This paisley outfit
A lot of what people think characterized the 1970s comes from media created later. If you still doubt us, just think about Mad Men. The series defined the 1960s and 1970s style for a new generation. This outfit looks like something Megan Draper would wear.
Does anything scream the 1970s more than a matching, paisley two-piece? Yes, one with flared pants and a crop top. That said, this isn’t a still frame from Mad Men but an actual photo from the era.
