Fashion in the 1970's began with a continuation of the mini skirts,bell-bottom pants and the hippie look from the late 1960s, Within a very short time the decade exploded with fashion trends of it's own.
EARLY TO MID 1970'S
Ladies had a choice of skirt lengths in the early 70's. The Mini Skirt from the late 60's was joined by a mid-calf length skirt called Midis & an ankle length skirt called Maxis.
Long vests (waistcoats) were often worn with mini-skirts. Jeans waistlines lowered to 4 inches or even less as "hip huggers" with "bell-bottoms" became the height of denim fashion. Altering the appearance of jeans with bleach and tie-dye techniques, embroidery, decorative patches, and metal studs was popular.
In 1971, Hot-Pants were extremely popular among teens & young women.
Beginning in 1972, women wore high-waisted, flared satin trousers or denims, the latter usually decorated with rhinestones, tight lurex halter tops, metallic-colored lamé and antique velvet dresses, satin hot pants, sequined bra tops, This trend continued until 1974. A short, imitation rabbit-fur jacket was a hot fashion item during this period. For teenage girls and young women the crop-top was often worn, sometimes with a halter neck or else tied in a knot above the midriff.
By the mid-1970s hip-huggers were gone, replaced by the high-waisted jeans and trousers with wide, flared legs. These lasted until the end of the decade.
LATE 1970'S
With the popularization of disco and the increasing availability and diversity of man-made fabric. All styles of clothing were affected by the disco style. The zippered jumpsuit was popular with both men and women, and clothing inspired by modern dance (wrap-around skirts and dresses of rayon or jersey) also became common.
Skin-tight Spandex trousers, tube tops, and slit skirts were popular for a while at the very end of the decade. Silk blouses, spaghetti-strap tank tops and shirt-waist dresses were also worn.
With the demise of disco late in 1979, these styles which were by then being criticized as flamboyant quickly went out of fashion.
