The youth movement of the 1960s created the "hippie" look that remains recognizable today. The free-flowing hair and ragged bell-bottom jeans of that era make it an easy look to recreate. At your next Halloween bash, try a few of these ideas to make your hippie costume stand out in the crowd! - Any hippie costume is incomplete without '60s hair: a crazy Afro, long, straight hair (on both women and men), and a long beard fit the bill. If your hair doesn't quality, think about borrowing, buying, or renting a wig from a costume or discount store. There are certain accessories associated with hippies, including glasses with rose- or blue-tinted lenses, headbands and knee-high boots (for women). Flowers in your hair or long strands of earthy-colored jewelry might be the perfect addition to your costume. Wear sandals or consider going barefoot.
- Specific types of clothing are associated with the hippie movement. Bell-bottom jeans, tie-dyed shirts and vests are available in many discount stores. You could even make your own tie-dyed shirt. Long, loose, embroidered peasant blouses, skirts, or dresses are great options for women. Anything fringed will also add to your hippie look.
- Make your mark on the party by bringing signs or posters with you to the party. Your sign could read "Peace not War" or "All You Need is Love". Also consider bringing a hand drum or paint a peace symbol on your face. Create a prop that will be a personal expression of your inner hippie. For example, bring organic granola bars as a treat for other partygoers.
