New Zealand
Fashion during the 1960’s was pared down. Dresses were
straight, plain & brief and the
hemlines went way above the knee and eventually the ‘mini’ was born. Women
ditched the suspended hosiery and waisted tights were in. Men’s clothes were
straight and narrow and trouser cuffs disappeared. Men’s lapels became thin and
buttoned high and shirt collars were buttoned down.
