6. 1960s – Twiggy-Thin Is In
Like the first sexual revolution in the 1920s, the 1960s were all about being thin. Breaking away from the previous era of full-bodied women, the style icon of the 1960s was Twiggy, who weighed a whooping 91 pounds. Boxy dresses were back in style as they didn’t showcase curves but rather showed off long, thin limbs. Hemlines were also much higher than before to show off the legs. A record amount of amphetamines were sold to help women keep up with this thin look. Finishing off the mod look was eyeliner and straightened hair.
