1960 gave us the very famous peace movement. It was a time when the whole world was witnessing some of the biggest political and social changes. During this time, even the fashion industry was seeing a similar situation. This was the time when people started wearing bohemian style dresses and trippy hats for sale. This free-spirited psychedelic fashion continues to remain fresh and creative even today. The striking features of psychedelic clothing include intense vivid color, and swirling abstract patterns and designs.
Rock music played a crucial role during the 60s, and musicians like Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, and many more served as role models for psychedelic fashion trends. Cover art of rock ‘n’ roll albums were featured on tees, along with the famous peace symbol and exciting flower-power imagery. Pop art inspired colorful, versatile fashion design, similar to what underground comics and poster images did.
Some of the major styles and patters associated with psychedelic fashion are:
*Kaleidoscopic Floral: Conventional 60’s inspired floral prints are twisted into kaleidoscopic patterns combining robust colors and abstract shapes.
*Fluidic lines: This evergreen 60s Californian hippy look makes use of long fluid lines and soft lightweight fabrics.
Hypnotic: This appearance has a hypnotic effect with optical patterns in bright color or monochromatic schemes that can deceive the eye.
*Tie-Dye: Out of all the designs, this is the most popular. These kaleidoscopic designs spread rapidly, and is suitable for both genders. This type of a design can never go out of fashion.
