Dress Up Ideas For A Sixties Or Hippie Fancy Dress Party

One of the more popular dress up ideas is a 60s costume. The sixties was a decade of freedom and free spiritless. People went barefoot, they wore bellbottom trousers and floral flowing shirts and mini dresses. Their hair was long and wild, they wore headbands and lots of beads. It was a decade of anything goes and that is why a sixties dress up party is so easy and also so much fun. Anything goes. Also, almost everyone has clothing in their wardrobe that could be from the sixties, be it a pair of flared jeans or a tie and dye tee shirt. It’s easy to get a wig, some rose tinted sunglasses and to don a few strings of beaded necklaces. And music from the sixties and sixties style dancing, freestyle, is so much fun too.

Sixties parties for adults

The kind of people who throw sixties parties, if you look at costumes online, are either adults or teens. Young children do not really know about the different decades and it is unlikely a sixties party would appeal to them; they are more into cartoons or pirates or animals! Adults of all ages love a sixties theme and it is wonderful idea for a fortieth, fiftieth, sixtieth, seventieth or even an eightieth birthday party. And of course for young adults too. The music from the sixties was amazing and good dance music. And food, well, anything goes, but definitely add a few ‘health cookies’ or even a fondue!
