Because many of the current fashion trends of 2013 are influenced by the 1960s, it's important to understand where the influences are coming from and to see how the current trends align or differ from the originals!
One of the classic 1960s looks was the Chanel suit. The women's suit was introduced by Coco Chanel in 1925 but was such a classic, timeless piece that it remained in fashion for decades after. Each decade it would be slightly altered to better suit the time. In the '60s it was worn with a cropped jacket that was often collarless with large, oversized buttons and paired with a pencil skirt.
Shift dresses became the popular choice for women's wear in the '60s. Shifts were shapeless, geometric dresses that sometimes had a bit of a billow to them.
The A-line style came in style in full effect during this time as well. This was carried over by the late '40s and the '50s. This style would have a full skirt with a tightly fitted waist.
Another new style was the cropped pants for women. This was just a casual look but very important in fashion history as it was the start of women wearing pants more freely and frequently.
For shoes, kitten heels and little black flats became a staple in every wardrobe. Audrey Hepburn is well known for sporting such styles.
