Original hippie costume ideas
Dress up 60s style with an authentic hippie costume. Free-spirited and relaxing, a hippie outfit will make you look like a love child. Shop thrift stores or search the back of your closet for garments that are free flowing and casual. Wear bright colors and cotton fabrics to get an original look.
Crocheted Garments
Wear handmade, crocheted garments in true flower child style. Choose a colorful crocheted poncho with crochet angel tassels. Top a white belled sleeve shirt with a crocheted vest that ties in the front. Finish your look with a wide-brimmed crochet hat.
Tie-Dye Clothing
Wear a tie-dye T-shirt with a large peace sign in the front. Tie-dye shirts with a rich purple and red background look good with a bright yellow smiley face. A tie-dye head wrap is suitable for men and women to wear. Women could choose a tie-dye peasant skirt for a free flowing look.
Hippie Shoes
Buy a pair of flip-flops and customize them with some craft paint. Make bright orange or neon green flip flops appear genuine with white flowers painted on them. Glue pink daisy flowers on to the thongs of the flip-flops. Use a hot glue gun to attach them permanently. Wear a pair of platform shoes. Choose a pair with a funky heel and ankle straps.
Hippie Jewelry
Braided hemp jewelry pieces are the right accessories for an original hippie look. Pick a necklace with decorative beads sewn into them. Wear two or three hemp bracelets together with your outfit. A hemp anklet with dangling shells or beads is a funky accessory. Hang a large peace sign from a strand of leather and wear it as a necklace. Daisy chain necklaces made from silk flowers will give you a real flower child look. Put on a pair of mirrored beatnik style sunglasses. Alternatively, select of pair of sunglasses with a wide, white frame.
Hippie Jeans
Don a pair of hippie jeans to complete your outfit. Bell bottomed jeans with decorative embroidery patches are authentic hippie favorites. Choose a dark blue wash or faded blue jean. Wear a wide leather belt with a big buckle on the front.
Wigs
Transform yourself completely with a wacky hippie wig. Imitate Cher's look with a wig of long black hair. Top the look off with a leather headband that ties at the back. A big afro is also a funny choice.
