Tiffany **The Fashion of the 60's** In the early 60's, the wide skirts of the 50's were still popular and the formal look stayed. Then in the mid 60's, the hems got higher as the mini skirt was introduced. The popular hairstyle was to comb the hair back. The Flip, the Pixie, and the Beehive hairstyles became all the rad. The Flip had volume and the ends were flipped out. The Pixie was a short cut and the Beehive was what it sounded like, I giant beehive on top of or behind the head held aloft with mass amounts of hairspray. Their clothes went from formal to semi-formal. Then, the late 60's came into play. Casual was introduced and the Hippy look struck a cord. Floral print, long hair, and hippy beads became popular with teens and young adults. But the 60's came to an end as the hems dropped and the Skinhead was born into the world.

**Music of the 60's** The Beatles, The Who, and Pink Floyd were some of the top bands in the 60's. The Beatles had music about peace and sometimes drugs. The Who had a mixture of topics and had chart-topping hits. The Byrds rivaled the Beatles and fans flocked to the two bands. Pink Floyd had rebelling music. A famous line of lyric from them is “we don't need no education.” The sound of these bands was loved and practically worshiped by people all over America.
