Hippie Halloween Costumes

The late 1960s and early 1970s were quite possibly the most colourful and times of all time. Hippies were celebrating love and peace, wearing tie dyed clothes, bell bottom jeans, floppy hats, peace signs, fringe jackets and boots, and love beads all around the world. They called themselves flower children as they drove psychedelic cars, listened to psychedelic music and indulged in psychedelic pastimes.

There is nothing more creative than a Halloween costume based on that exciting era. With the revival of 70s styles, getting everything you need for a hippie Halloween costume is a piece of cake. Finding tie dyed tee-shirts adorned with peace signs, flowers and quotes from the era and all of the accessories to complete that perfect hippie look ““ right down to the rose colored glasses ““ is easy because they are all available in malls, specialty stores and on the internet.

The advantage of showing up in a fringe vest, granny glasses, floppy hat, flower power shirt and bell bottom jeans is the best possible hippie costume for the guy who wants to evoke memories of days gone by. For the woman, a granny dress, or dashiki, giant afro or long natural hair adorned with flowers and sandals or boots is the perfect way to make a hippie dream come true on Halloween night.

Jeans are always the ideal hippie fashion statement for men and women alike. In lieu of tie-dyed tee-shirts, shirts that button down the front with bit floppy collars and sleeves are also evocative of the great days of sex, drugs and rock “˜n roll. Going back to the fun, free-wheeling attire of the hippie era is a fun way to express yourself and release some of that pent up tension that comes with a declining economy, run away unemployment and news about foreclosure rates.

Everyone loved my costume. I wore the pants for a 1970′s party at a New York lounge and set the outfit up just the way it looks on the picture, accessorizing everything with the peace earrings, necklace, etc. Thank you.
