Is becoming a Flower Child for Halloween your “Far Out” costume choice?

Welcome to FlowerChildCostume.com, where you can purchase the groovy 60s and 70s clothing worn during the Hippie movement or cute children’s flower costumes for the toddlers and infants to wear.

The flower power era brought a combination of wild colorful minis and granny dresses and bell bottom pants and psychedelic shirts for guys. There was a great opportunity to dress up or down, depending on your outlook and whether you were hitting the Disco for dancing or the coffee house for folk music.

Bold patterns and Paisley dresses, flowing skirts and pant suits for girls were big, and all types of boots were worn at the club scene and the commune. Huge outdoor concerts, like Woodstock, became meeting places for teens and every age group that showcased a wide variety of Rock bands and Folk singers. It was a common site to see people with their thumb out holding a sign with their destination.

It didn’t matter if your hair was long and straight or curly, wearing headbands of leather and other materials became the hip thing to wear. Peace symbols and beaded necklaces were worn by both sexes and flowers in your hair showed the back-to-nature approach many young people adopted.

Fringed leather boots and vests you will want to consider when putting together a costume that mirrors the hippie clothing styles worn by flower children from the 1960s. Rose colored glasses in many shapes were another fashion accessory.

Many of the bands from the British Invasion, especially the Beatles, brought a tailored look to the States, but this soon gave way to a more relaxed style influenced Jimi Hendricks, Jefferson Airplane and the large number of folk acts, like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Peter, Paul and Mary.

Pants and jeans were hip-huggers and other than the tight fitting Disco style, shirts and blouses had a very loose fitting peasant look. If not in boots or barefoot, very simple sandals will complete you flower child costume.

Bongos and acoustic guitars are not necessary, but if an authentic look is your goal these instruments were prevalent and impromptu jam sessions were the norm.

As mentioned earlier, you might be looking for a flower costume for a child that is just an actual Sunflower or Rose. Be sure to check the toddler and infant outfits available.
