Fabulous Fashions of the 1960s
In the 1960s, some women loved to rock a miniskirt and go-go boots. Others preferred the more conservative look of First Lady Jaqueline Kennedy who donned neutral-colored two-piece suits and pillbox hats. Women had sky-high hairstyles like the beehive or maybe down-to-earth, long, straight hair. African Americans combined traditional African cloth with modern styles and fought for civil rights. A war raged on in Vietnam while the Beatles invaded America. Readers will learn about the fashions, fads, pop culture icons, and world events of the 1960s.
