Get Your Groove on in Hippie Clothing

Get Your Groove on in Hippie Clothing

We can get behind the feel-good vibe of the 70s. From the superstar musicians to the legendary concerts and of course, the funky fashions, we would time travel back to the groovy decade if we could. Until someone invents a time machine, though, we’ll stick to taking inspiration from the 70s getup.

We’ll take you through the key points on how to pull off hippie style while avoiding a complete blast-from-the-past situation.

The Vibe: Free-For-All

There are no rules when it comes to expressing your personal style, and no decade exemplified that more than the 70s. From sweeping maxi dresses to patchwork vests, the original hippies mixed and matched to their liking, adding their own unique flair with accessories like oversized sunglasses and feather earrings. If you only take away one lesson from this decade, let it be the hippie spirit.

The Print: Psychedelic Patterns

Color and patterns were bountiful during this decade—think tie-dyes, paisleys and floral patterns. These are all timeless prints that would look good on any type of clothing and work for any occasion. For a relaxed look, a tie-dye t-shirt and jeans with Birkenstocks is classic. Channel your inner wild child in a long dress with a floral print for a formal event.

The Shape: Big and Flowy

Free your limbs from tight, uncomfortable clothing. Don’t be afraid to go big in anything you put on, whether it’s a pair of flared, wide-leg pants or a billowy peasant blouse. Feel the breeze rustle your paisley skirt or strut down the streets in your platform shoes and it’ll be like you’re on your way to a funky roller disco party.

The 70s is full of style hints and fashion items that still look great today. Be a modern hippie in groovy getups and spread the peace and love.

Boogie down in these hippie styles.
