Question 2

Why did hippies dress the way they did?

Accepted Answer

Hippies dressed the way they did to rebel against the conformity of the mainstream culture that developed during the 1950s and early 1960s. Their loose, flowing garments often crossed previously well-defined gender lines and contrasted sharply with the tailored suits and dresses worn by their parents. The fashion trends of the counterculture aligned with the hippies' activism, such as their protests against government policies regarding the Vietnam War, racial segregation, women's rights and other social and political issues.

On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of wedding rings.

Question 15

What is the best way to organize kitchen cupboards?

Accepted Answer

The best way to organize kitchen cupboards is by keeping in mind how you will use the contents. When you take a look at the items inside the cabinet, think about how frequently you use each item. Store the items you use most often in easy to reach locations — the front of the cabinet is best for an everyday item, or perhaps in canisters on the counter. The back of the cupboard, or higher shelves, should be reserved for items that you use less frequently. Shop a range of antique and vintage kitchen cupboards on 1stDibs.
