The hippie look is easy to create. Chances are good that you know someone who has original pieces of this wardrobe in an attic or closet.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Shave, but glue on a mustache and/or beard if you don't have one naturally.
Step2
Put on a shaggy-looking wig unless your hair is at least chin-length.
Step3
Put on a headband. Any style will do.
Step4
Tuck a tight, tie-dyed T-shirt into hip-hugging bell-bottom jeans.
Step5
Put on a beaded necklace. It should come down to your chest.
Step6
Slip into a fringed suede vest to complete the look.
Step7
Wear either sandals or boots, depending on the season.

Tips & Warnings

  • Put on a CD or tape from the late 1960s while you're putting yourself together.
  • Practice making the "V" peace sign and saying "groovy."
