Tips
If you are already lost just thinking about how to put together a costume with 60s clothes for women, some tips can make the process simpler.
- Poá: the print is a classic of the looks and costumes of that time, and if the intention is a very characteristic look, don't be afraid to invest in this type of print. The balls can be large or small, and consistent with the proportions of the piece.
- Dress: the super feminine piece is well known at the time, and if you want to bet on this type of clothing for the look, choose a model with a fuller skirt, and with a marked body and waist. The length of this outfit should follow the midi line or be just above the knees.
- Single front: both for the dress and for the look with a skirt and blouse, the bet for the neckline should be the single front model, that is, the type that goes through the neck. The thicker straps are very characteristic and should be part of the blouse.
- Round skirt: if you bet on 60s clothes with a skirt, choose a model that is round in the skater style and even with a certain volume. For this, it is worth choosing structured fabrics or betting on the piece with tulle volume.
- Doll shoes: on the feet, the correct bet is for shoes with a rounded toe and medium heels, but it is worth adapting and even wearing sneakers or pumps that follow the doll model.
- Sunglasses: accessories such as sunglasses help a lot to complete the style, and for those who are going to adopt the piece, the model must have colored frames and/or follow the cat model.
- Gloves: coming from the previous decade, the little gloves on the hands complete the clothes of the 60s and characterize the damsel and delicate look with the printed dress.
- Necklace: another accessory that completes the look, the bet here is to use the models with small pearls, which are delicate and match the halter neckline.
