Was there a more influential decade for clothes than the 1970s? From the breezy, effortless dresses worn by the hippie youth to the glitzy glamour of disco, there was something for everyone. Have you seen the teenagers showing off their wide-leg trousers on Tik Tok? It was also a significant era for black fashion. Natural hairstyles became accepted, African-American designers like Stephen Burrows made clothes that shone on every dancefloor, and icons such as Diana Ross and Donna Summer graced the cover of every magazine. Here is a list of some of the 70’s most representative outfits!
A two-piece with a 1960s silhouette
During the decade’s first half, 1960s styles still had a tight grip on every runway. Still, things were changing, as evidenced by the fact that this outfit from Pierre Cardin’s 1970 fashion show in Berlin was not a dress but a miniskirt and top combo.
The silhouette might be full 1960s, but the shoes and that bared midriff had 1970s written all over them. Those accessories are amazing! They’re the type you find in grandma’s jewelry box and keep for yourself to wear on a night out.
