- [tps_title]1970’s[[/tps_title]
This decade was the most iconic fashion decade ever. Fashion trends changed so drastically in the 70’s. There was the hippie look, glamorous look, Hollywood look and what not. In the early 70’s, the hippie look continued, with tie-dyed t-shirts, bell-bottoms, headbands and sandals. Women wore accessories made out of shells and bog ornaments.
On the other hand many women carried on with the glamorous wear. This included dresses, blazers, peplums, evening gowns, etc. Women were judged on the basis of their sweaters. Bright pastel colors were really in fashion those days. This fragmented into more styles, such as sweater coats, sweater dresses (oooo I love those), floor length sweaters. Women used to accessorize their outfits by wearing pearl earrings, feathered jewellery, hats and what not. Boots became very popular during that time. Almost every kind of boot was sold.
By the mid 70’s, the hippie look completely disappeared. Casuals were preferred more. Women wore sweaters, t-shirts, kimonos, graphic t-shirts.
By the end of the 70’s decade, fashion became more relaxed and baggy. It became fashionable to show more skin. This resulted in shirts being unbuttoned, sleeves being rolled up and tops being strapless and sees through. Women’s fashions in the late 70’s included cowl-neck shirts and sweaters, pantsuits, tracksuits, sundress worn with tight t-shirts, strapless tops, crop tops, tube tops, embroidered vests and jeans, knee-length skirts. This continued into the 1980s.
