s were an iconic, unmistakable era of revolution in fashion, music and societal norms. In many instances, the counter-culture became the mainstream culture and the hippie movement became a major force. Fashion changed as men grew their hair long, clothing became more colorful, and accessories such as beads and flowers became staples. Celebrating this era does not have to be expensive or complicated. Most costume elements can be homemade or bought secondhand for very low prices.
Hosting a 1960s theme party can be a fun way to bring together people you know and celebrate an era known for anti-war protests, Woodstock and music of the likes of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. The 1960s party theme holds enough diversity for party guests of all ages to have fun.
A sixties party is a themed costume party. Guests attend the gathering wearing fashions that were popular during the 1960s. For women that could be anything from granny dresses to mini skirts or bell bottom pants. Although many young men were still wearing shortly cut hair and conservative clothing during the first part of the decade, it is the era's more extreme styles that are typically imitated at a sixties party.
