Fun Photos Showing the ‘60s Weren’t All Strait Laced
During the 1960s, social and political changes influenced the transformation of young people, who defied conventions and possessed a free spirit that sought to break with strict norms.
The following images show what daily life was like during that era, with clothing in natural colors, long socks, and one-piece swimsuits.
Here you can see young people enjoying parties, couples riding motorcycles, young people trying to create music, and young people playing sports.
The cameras of the '60s show people posing spontaneously and enjoying genuine and relaxed moments, with joy as the common denominator, and happy people having fun.
