1965—The Twiggy Cut
We obviously can’t talk about 1960s fashion and style without mentioning the ultimate supermodel of the era, Twiggy.
Twiggy was the undisputed face of 1960s fashion and embodied the simple chicness of the era, which came to be known as the quintessential mod style.
And Twiggy’s short, closely cropped hair became as much part of her identity as her giant eyelashes or her short, straight minidresses—a style still very much admired and emulated even today.
What a time to be alive.
1966—Pixie Cut
As the hairstyle evolution of the 60s continued to progress, we saw hairstyles becoming shorter and shorter, epitomizing the less-is-more overall vibe and the simplistic chic of the era.
And in 1966, we saw the most popular hairstyle become the pixie cut, modeled here by the inimitable Mia Farrow—star of the iconic and seminal horror movie Rosemary’s Baby.
Thanks to her acting skills and new and innovative style experimentations, Farrow would go on to make Hollywood history in both the film and fashion stakes.
