5 trends from the 60s still turning heads

They say that fashion is cyclical, and a trend that might have been popular years ago may come back into style at any time. The swinging ’60s were playful and one of the most impactful eras in fashion. We’re excited that some of those looks are back in style. Here are our top five ’60s style trends that should make their way into your closet ASAP.
1. THE MINISKIRT
Summer is on our doorstep and there’s no better time to fill your closet with miniskirts. You can dress them up or down, and the miniskirt is a staple you can wear anytime, anywhere. The mini-dress is also a ’60s trend that we still adore today.
2. CROCHET EVERYTHING
We’re seeing this trend almost everywhere: from tops to dresses and even bucket hats. The design of crochet clothes is all about holes, so this trend is perfect for the warmer months coming our way. A crochet dress layered over your bikini will complete your stylish poolside look.
3. THE BABYDOLL DRESS
Babydoll dresses are not just for little girls! If we think of the babydoll dress, our thoughts immediately go to British fashion icon, Twiggy, who made this dress a fashion staple in the ’60s. The puffy sleeves and flouncy skirts make this a perfect summer dress, whether for a beach outing or a brunch with the girls.
4. KNEE-HIGH BOOTS / GO-GO BOOTS
Knee-high boots paired with a miniskirt or a short dress dominated the ’60s fashion scene. Every closet needs a pair. These boots are best suited for winter or autumn, but you can still wear them for a night out during the warmer months. Whether you prefer a high heel or flats, these boots take any outfit to new heights.

The Supremes brought sequins to life, and decades later we still can’t get enough. After two years of living in loungewear, the thought of some sparkle is very enticing. The sequined dress has become the perfect party look, but don’t limit your sequins to festivities. Dress down your sequined skirt with a white T-shirt and sneakers for a pared-back look with a little shine.
