1970s

When I think of the 1970s, I always think of the television show "That 70s Show." And all the stereotypes about hippies and wanting peace as the Vietnam War went on.

Bell- Bottom pants became big with men and women alike. High waisted shorts, skirts, and pants became a really big thing with women in the 70s. Tie Died shirts and Mexican peasent blouses became a huge thing from the late 60s to the early 70s for women to wear. And for the first time maxi dresses and skirts were introduced.

As the decade came closer to an end, discos and nightclubs became a huge fad. With these discos, came the go-go boots. Usually the boots were made out of a plastic- leather, came in very many different colors, and had a good size heel. Women would wear these boots with their high waisted skirts and a blouse. These boots would became one of the biggest items people associated with 70s fashion. 

Bright colors, whether a shirt, pants, or shoes became very common in wardrobes. Television shows started to popularize very bright colors, like hot pink, yellow, and orange. Men started wearing the "Three-Piece Suits" which consisted of pants, a button up shirt, with the "Wide Color" popularized by the first lady Pat Nixon, and a matching vest.  

Towards the end of the 1970s band t-shirts started to become popular, starting with the iconic Rolling Stones shirts. Men started wearing band shirts and rock and roll was getting bigger and bigger and would lead into the 80s fashion.
