i know what you’re thinking… are these more fashion snaps from coachella? no indeed! these are high school fashions in 1969 photographed by arthur shatz for life magazine.
that’s not entirely true. people ironed their hair (on ironing boards, even) and many of the beauty products were even more caustic then than now, kids just didn’t use them then. Yes high schoolers ARE kids. I just think it has to do with how long we have been exposed as a society,high schoolers growing up too fast and our nutrition (lack their of)….
Far out fashions, regardless.
That’s because we didn’t shampoo all the goodness out of it every day and then destroy it with heat. I shampooed my hair twice a week at the most back then. Now I’m 61, and I STILL have thick, shiny hair.
Wow these are really incredible! Most schools back then seemed to have had such a strict dress code, I feel like it’s rare to see outfits like these in a school setting which makes it all the more interesting. Maybe this was like their version of a casual Friday or something?? So groovy heheh.
I don’t recall very much in the way of a lot of strict dress codes in most public schools with which I was familiar. Are you of that era? What town did you live in?
No strict dress codes when I was in high school in a small lil town on northern Cali. The shorter the minis, the better, and big ol’ bellbottoms, peace, love, and happiness, lol. I grew up a hundred or so miles north of San Francisco, in the 60’s and 70’s, had a whole lot of fun then, and was always “dressed to the nines”
These are fantastic. The clothes are so voluminous! They look so modern, apart from their expressions – they seem much less self aware than some of the lacklustre Coachella pictures I’ve seen.
These pictures are beautiful. Ive looked at them at least ten times. I’m going to have to keep all my clothing for my children because fashion most def does come full circle. Thanks for sharing
wow! these are so great. i wish people still dressed with a bit more.. class. even those these are all dressed down kind of outfits, no one wears anything nice anymore! my mom has some really cool pics hanging outside her high school (and the one i went to) from almost a decade after this in 1978, still really cool people all hanging out on the grass.
These are awesome! So colourful, and, er, is it just me or does it look like the girl in the black and white gingham is being hit on by a pervy older teacher?
Groovy……….I graduated in 1969 and these photos brought back good memories of things we used to wear………the clothes were just more fun and wholesome looking (asisde from mico minis) and the hair…………..not dyed and not chopped off………left long and thick and parted down the middle, note too, the lips on the girls…….there appears to be no lipstick, but indeed there was, it was specifically flesh colored, I remember it well, we tried to make out lips NOT stand out! What a funny thing to do LOL. They should post some pictures of the early 70’s too, in 1970 “hot pants” came out………I remember walking around EMU campus in knee high patent boots, long dark hair and the ridiculous tiny little boxer short looking things called hot pants! Not a care in the world! Bring out Inagoddadavida baby, it’s time to be cool. From Lauren’s Mom
Wow, these photos are just fantastic. I love being able to look back on the world and see what it use to look like, as if time stands still right in those photos. Love it!
These are the most beautiful fashion photos I’ve seen all month. That was many years before my birth, but I have a distinct feeling that 1969 was straight up MAGIC.
This is the most inspiring thing I’ve seen all day. Way. Too. Cool. In the drama department at my school we’re performing “Up the Down Staircase,” also set in the late 60’s. I’d love to do crazy fashion like these!
Look at the colour! No black to be seen! Makes me want to go home and make kermit green flares and candy pink minidresses. Sigh…I was born in the wrong era…
Wow! I remember those fashions! But we were not allowed to wear them to school. I lived in a conservative area. In 1971 I was a member of the committee that petitioned the school board to allow us girls to wear pants to school. That is right: girls could only wear skirts. And we had a teacher who would measure the hemlines to insure that they were only two inches above the knee. We had a major victory. We could wear dressy pants suits but absolutely no jeans.
i graduated in 1972 i remember in the winter walking to school with leggings on under my dress because it was so cold out and then having to take them off when getting to school because we were not allowed to wear pants to school until things changed and then we could and also one day i wore a jumper and it was measured it was more than the allowed 2 inches above the knee and i was sent home and i remember my mother having to bring the hem down a little. i had these green bell bottoms that were soo big i think they were called them elephant pants. i am glad i grew up in that era.
Um, I was in high school during that time and we were not allowed to wear skirts that short. The vice principal would line us up while we stood upright on our knees, and line up a ruler. Any girl wearing a skirt >4″ above the ground was sent home to change. Public school Anaheim, CA.
actually in the 60’s there was still some segregation, so it is plausible to say that this school was still segregated. It is also possible that even though it technically wasn’t segregated, the area they lived in was. You have to remember racism was a long lasting issue for the majority and still butts its ugly head into lives today-from both sides.
It’s funny, when you think about it. 90% Of these so-called “hipsters” wear things exactly like this today. It’s quite awesome how styles like these are coming back, and are extremely popular, especially among high school students of today. And, it’s even funnier to think about how three, or so years ago, kids in high school would thing clothes like those are boring. Hmm. Shows what we know!
I have a bunch of my mom’s amazing clothes that she wore in the late 60’s in high school that I wore again in high school and college. I also have a huge collection of amazing patterned tights and thigh highs that a friend bought for me in London a few years ago. A lot of this stuff is coming back around-definitely check out Etsy!

I luv this! Oh yeah, I was so cool , my hair half way to my waist, straight and parted down the middle. I strutted around school in fashion preppy clothes. I did’nt see my fav things of all, a villager purse, villager belt or weejuns!
1969 was a great time to be young and I was fortunate enough to take part in the first Camp America programme for UK students and graduates to become camp counsellors at American Summer Camps. I ended up at Camp Sequoia in the Catskills. It was an amazing experience. To visit New York, and later Washington and also to go into small town America in upstate New York (Monticello) was a pleasure and quite extraordinary. I met many super people and experienced American hospitality at its best. My only reget was to return to the UK and find that I had been so close to Woodstock and missed it
Thanks for sharing. I just graduated from high school, and it makes me green with envy that I couldn’t have lived in this groovy period of time. Everyone looks so natural, colorful, and unafraid. I’ve always wondered if the photo quality is what people actually saw… it being more faded and smoggy looking. The times seem so much more bland now.
I ironed my hair, used Prell, used oil of olay, (on the hair to smooth it down) and rocked these outfits with the best of em. I graduated high school in 1969
Blimey! They DO look healthier! Wonder if we could get a similar craze started again! Whats more – they people actually look happier and seem to be having a lot of fun!
The third to last photo in this collection was taken in front of Denver East High School! I attended East and graduated in 2008! Absolutely amazing to see something like this! Very cool!
Some of the clothes they wore back in that time era were co cute compared to some of the clothes we wear in this day. I always thought the bell bottom jeans and vest were neat.
indeed very nice and remarkable pictures…some clothes they wore back in that time era were co cute compared to some of the clothes we wear in our really crazy days…
Very Nice Collection of Pictures from 40s . Retro Looks are rare now a days and its interesting to see those looks and think about past ages. lovely posting and would love to see more of it .

The only thing different for me was we DID NOT get to wear shorts, or slacks to school. Our hemlines had to be longer than mini too, ours had to touch the floor if we were kneeling. Or no shorter than the tips of our fingers when standing.
1969 was my graduating class. I saw baby doll dresses, Roman sandals, hip hugger bell bottom pants …lots of memories….I was transported!
Another thing that makes these smack of being taken much later on….the hair is all wrong. Where are all the big fat lacquered hair do’s??? Girls rarely wore jeans and they were not allowed at school. Boys didn’t were many jeans either….it was wheat pants and cords.
I graduated high school in 1969 in SC. These fashions didn’t reach us until the next year, but the short skirts were so daring. Thank goodness pantyhose had recently become available!
I love the way styles keep repeating themselves. The colorful wide legged pants also called Palazzo are popular again, hats are always in style in my opinion and how much fun are those colorful tights!? Love! That’s the year I was born so its fun to see what was trending back then. Thanks for sharing :-)
Awesome Collections!!! Sabrina Silver also have excellent huge collection of jewelry for women, men and babies even though we wish to add this in our list at http://www.sabrinasilver.com.
My era – but how we would have loved to dress like this at school! In my english (girls only!) High School it was school uniform right to the age of 18 and yes, we too had to kneel on the floor to have our skirts measured. Modern women seem to have lost the ability to wear colours, my daughters wear nothing but black and neutrals which makes me despair. I protest and persist with my colourful ways – if I can’t find it I make it myself – and above all I never buy grey which is not a colour but a manifestation of depression! I am much encouraged by the comments this post has provoked – maybe oneday I’ll have colourful granddaughters?
i started high school in 1969. Fantastic time. Note no backpacks. We carried books in our arms! First year we were able to wear pants to school but my parents did not allow for another year. Skirts and knee socks w loafers!
Awesome! I would have rocked the mini dresses w/ patterned tights or the red corduroy pants + v-neck. Super cute!
hah, I did rock all those mini dresses, lol
woah! people should still dress like this
people do dress like this.
Yes they do, San Francisco for example. Cool.
hair envy! everyone has such thick, shiny hair back then!
people today can too. just dont dump so many chemicals in it, then burn it with a straightener, hairdryer, or surling iron.
that’s not entirely true. people ironed their hair (on ironing boards, even) and many of the beauty products were even more caustic then than now, kids just didn’t use them then. Yes high schoolers ARE kids. I just think it has to do with how long we have been exposed as a society,high schoolers growing up too fast and our nutrition (lack their of)….
Far out fashions, regardless.
Amem, with ask the hair dyes and creep girls put in there hair, it is surprising they still have hair
That’s not true.. I saw a whole lot of girls with really thin hair. And some with not-that-shiny hair.
That’s because we didn’t shampoo all the goodness out of it every day and then destroy it with heat. I shampooed my hair twice a week at the most back then. Now I’m 61, and I STILL have thick, shiny hair.
These are great! Loving those crazy tights and all the knee socks!
This post made me happy!
This is my favourite old age!
those tights are awesome!
Unbelievable!! they all look stunning!
Wow these are really incredible! Most schools back then seemed to have had such a strict dress code, I feel like it’s rare to see outfits like these in a school setting which makes it all the more interesting. Maybe this was like their version of a casual Friday or something?? So groovy heheh.
I don’t recall very much in the way of a lot of strict dress codes in most public schools with which I was familiar. Are you of that era? What town did you live in?
I think it was in the late 60s they said girls could wear pants instead of a dress. New Bedford Mass.
No strict dress codes when I was in high school in a small lil town on northern Cali. The shorter the minis, the better, and big ol’ bellbottoms, peace, love, and happiness, lol. I grew up a hundred or so miles north of San Francisco, in the 60’s and 70’s, had a whole lot of fun then, and was always “dressed to the nines”
Oh wow, dream wardrobe all over this post. Man, you find the best stuff. <3
These are fantastic. The clothes are so voluminous! They look so modern, apart from their expressions – they seem much less self aware than some of the lacklustre Coachella pictures I’ve seen.
This is brilliant. I love this!!
i looove the girl in the red bell bottom cords! and those wild, crazy patterned tights! this is awesome.
Those leggings, my word. I definitely need to get searching the Life archives.
These are perfect!
These pictures are beautiful. Ive looked at them at least ten times. I’m going to have to keep all my clothing for my children because fashion most def does come full circle. Thanks for sharing
Yeah…
Given the chance, I’d probably wear those tights.
“more fashion snaps from coachella” lol!
sigh… i’ve long wished i lived in the sixties…
Wow! It’s funny how so many of these trends are popping back up! I am glued to these pictures.
I was almost in high school in 1969 and I had those wacky tights and several of the shoes and sandals shown in the photos–thanks for the great trip!
Wow, how wonderful! The Life Archives are such an amazing source of inspiration.
wow! these are so great. i wish people still dressed with a bit more.. class. even those these are all dressed down kind of outfits, no one wears anything nice anymore! my mom has some really cool pics hanging outside her high school (and the one i went to) from almost a decade after this in 1978, still really cool people all hanging out on the grass.
1969 was the year my mom graduated high school and her photos look JUST like this. i sent this post to her and she said it was spot on, of course!
hey you…….i did not say that! the pics are good, liked them. thanks
These are awesome! So colourful, and, er, is it just me or does it look like the girl in the black and white gingham is being hit on by a pervy older teacher?
hahaha, i thought the same.
Dream post!
I would have loved to be a teenager back then … the clothes, the music, the atmosphere, the festivals ….
Groovy……….I graduated in 1969 and these photos brought back good memories of things we used to wear………the clothes were just more fun and wholesome looking (asisde from mico minis) and the hair…………..not dyed and not chopped off………left long and thick and parted down the middle, note too, the lips on the girls…….there appears to be no lipstick, but indeed there was, it was specifically flesh colored, I remember it well, we tried to make out lips NOT stand out!

i love vintage colour film.

Em
I love the colours!
These are amazing, kinda wish I lived then.
if only me and the kids in my grade were so cool!
these are great
OMG!! thanks for sharing this!!!!!
those mini dresses are to die for!
super cool post! thanks for sharing this!
Wow. Great post! I’d love to see more if you can find it!
http://sistergoldenair.blogspot.com/
WOW loved them all – really wish we still dressed like this now :) the hair, the flow, the colours… love it all. x
http://krisandleona.blogspot.com/
crazy that we are, of course, still wearing some of these styles today.
Look at the colour! No black to be seen! Makes me want to go home and make kermit green flares and candy pink minidresses. Sigh…I was born in the wrong era…
My Mom graduated in 1970. I had the good fortune to inherit a few pairs of unopened tights like the ones pictured above.
I loved them to death. My friends didn’t know what hit them.
Love it!
Coachella look’s is not so amazing like that.
Wow! I remember those fashions! But we were not allowed to wear them to school. I lived in a conservative area. In 1971 I was a member of the committee that petitioned the school board to allow us girls to wear pants to school. That is right: girls could only wear skirts.

I LOVE the first two! i would totally rock those looks
Cool! Love the colored socks :)
I still cant imagine myself wearing one of these.
AGHH Life: to think all of these beautiful ladies are either old as fuck or dead
at least they got immortalized in these pictures,cool…
i wold still wear most of these outfits… they are awesome!!!! :)
…i have many of these outfits…and i actually wear them…scary…
As you, too, will be one day, and you’ll find its better than being a teenager!
everyone has such thick, shiny hair back then!, i love this
The big difference? Very few heavy people. Not to criticise, just to observe.
Um, I was in high school during that time and we were not allowed to wear skirts that short. The vice principal would line us up while we stood upright on our knees, and line up a ruler. Any girl wearing a skirt >4″ above the ground was sent home to change. Public school Anaheim, CA.
These may be college. They look older, too.
I’m pretty sure white people weren’t the only ones who went to high school. -________________-

the 60’s 70’s …fashion is just inspirational for me .! the dash ..!
Notice how much better people look before they all became obese?
The third to last picture is at my current high school. Hasn’t changed a bit.
Some of this is actually stylish but mostly it’s I’ll fitting ugly clothing with tassels
looks like what the kids in my highschool are starting to wear :P
Wonderful shots. One thing I noticed is the complete absence of logos, brand names and labeling. Everything looks so pure and simple.
It’s funny, when you think about it. 90% Of these so-called “hipsters” wear things exactly like this today.

cool fantastic old fashion!
These outfits are so pretty. I wouldn’t definitely wear some of them.
Also notice the lack of overweight and obese kids in these pictures.
I notice that the girls back then had much smaller chests than today. What is this a product of? Steroids in our food? Love the outfits though!
I luv this! Oh yeah, I was so cool , my hair half way to my waist, straight and parted down the middle. I strutted around school in fashion preppy clothes. I did’nt see my fav things of all, a villager purse, villager belt or weejuns!

I’m from portland. This is how half my high school dressed and I love it.
They look a little older than high schoolers
These people try way to hard to look hip.
Love all the outfits. Seems so out there but in a good way.
Aren’t these just hipsters?
I seriously feel like I was born in the wrong era, I’d love to have been a teenager/young adult in the 60s.
Great history… miss my hight school life so much :(
The girl in the second picture looks just like Lindsay Lohan!
I ironed my hair, used Prell, used oil of olay, (on the hair to smooth it down) and rocked these outfits with the best of em. I graduated high school in 1969
It’s so cute how all the styles are coming back! I’m in love with the beaded vest and the skirt with the gladiator sandals!
beyond cuteee
such beautiful pictures!!! and some of the girls hair looks”now”. wow-wish id lived back then
Kids of flowers!! Great times in the world history, and not very much differs of todays fashion, we just should add more colores
That was really great and perfect !!
Where i can buy those clothes???
Wow, what amazing fashion, and all from the year I was born. Loving those patterned tights.
I graduated in 1969 and these pictures are amazing!! Thanks many times over for sharing.
From the pictures, nothing has really changed compared to today.
Fashion is often recycled.

Retro style loving its………OLD is Gold ANY WHERE ANY TIME….

Blimey! They DO look healthier! Wonder if we could get a similar craze started again! Whats more – they people actually look happier and seem to be having a lot of fun!
Old is gold i liked the photos , girls are looking beautiful.
The third to last photo in this collection was taken in front of Denver East High School! I attended East and graduated in 2008! Absolutely amazing to see something like this! Very cool!
Some of the clothes they wore back in that time era were co cute compared to some of the clothes we wear in this day. I always thought the bell bottom jeans and vest were neat.
indeed very nice and remarkable pictures…some clothes they wore back in that time era were co cute compared to some of the clothes we wear in our really crazy days…
these are some super cool pictures! i swear I am such a hippie baby http://everywherenigeria.com

Interesting. Loved the small lookbook.

Clearly i was born in the wrong era… I’d wear everything! & I wear most of it now anyways
Simply amazing, I just love the colors, the flowy pant and loose top.
MUAAH – Super sexy
Me encanta! Son geniales estas fotos. Este tipo de look me gusta mucho, adaptándolo a nuestros días pueden estar muy actuales.
I love the way styles keep repeating themselves. The colorful wide legged pants also called Palazzo are popular again, hats are always in style in my opinion and how much fun are those colorful tights!? Love!

beautiful collection that should appear that look again, I love the colors
Love this retro take on fashion from the 60’s, we carry very retro clothes!!
mabelandzora.com
These old fashion design are still live at some places.
This is so cool! I occasionally rummage through my mothers clothes from the 70’s to find some unique pieces
Loving the knee socks and all the printed tights,unique fashion!!!

nice…loving these
I totally love the two first pic look. These remind me of my mom’s old photographs & she had the long black hair as well.
I love the first one! Cute cute cute! :)
Vintage ♥_♥ Hahahaha I’m so happy it all comes back eventually!
i started high school in 1969. Fantastic time. Note no backpacks. We carried books in our arms! First year we were able to wear pants to school but my parents did not allow for another year. Skirts and knee socks w loafers!
