No CC Decades Outfits 2.0

1960s Women's fashion

With women's fashion the game actually gives us some really good options. I won't use all for women, but will save some for teens, but in short there are a few dresses as well as some skirts that work really well for the era. There are a few items that are missing, such as loafers for women or some really good kitten heels or some good nighties (it does look like the upcoming slumber party will have a few good options there). I also miss shirts with that straight 60s look, most the straight shirts we have are crop tops (can we ban crop tops from game now, please?)

Everyday

When most os us think of the sixties, we think of the youth fashion. Miniskirts and go-go boots, psychedelic prints or A-line skirts. I definitely tried to incorporate that, like the fourth outfit with the Moschino skirt and go-go boots, or the paterns on that A-line skirt in picture two. But what I also tried to think of was the housewife and mother, or office secretary who might wear more mature clothing. Therefore I tried to have some more mature 60s outfits. I am extra pleased with the second outfit in the third picture, where the colors, paterns and capri pants are just perfect for that 60s look. For some of the outfits I was inspired by pictures of Audrey Hepburn, though some of those clothes work for the avant-garde 50s look too.

Winter wear:

Since the 1960s is the decade of the miniskirt, we can actually start using our one coat in game. It's not perfect, but will do the trick. I also picked a few different jackets for this decade, and especially the quilted looks good. The oil-coat I've used before, but it's such a classic it can be from any decade really. I also kept using the male jacket from Batuu, as it still fits as a woman's coat.

Summer wear

For summer I've picked a wide skirt dress as the first outfit, as the wide skirt look by no means was dead in the 60s. Especially in the early parts of the decade this was a very common look, and I think the colors and styling fits the decade. Another popular look was the white capri-pant and various tops, so I wanted to incorporate that, as well as the classic tucked shirt in long-shorts look that was quite common. But of course the sixties was also short skirts, shorts and rompers, so I tried incorporating that as well.

Swimming

For swimming, the 1960s is the breakthrough decade of the bikini, but ordinary swimsuits existed as well. It's actually quite hard creating good looks in game, because a lot of the shapes does not exist in game. But I did get a few looks that I think works, although I will also keep using the 50s looks for this in the 60s. 

Workout wear

For sports outfits, the same applies to women's as to men's sportswear, meaning there weren't that much changes from the 50s although obviously prints and colors changed with the fashion. But we still see shorts and t-shirts, leotards and sweatsuits. In ads, men and women often wear matching sweatsuits. Women's pants often have pleats and look more like every day pants than things to work out in. The first look is inspired by this. The next two represent the leotard and skin-tight work out wear.

Formal wear: 

For formal outfits I've tried to cover both the cocktail dress and the really formal gala-dress. Much of the sheet dresses from the 50s remained in fashion for this, as did the princess dresses at least at the start of the decade. I've kept colors light as they often were in formal occasions (I've looked a lot at dresses from the Oscars), but added in a few pops of color to reflect the change of style in the decade.

Party outfits: 

When it comes to party wear I thought more of the emerging club-scene than the family dinner. Bold colors and prints, go-go boots and color blocking. A lot of these outfits could also be used for a little louder YA or teen every day outfits. For mom's party look, I'd use the cocktail outfits featured above.

Sleeping outfits: 

I am almost tempted to leave this one until after we've had the new slumber party kit. It looks like it contains several pieces that will fit the decade perfectly. I can't wait for it to arrive. But I still tried to find a few looks that I thought might fit, although a lot from the 50s will be used still.
