70s Fashion Today

clothing ,The 1970s were a time when color played a huge role in fashion. The use of bright colors gave simple styles a bold look. Those colors included yellow, orange, pink, red, purple, green, and blue. These colors were used by almost every fashion group, and allowed both ladies and gents to stand out from the crowd.

Women’s wear

The 1970s saw a variety of clothing trends. One of the most popular was the halter top. It was a popular summertime piece, usually made of stretchy fabric, and had an elastic waistband. The trend was made popular by television shows like The Brady Bunch, which premiered on September 29, 1969. The character Carol Brady often wore a light purple pantsuit. She often wore a faux-button vest over the top, and paired her outfit with chunky heeled sandals.

Other clothing trends of the 70s included sportswear and leisure wear. These were popular in conservative and fashion-forward workplaces alike. The era also saw a resurgence in Western wear, which led to many different trends.

Swimwear

If you want to channel your inner 70s fashionista, you can choose a retro-style swimsuit. You can rock a neo disco punk look by choosing a one-piece in an unorthodox color combination. The 70s were known for their eclectic mix of lace, fringe, and cashmere prints, and you can find updated versions of these swimsuits online.

Swimwear styles that were popular during the 70s include the string bikini, which were popularized by the supermodels of Sports Illustrated. This style of swimwear became incredibly popular and was sold in mass-market stores. The 70s also marked the beginning of the casual chic approach to fashion. The 70s saw the emergence of designer brands and a renewed interest in women’s rights. American designers such as Halston and Yves Saint Laurent also embraced the counterculture of the youth.

Miniskirts

The miniskirt was first made famous during the 1960s by the legendary British designer Mary Quant. It became the ‘it’ thing to wear in the ’60s and ’70s, and several designers became famous for creating them. Mary Quant is widely considered the inventor of the miniskirt, which has made its return to fashion today.

The mid-seventies miniskirts were usually just above the knee. They were never widely adopted by the general public, however, and were only worn by fashion-forward women.

Trouser suits

The 70s saw a resurgence of the trousers suit in women’s fashion. The boxy silhouette with monochromatic hues was an easy way to look put-together. This decade also saw the rise of the statement trousers. Wide-leg pants and oversized silhouettes made for a chic street look.

Trouser suits can be worn in summertime, too. They can be fun and flashy for a disco or sporty and casual. They were often made of a poly knit fabric that hugs the body. I remember my mom wearing a paisley-print romper with a matching belt. She also wore a denim romper.

Printed polyester blouses

This style harkens back to the style of the 70s. The psychedelic prints and the organic flower child look of the decade were popular in 70s fashion, and the fabrics used were overwhelmingly polyester. Subtle drug-related motifs were often added to prints, as well.

These blouses have a similar look and feel to the classic 70s styles. During the 70s, collars were often oversized. The trend was also prevalent in women’s jackets. Printed polyester blouses often featured oversized collars, and many of the jackets were button-up.
