Men and women alike were wearing very tight fitting pants and platform shoes. By 1973, most women were wearing high cut boots and low cut pants.

Early 1970s fashion was a fun era. It culminated some of the best elements of the 60s and perfected and/or exaggerated them. Some of the best clothing produced in the 1970s perfectly blended the mods with the hippies.

Just when it seemed pants couldn’t flare any more (bell bottoms, anyone?), the flare was almost gone. By the late 1970s the pant suit, leisure suit and track suit was what the average person was sporting. Every woman had a cowl neck sweater in her closet and every man had a few striped v-neck velour shirts.

Tunics, culottes and robes were also very popular. Sometimes it’s hard to tell which dresses were meant to be worn at home, and which ones were for a night on the town.

This outfit would have been heartily laughed at just ten years before.Men’s clothing got tighter and tighter. A large portion of the clothes from this era were made of polyester or a blend of cotton and polyester. Later in the decade, velour and terry cloth became a very popular choice of fabric for men’s shirts. https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236866777 2018-03-01 12:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236866777 Clothing https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236866970 The 1970s were basically like the late 60s and early 80s in terms of fashion. It changed dramatically throughout the decade, but there are a lot of good costume pieces to be had:

  • Bell bottoms
  • Tight t-shirts - Think That '70s Show: you would always see Kelso and Fez in super-tight shirts with flared pants.
  • Platform shoes - Like, 2 inches or more.
  • Revealing dresses - Disco dresses often featured open backs and plunging necklines.
  • Suits - Suits, everywhere! Pants suits, jumpsuits, track suits, you name it.
  • Flower power - Still rocking those super bright patterns in this decade.
Hair and makeup was pretty diverse. On one side, there were the feminists who opted for the natural look. On the other side, there was disco: The bigger, brighter, and flashier, the better!

In 1975 there were caftans and the Chinese look with short quilted jackets. In 1976 the Middle Eastern look dominated, with tunics over harem pants, and, later, the layered look. A master of the folklore mixture was the Japanese designer Kenzo (Takada), whose Parisian boutique "Jungle Jap," had a decided influence. Mainstream fashion, on the other hand, was rather conservative, featuring the umbrella-pleated (or gored) skirt, which came to just below the knee. https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236870195 2018-03-01 13:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236870195 Insiders met at Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren's shop on King's Road, called "Sex" in 1974 and then, later, "Seditionaries" in 1978. https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236870938 2018-03-01 13:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236870938 https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236871320 2018-03-01 13:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236871320 https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236871716

With women entering the workforce more than ever before, pantsuits and daywear with a masculine edge were popularized among youth. Women also wore skirts in a variety of lengths, often opting for tight-fitting mini skirts for everyday wear. Popularized in the late 1960s, hot pants, tight-fitting shorts with an inseam length of 2-3 inches, became a fashion go-to for young women during the first half of the 1970s. https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236872451 2018-03-01 13:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236872451 https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236872474 2018-03-01 13:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236872474 https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236872581

Becoming a wardrobe staple in the 1970s, blue jeans were worn by men, women, and children across the country, coming in a variety of different styles. The popularity of bell-bottoms continued and today, the style has become representative of the decade. Women often opted for ankle-length maxi skirts and dresses with long slits on the sides that reached the thigh. Bold patterns were popular among both genders along with sports jackets, chunky sweaters, and pleated pants. https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236872878 2018-03-01 13:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236872878 https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236873220

But unlike the in the 1960s, Americans in the 1970s took a step back from political movements, choosing instead to focus on themselves. Many have referred to this shift as a “return to normalcy”, giving the 1970s its nickname as the “Me” Decade. https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236873266 2018-03-01 13:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236873266 https://padlet.com/mclark58/6opfc6o3flf1/wish/236873321
