One of the toys that came out in the 1960’s was the easy bake oven. The idea came from mothers keeping their kids away
from the kitchen. As the 1960’s was still a time of oppression for woman this toy represents the placement of woman in
society. The idea of keeping a woman in the kitchen is implemented on young girls who are the target market for this toy.

The 60's brought forward a whole new world of fashion including many new and innovating hairstyles such as the mop-top
and the Flat top. the Mop top was popularised by the Beatles. It is a straight cut – collar-length at the back and over the ears
at the sides, with a straight fringe. The flat top was a modification of the buzz cut. It was a cut where the hair on the top of the
head was styled to stand up, not more than an inch) and cut flat. The haircut essentially made the head look like a square and

Men’s fashion changed in color and style. The idea of suits became big and these suits became modified. The collars became
longer along with bolder patterns. The colors became a lot brighter as the neutral colors were no longer the only choices. This
change in men’s fashion was heavily influenced by the Beatles as is fashion today. What celebrities where today becomes the
new thing in society.

Dresses
• A number of different dress styles commonly worn by women in the mid-'60s gave a nod to fashionable style while staying
with the appropriate conventions of housewife femininity. Knit polo dresses in deep and bright colors such as lime
green or bright yellow offered a convenient style to wear on a day-to-day basis.
Shirtwaist dresses were often worn,
beginning in the early '60s; they featured full gathers of fabric that cinched the waist and ended around mid-calf. By
1968, the shirtwaist dress was updated to offer a short hem above the knee and a wider belt to give definition to the

body.
Skirts
• Hemlines for skirts began to shorten in the mid-'60s, allowing the wearer to expose more leg. To accommodate the leg
exposure, pantyhose and tights became increasingly used as stockings did not adequately protect the wearer from
adverse weather elements.

While food was individually priced, the yearly food cost in the Sixties was $1681. The food prices essentially were priced
differently, being sold individually. This was due to the fresh and constant reproduction of food as preservatives, microwaves
