The sixties in my opinion have always been one of the most influential decades for fashion and this stays true because
many things that you find in stores today are 60's inspired
60's colour trends this season are mainly pastels such as pink, blue, purple, yellows as well as orange and some green hues as well.
The fabrics for this trend are very soft and light, a lot of popular fabrics you'll see in the stores include chiffon's, twill's, cottons, as well
as jersey knits.
Trends:
Bottoms
High waisted skirts were and continue to be a fav item of the 60's. This season you can find them in so many different prints, colours
and styles. ow we can't forgot the short shorts which is the baby of the 60's. The distressed look is still in and yes that means
distressed short shorts. If distressed isn't your look than you can always opt for twill plaids which are also making a come
back this season.
