Clothing
There was a belief in dressing creatively and freely. It didn’t matter what was worn but it was necessary to wear whatever they pleased. Teenagers would grow their hair long and chose not to shave their beards. The clothing they wore was colorful and repelled everything that was considered nice. Tie-Dye was popular and dresses that were long and loose had increased in popularity. These dresses were also bright and colorful. The definition of what was considered short changed and the trend of miniskirts and short-shorts was spreading. The material that they made these clothes with would vary during this period.Steel-Toed black shoes were frowned upon in the hippie movement as it was a sign of big brother. Sandals and comfortable footwear was the common choice. Since many lived on the road away from home, they learned to make do with what they had. Cotton was the basic thread used for lightweight clothing. However, anything that could work as a substitute was not an issue. The idea of what was considered normal was not normal for the members of the hippie movement.
