Fashion is a sophisticated maelstrom of trends, eras, ideas and memories. Let’s get to the bottom of this by looking at the timeless 1970s.
In the 70s, the nature of modern fashion has changed significantly. A single fashion trend no longer prevailed, each group of people chose the style that matched their aesthetic tastes. Walking the block on any major city street, you’ll see women wearing tight tie-dyed T-shirts and hip-hugging jeans, long chintz dresses, black floral-print dresses, maxi coats, and micro skirts.
Style 70’s key features
The seventies of the last century can be described as a time of creative madness. At this time, layering came into fashion, and girls began to learn how to combine separate elements of the closet, based on the texture and color of items.
What was worn in the ’70s
Short shirt dresses, sweater dresses, low-waisted dresses, and tunic dresses were still fashionable styles in the early ’70s. A full range of colors was in use. White was especially popular for everything from dresses to hats to handbags and shoes.
The first half of the 1970s was characterized by tight, close-fitting silhouettes. Pants and skirts were very fashionable to wear with fitted shirts of the most incredible bright colors. Throughout the decade the pants changed width regularly. From time to time was fashionable bell-bottoms, which started from the knee, hip level, super-flared along the entire length, and only in the late 70’s are popular slim pants.
For a while, the mini length was the prevailing street style. Short trench coats and coats, skirts, dresses, and shorts were worn with high boots with zippers, a super trendy platform, and sandals in the Greek style with high laces.
Denim fashion runs through the ’70s, offering a wide variety of “timeless clothes” – flared, tight, and colored. Denim was used not just for jeans, but for practically everything. Jeans were no longer associated with the clothing of cowboys and farmers, they became quite respectable clothes, which in the 1970s everyone wore.
