Children’s fashion clothing has changed over the years. Fashionable children’s clothing reflects what is fashionable in adult clothing at the time. There have been many changes in the styles of fashionable children’s clothing.

Fashionable children’s clothing in the 1960s included very short dresses on boys until they reached high school. Little girls wore dresses that barely covered their underwear during these years. Today, most girls wear dresses that come down to their knees.

Young boys wore denim jeans and white T-shirts during the 1960s. The bottom of the pants had to be rolled up to create a hem and the T-shirt had to be white with a round neckline. They usually wore black canvas tennis shoes and black belts with this ensemble. Even though they were wearing T-shirts, they tucked the shirt into their pants so that the belt could be seen.

In the 60s, girls wore black and white oxford shoes as shoes. They also wore Mary Jane style shoes that had a strap that reached over the arch of the foot and fastened at the side. They were black shoes in the fall and winter months of the year and white shoes in the spring and summer months of the year.

In the 70s most children did not change their style of dress much even though the hippie look was becoming popular. It was not popular for young boys to wear flared jeans or tie-dyed shirts. The girls’ dresses were kept short and they wore matching bloomers under the dresses so that their undergarments were not visible.

Until the 1980s all girls wore tank tops and underwear under all outfits. These shirts were the first camisoles that girls wore and were designed to avoid showing their skin when their shirts were thin.

The 80s was a time when most girls ditched dresses entirely. They wore brightly colored pants, leg warmers, shirts that were too large, and a wide variety of footwear. Tight leggings and oversized shirts were all the rage, and almost every girl tried to make her hair stand out as much as possible. They teased the hair, sprayed it with hairspray, and held it in place with headbands in wild colors. Satin jackets were very fashionable as were very short shorts.

Fashionable children’s clothing from the 60s, 70s and 80s is what kids wear today for Halloween costumes.
