Are you constantly looking for a new way to express yourself through your clothes? Do you value fashion over function? If so, then the 1960s is your era. During this decade, the abstract began to make its appearance in everyday wear. Think big, clear plastic umbrellas that passed your waist, bright colored tights and a-line dresses with bold patterns. If it was different and called attention to how hip you were, it was a go.
Sure, your parents might not have understood why you decided to take a plastic bucket, spray paint it red and wear it as a hat to school--but it all made sense to you. If you can dream it up (and you'll stand out), why shouldn't you wear it? It's about making a statement...a fashion statement. Keep wearing your head-turning gear. Blending in is just, well, boring.
