What was worn in the 1960s?

Fashion in the 1960s progressed toward a more casual look for men and for women during the decade.

What did men wear in the 1960s?

What men wore in the 1960s varied over the course of the decade.

As the decade progressed, the Peacock Revolution occurred, with menswear becoming flashier with bright colors and bold prints. Fedoras and trilby hats were common in the early ’60s, but by the start of the 1970s, hats for men were much less common, marking a major departure from the style conventions of the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s.

What dresses did they wear in the 1960s?

In fact, an emerald one stays in rotation for Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge.

Those seeking modern high-fashion brands are also in luck. Turn your day-to-day into a runway with selections from Dolce & Gabbana, Yves Saint Laurent and Versace or complete that fresh look with stunning footwear classics from the likes of Gucci and Christian Louboutin.

What men wore in the 1960s varied over the course of the decade.
