Wear Sunglasses so people will think youre stoned
Get Your head together
Youre into nature now. Grow a beard.
Love beads are a must. Shows you are sensitive
and antiestablishment.
Mexican vest is a good conversation piece. Gives
you a chance to talk about the great weed south
of the border
If youve got to wear a pullover shirt, it should
be dyed long underwear unbuttoned, tie-dye
whenever possible. Always preferable a work
shirt
Belt made of anything but leather is groovy. In
this case, it is extra groovy because the belt is
obviously not holding anything up.
Sew a secret stash pocket into the lining of the
vest.
Raggedy old fur vest. Nice touch
Tambourine. It shows youve got good vibes and
your really into music. Also good for panhandling
Everyone wears jeans. The trick is to keep
wearing the same pair until its worn out. Then
you can patch it. Use store-bought patches with
antiestablishment slogans.
Go barefoot whenever possible particularly where
its noticeable. Sandals are also acceptable
