1960 Fashion Trends in the Philippines

You would notice that 1960 fashion trends in the Philippines are influenced by American popular culture and European fashion styles. The most notable Filipino fashions to watch out for include: the country’s first full-length dress; the two-piece ensemble or the mini skirt; the peasant blouse and the bobbing for boys blouse. Among these, the two-piece dress is perhaps the sexiest that can be seen around. It is also common to see women wearing their long gowns (think of the Philippines’ first Miss Universe) and tight-fitting pants.

Other fashions of the 1960s include dresses made of satin and linen. These have become very popular among the younger Filipino ladies as well as the older set, which are evident by the presence of cafes and clothing boutiques displaying these clothing. One other item that became a trend in the 1960s were the brightly colored tropical beach wear. A lot of foreign designers came to the Philippines to create unique clothing there, which in turn gave rise to the “chief piece” of every Filipino woman – her beach dress. From this, the “chief look” emerged – the key, which Filipinos still use as their national attire.

You can also see the influence of 1960 fashion trends in the colorful jewelry that Filipina women flaunt. From handcrafted beads to steel and wood necklaces, the colorful designs gave birth to unique jewelry that the Filipino people could call their own. Some pieces can even be passed from one generation to another. So if you want to be in style, don’t hesitate to look into the colorful clothing and accessories that the Philippines has to offer.
