Question: What type of shoes and hairstyles are used to protray 1960's looks!?
I'm in the play, "The Death and Life of Larry Benson" which takes place after the Vietnam War, late '60's!. What type of shoe and hairstyles would be appropriate!? Would my character shoes work!?
Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The type of clothes worn could also be determined by the age of the character, but ladies wore pointy toed pumps, bouffant hairstyles or ponytails if younger!. If this was towards the end of the 60's, ladies would still wear the same sort of shoes, but younger girls would wear short dresses, mostly shift type dresses, in bright colors and patterns, long straight hair, and Maryjane type shoes!. I was in high school during the 60's and that is what I would have worn!. Most of the girls would wear dresses or skirts though and very short!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

For a sophisticated look I would do a Jackie O!. thing!. For a youthful look, mini dress with white boots & straight hair!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
