'The late 1960s produced a style categorized of people who promoted sexual liberation and favored a type of politics reflecting \"peace, love and freedom\". Ponchos, moccasins, love beads, peace signs, medallion necklaces, chain belts, polka dot-printed fabrics, and long, puffed \"bubble\" sleeves were additional trends in the late 1960s.  Both men and women wore frayed bell-bottomed jeans, tie-dyed shirts, workshirts, Jesus sandals, and headbands. Women would often go barefoot, and some went braless. The idea of multiculturalism also became very popular; a lot of style inspiration was drawn from traditional clothing in Nepal, India, Bali, Morocco and African countries. Because inspiration was being drawn from all over the world, there was increasing separation of style; though clothing pieces often had similar elements and created similar silhouettes, there was no real \"uniform\".  Fringed buck-skin vests, flowing caftans, the \"lounging\" or \"hostess\" pajamas. These consisted of a tunic top over floor-length culottes, and were usually made of polyester or chiffon.  Long maxi coats, often belted and lined in sheepskin, appeared at the close of the decade. Animal prints were also popular for women in the autumn and winter of 1969. Women\'s shirts often had transparent sleeves. Psychedelic prints, hemp and the look of \"Woodstock\" came about in this generation.'
