Backcombed Hair – Pattie’s was most commonly spotted with her hair worn down, cut just below the shoulders and backcombed at the crown of the head for extra volume. Towards the late sixties she grew out her hair, but this is the hair style most associated with her.

Turtlenecks – Pattie sometimes opted for a beatnik look and wore a black turtleneck. She made it her own style by adding cute little bunches.

A Signature Piece- Pattie’s signature piece was a little silver butterfly clip. On many of her outfits, you can spot a butterfly accessory that’s been used to either add something to the outfit or to make low-cut tops a little higher.

Knee High Socks – Pattie was pictured a few times wearing these same knee high socks with white stripes. They’re perfect ito wear in England’s chilly weather when you’re bored with tights.

Floppy Hats – Pattie wore a lot of hats and her most frequent hat was a huge floppy. She wore them mostly when she was in the airport or on holiday. Remember holidays Doll?

Patterned Dresses. Pattie was the queen of wearing patterned dresses. In the early sixties, she started out with simple patterns like this one above. But during the last sixties her dresses became more floaty and psychedelic.
