The hippie fashion style we wear today has a rich
history behind it. The hippie movement, incited mostly by young people, was
started in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The hippie fashion is defined by a carefree,
non-conformist attitude toward life, love, and politics. Hippies inherited a
tradition from bohemians and the beat generation in the late 1950s.
Around the late
1960s, many young people were concerned with social values; their passion and
resulting actions developed into an anti war movement. Some hippies opposed
Australian involvement in the Vietnam War, while others were concerned about nature.
In the early 1970s, young people strongly called for peace, love, and freedom.
These often nomadic hippies were frequent drug users. Their style
was inspired by non-Western cultures, such as Indian and African. Hippie
clothing is usually made out of natural fibers and free flowing materials. Flowing
and romantic fabrics are very popular among hippies.
