They say that everything comes back around if you give it long enough. A few of these fashions may have had short revivals, but for the most part they remain firmly planted in the decade that created them – the ’60s! Compared to less daring fads of the recent past they seem quirky, but back then these 10 fashions were all the rage.

6) Cut Crease Eye Shadow

Not a clothing fashion, but a fad that was distinctly ’60s was the cut crease look for eyes. Either made with eyeshadow or eyeliner, the look was made popular with ’60s celebrities like Priscilla Presley and Twiggy sporting this makeup.
