Images: #TBT Gallery looks back at 1967 fashion
Posted May 04, 2017 1:00 am
In this week's #TBT Gallery, we take a look back at fashion and styles from 1967.
Some of the more popular fashion trends in the late 1960s included shorter skirts, knee-high boots, turtleneck shirts, wide belts and sweaters for men, leopard print, bell bottoms, pantsuits and patterned tights.
And of course, the late 1960s saw the hippie culture take off. Headbands, beads, floppy hats, large sunglasses, tie-dyed shirts and flowered clothing were worn.
