The 60's Fashion In Silk Scarves
The 60s was the period for mini skirts and bellbottoms. The first half of the 60s was a frightening time for fashion as clothes were dull and lifeless. These clothes were mostly meant for older people and did not give the younger lot too much to choose from.
Then came the mini skirt designed by Mary Quant and women started wearing it to express their freedom. Along with the mini skirt, women and girls were seen complimenting their outfits with silk scarves, which were mostly paisley prints. In addition, small boutiques started inexpensive clothing, mostly tie-dyed attire, and this gave rise to tie-dye silk scarves.
In addition, celebrities like Jacqueline Kennedy and Grace Kelly popularized silk scarves by being seen them. Women who wanted to look sophisticated emulated these women and wore scarves to further enhance their femininity and elegance.
