Hippie fashion came out right after the Beatles movement, which was in the 50’s. Its development was driven by rebelliousness and the need to be free from society’s repressive rules.

If the Beatles era was characterized by the black turtleneck, the 60’s was all about freedom, peace, love, and going back to nature with its colorful loose clothing, peasant blouses, granny dresses, organic accessories, tank tops with bell bottom jeans, and micro-mini skirts. Even the hair was let loose (men and women alike) to signify freedom from the constraints of oneself.

The term “flower power” emerged soon after hippies referred to it as the ultimate symbol of what they believed in (freedom, peace, love, and nature). This of course translated into the frequent use of flowers as accessories and  floral printed clothes that were either hand made, hand painted, or tie-dyed.

Today, hippie fashion is not the general norm, but it is a look one can easily achieve with the right clothing and accessories. Even some celebrities love carrying out this style frequently (Olsen twins, Kate Moss).

If you’re a hippie fashion fanatic, you can take advantage of the spring  season’s call for colors, prints, and patterns by wearing floral printed shoes that are reminiscent of  the Flower Power era.
