Label Text:Mod style evolved into hippie fashion by the late 1960s. Suits were replaced by colorful separates in “feminine” materials, such as the bright, plush velvets of these patchwork trousers. The gender-neutral qualities of the hippie style were subject to criticism for making it difficult to distinguish between men and women.
