Hippies started in the 1960s. They are people, especially youth, who supports peace, love, nature, and nonconformism. They show these through distinctive music, clothes, and philosophy. Simplicity is another matter they strongly believe.
Hippie girls’ fashion was inspired by Native American styles and prints. Earth colors of brown, tan, and green were common in clothes. Also, natural fibers were used, such as cotton, wool, and leather. Hippie outfits are made from light fabrics like cotton.
If you like traveling without any itinerary and like the companion of random friends, then you are a hippie traveler.
So how will you have a unique and genuine fashion style if you’re a hippie traveler?
Stylish Hippie Tops
Fashionable hippie girls wear loose and comfortable tops. If you like to travel in a hot country, you must try these out.
You can start on a simple, faded & used t-shirt. Another hippie outfit is the famous tie-dyed shirt. For a more fashionable top, you can choose a dashiki with a colorful tribal pattern. Also, full-sleeved tunics and caftans with comfy and loose-fitting can be selected. You may choose earth tones of brown, tan, and green.
A long-sleeved peasant blouse is an additional popular and beautiful hippie outfit with it being trendy without the use of accessories.
Hippie Bottoms
For the waist to knees, you may choose between three famous hippie styles- mini skirt, maxi dress, or bell-bottoms. If you opt for a mini skirt, it may be black or tights with design underneath. If you love dresses, pick a floor-length flowing maxi dress made from cotton or any light fabric.
It may be an earth-colored ones or with floral patterns. When experimenting, try your mini skirt or maxi dress with animal, floral, or paisley patterns. The bell-bottoms are pants with legs that are very wide at the bottom. Bell-bottom pants were the signature fashion style of hippie culture that was worn by both women and men before. You may choose from earth-toned or jewel colors of brown, dark green, maroon, or yellow.
Footwear for Hippie Travelers
The best footwear to match these is moccasins or sandals. Wear comfortable flats of Birkenstocks, which is made of cork bottom and leather upper material. Or you might like the leather flip flops which look great in skirts or dresses.
For the proper matching footwear during cold days, leather or suede boots are perfect. It could also be cowboy boots. Do not forget the fringes on it.
Jackets, Vests, and More!

You should look for fringe vests and jackets to put on your hippie-inspired top. Fringe is the extra cloth cut rectangularly and thinly into pieces, which is an added flare to an outfit. The suede fringe vest may be long, short, colorful, monochrome, floral, loose, tight, floral or beaded.

To accessorize your overall look, did you know you could make it? Handcrafted jewelries like a long beaded necklace, natural stones, seashells, peace charms, and large ethnic-inspired earrings can make you more unique.
For your hair, put a dark-colored circular headband in a crosswise manner. You can also get cool dreadlocks.
