How would you describe the economy in the US during this decade?

Since the vietnam war had just ended it left america with many problems to fix. Some problems were , the energy shortage,high inflation and unemployment. High inflation happened because there was high demand for some products so the prices went up. The unemployment was because of the women work force (women began working and not being stay at home moms). Also, soldiers from the vietnam war came back and they needed jobs. There was more people in the workforce for limited jobs.  Since most people had cars, everyone needed oil. America was getting oil from places around the world and the supply eventually ran low leaving an oil shortage which led to the energy crisis.

10. Platform Shoes:

Platform shoes, particularly the trend of wearing outlandish styles, were popular fashion trends on the disco scene among men and women. It helped that they easily matched the outrageous threads of the era from bell bottom pants to jumpsuits. Made from wood, cork and plastic, platform shoes were decked out in all sorts of glitzy colors, materials and shapes so anyone could find a trendy pair for any occasion. The public religiously followed the glam rock styles of celebrities like David Bowie. Nowadays, fans are stunned by the insanely high platform shoes worn by Lady Gaga.

9. Jumpsuits:

In the list of ladies fashion accessories, jumpsuits possessed a unique place. Surprisingly, they were based on jumpsuits shown on popular science fiction TV series and movies. Night-out jumpsuits were tailored out of silky fabrics in bright colors and print, and were adorned with eye-catching embellishments. The cut and style was limited, and often focused on tightness. For daywear, jumpsuits were made of denim, cotton and stretch fabric, with comparatively less show. Industry performers from music to movies wore jumpsuits just as present day celebrities like Jennifer Lopez are bringing back the fashion trend redesigned into newer cuts, shapes and colors.

8. Tie Dyed:

One of the most iconic fashion trends that persists till date, but it began among the so-called "Flower Children" before its popularity grew across the country. It was particularly due to celebrity approval, artists such as Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker and Jimi Hendrix performed in tie dyed attire for their concerts. During the 1970s, people created their tie dyed shirts at home in bright, colorful designs without any patterns or print. They were worn with bell bottom pants and possibly a matching tie dyed headband.

7. Floppy Hats:

Floppy hats were a fashion essential in the 70s; women tended to have colorful hats which matched their special dresses. These hats were made out of felt and decorated around an earth theme such as flowers, vines, but some women preferred simple ribbon bows. Presently, the floppy hat has been reintroduced in a contemporary vibe to be sold in popular stores like Urban Outfitters. Completely redesigned in trendy materials, shapes, colors and different themes, often paired with chic clothing especially on the runway.

6. Wrap Dresses:

Diane Von Furstenberg created this daywear dress that was both comfortable and feminine. Its release coincided with 1970s women's interest in relaxed and stylish garments. Also popular because it flattered all body types and was functional in work and relaxed settings. It was soon seen as a symbol of female empowerment and Diane signified the dress with her support of the movement. Present day wrap dresses both set and follow the latest fashion trends, in addition to proving versatility in wear.

5. Tops:

Crop tops, halter tops and tank tops were frequently touted as trendy. Their style was exaggerated with diamantes and rhinestones or sometimes, enhanced with gold lamé. The tops were matched with hot pants, stone-washed denim, bell bottoms and the other in-fashion pants. Women also styled their outfits around pussy bow blouses and pleasant blouses which had attractive prints like floral and paisley.

4. Chevron Stripes:

Another famous 70s fashion trend; women everywhere wore the colorful, arresting pattern on their clothes. Its popularity was mainly due to the Missoni brand that released many signature designs in the zig-zag striped pattern. Cheaper alternatives of the outfits were created and the trend of multi-colored chevron stripes entered the mainstream. Found often on midi and maxi dresses, the pattern was great for slimming down certain unflattering aspect of the body. Others bought it for its tribal inspired appeal. The present trend includes all kinds of clothing and accessories marked with an updated version of the chevron pattern.

3. Hot Pants:

These very short pants took the country by storm, becoming a regular sight in disco clubs, on the streets and the runways of Paris and Rome. The popularity of the fad compelled some companies like Southwest Airlines to incorporate them into their company uniform. James Brown wrote a song about the hot pants and there was even a recipe for the mixed Hot Pants cocktail. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis showed off her figure in them while yachting. Hot pants are considered the epitome of cultural, social and industrial advancement of the 1970s. Today's women revel in the sexy power of the hot pants just as their 1970s counterparts did - just ask Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus.

2. Bell Bottoms:

Initially was popular with the hippies as it represented the relaxed, easy-going atmosphere of the era. Soon, it grew in popularity to become a mainstream fashion trend, in demand by both men and women. Men preferred to match polyester bell bottoms with suit jackets while women showed off high-waisted bell bottoms. Celebrities in the limelight like Farrah Fawcett and the musical group, Sonny and Cher were seen in bellbottoms. The trend has returned with celebrities like Ashley Tisdale and Hillary Duff strutting in mode bell bottoms.

1. Maxi Dress:

It was an apt dress for the neo-feminist movement and hippie culture that took over the 1970s. With focus on themes such as nature, goddesses and folkloric fashion trends for the maxi dress' designs, women bought dresses made of natural materials and had a feminine print. Particularly, 30s-inspired prints like floral, gingham and paisley plus lace trim and psychedelic patterns were popular. The movie "Dr. Zhivago" contributed to the dresses rising popularity. In its resurgence this date, maxi dresses in bright colors, trendy styles and expressive prints are flaunted by celebrities.
