Reliving the Summer of Love
By San Kim Nguyen
For anyone who lived through the era of the hippie - Woodstock, the Vietnam War and everything that came along with it, nostalgia for that time is strong. But even if you weren't around when free love ruled, it was a time that has so captured the imagination of future generations that we love to think about what it would have been like. Who hasn't given some though to the freedom of the hippies? To riding across the country in a VW van, or attending the greatest music festival in history, Woodstock?
We can't go back in time, we all know that. But the Summer of Love isn't all that far away either. We still have the music, the attitude, and of course the fashion - it's not hard to take a little side trip back in time with a retro costume that makes you feel like a hippie. The good thing about the fantasy? You can take all the fun of hippie culture and leave out the poor hygiene!
Being a flower child is easy with a basic hippie costume. You can even take free love to another level with some of the really sexy version of the hippie look that are available today. Fringes, peace signs and long straight hair are the trademark of the hippie, and with short skirts and bikini tops the look reaches super sexy really fast. Don't forget to put a flower in your hair and flash a peace sign when you head out to the Halloween party in a sexy hippie look.
Hippie costumes aren't just great for Halloween though. They're great to have on hand for a 60's or 70's themed party at any time of year. In fact, if you decide to throw on yourself you will have a blast, and all your friends will love the chance to dress up like flower children for a night. All you need is some classic rock, a few lava lamps and for everyone to show up in the right costumes, and you can really feel like you are re-living the summer of love.
The era of the hippie was a time of social unrest - but it was also a time of great music, unforgettable fashion and a feeling of peace, love and understanding that most of us today can only imagine. This memorable time in history will probably never happen again, but there is no reason we can't bring it back to life whenever we want - at Halloween or any time. Retro costumes from the hippie era are a great place to start.
