Between the Cuban Missile Crisis, going to the Moon, and the start of the Vietnam War draft, things got serious in the 1960s. People started expressing themselves through fashion - like in swinging London, while maintaining more buttoned up attitudes. (Publicly at least.)
Featuring big hair and big personality, the '60s' aesthetic was unmistakable. Here are 20 photos that scream the 1960s.
