1970s in fashion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 1971 hotpants and bell-bottomed trousers were popular fashion trends

Fashion in the 1970s was about individuality. In the early 1970s, Vogue proclaimed "There are no rules in the fashion game now"[1] due to overproduction flooding the market with cheap synthetic clothing. Common items included mini skirts, bell-bottoms popularized by hippies, vintage clothing from the 1950s and earlier, and the androgynous glam rock and disco styles that introduced platform shoes, bright colors, glitter, and satin.[2]

New technologies brought advances in production through mass production, higher efficiency, generating higher standards and uniformity. Generally the most famous silhouette of the mid and late 1970s for both genders was that of tight on top and loose on bottom. The 1970s also saw the birth of the indifferent, anti-conformist casual chic approach to fashion, which consisted of sweaters, T-shirts, jeans and sneakers.[3] One notable fashion designer to emerge into the spotlight during this time was Diane von Fürstenberg, who popularized, among other things, the jersey "wrap dress".[4][5] von Fürstenberg's wrap dress design, which was among the most popular fashion styles of the 1970s, would also be credited as a symbol of women's liberation.[6][7] The French designer Yves Saint Laurent[8][9] and the American designer Halston both observed and embraced the changes that were happening in the society, especially the huge growth of women's rights[10] and the youth counterculture. They successfully adapted their design aesthetics to accommodate the changes that the market was aiming for.

Top fashion models in the 1970s were Lauren Hutton, Margaux Hemingway, Beverly Johnson, Gia Carangi, Janice Dickinson, Patti Hansen, Cheryl Tiegs, Jerry Hall, and Iman.

Women

Early 1970s (1970–1972)

Hippie Look

  • The 1970s began with a continuation of the hippie look from the 1960s, giving a distinct ethnic flavor.[11] Popular early 1970s fashions for women included Tie dye shirts, Mexican 'peasant' blouses,[12] folk-embroidered Hungarian blouses, ponchos, capes,[13] and military surplus clothing.[14] Bottom attire for women during this time included bell-bottoms, gauchos,[13][15] frayed jeans, midi skirts, and ankle-length maxi dresses. Hippie clothing during this time was made in extremely bright colors,[16] as well as Indian patterns, Native American patterns, and floral patterns.[17]
  • Women's hippie accessories of the early 1970s included chokers, dog collars, handcrafted neck ornaments, and accessories made from natural elements like wood, shells, stones, feathers, Indian beads and leather. All of these replaced standard jewelry.[13] Unisex hippie accessories included headbands, floppy hats, balumba balls, flowing scarves,[14] Birkenstocks,[18] earth shoes,[19] authentic beaded and fringed Native American buckskin moccasins, including knee-high boot versions, and sandals, including tire-soled versions and huaraches. The back-to-nature direction of the times meant that there was also a lot of going barefoot.

Glamour

By the early 1970s, miniskirts had reached an all-time popularity. This young English woman is wearing a fringed suede miniskirt, 1971.
  • Although the hippie look was widespread, it was not adopted by everyone. Many women still continued to dress up with more glamorous clothes, inspired by 1940s movie star glamour. Other women just adopted simple casual fashions, or combined new garments with carefully chosen secondhand or vintage clothing from the 1930s, 1950s and 1960s.[20]
  • Glamorous women's accessories of the early 1970s included cloche hats or turbans, pearl earrings, necklaces, bracelets, feather boas, black-veiled hats, clogs, wedgies, cork-soled platforms, and chunky high heels.[21][13] Golden chains, gold-button earrings and rhinestone clips started to become popular again in 1973 after several years of homemade jewelry.[22][13][23]

Other Early 70s Trends

  • More simple early 1970s trends for women included fitted blazers (coming in a multitude of fabrics along with wide lapels), long and short dresses, mini skirts, maxi evening gowns, hot pants (extremely brief, tight-fitting shorts) paired with skin-tight T-shirts,[16] his & hers outfits (matching outfits that were nearly identical to each other), and flared pants. Pastel colors were most commonly used for this style of clothing, such as mauve, peach, apple green, pink, yellow, white, wheat, camel, gray, and baby blue.[13] Rust, tangerine, copper, forest green, and pistachio became more popularized from 1973 onwards.[13] Sweaters were a huge phenomenon in the early 1970s, often outfits being judged entirely by the sweater. This fragmented into more styles, such as sweater coats, sweater dresses, floor-length sweaters, and even sweater suits. Many of them were trimmed with fur, especially faux. Chunky, shawl-collared, belted cardigans, often in brown and white, were also commonplace.[13] On the feet, platform shoes were widespread in a variety of styles,[24] including clog-like forms[25] and sandals, with relatively wide straps. The young paired these with colorful, often brightly striped knee-socks,[26] some with separate toes like gloves for the feet, called toe socks.[27]
  • In the early 1970s boots were at the height of their popularity, continuing onward from the mid-1960s. Women had boots for every occasion, with a wide variety of styles being sold in stores for affordable prices. Despite the wide variety, the most popular boots were Go-go boots, crinkle boots (boots with a shiny wet look that was wrinkled), stretch boots, and granny boots (1920s style lace-up boots that ended just below the knees).[28]

Casual looks

  • By 1974, the T-shirt was no longer considered underwear, and was by then made in elaborate designs such as slogans, sports teams, and other styles.[13] Around the same time the looser, more flowy shirts of the early 1970s had given way to fitted tops.
  • By the mid-1970s, the hippie look had completely disappeared, although casual looks continued.[29] In the mid-1970s women wore sweaters,[30] T-shirts, cardigans, kimono, graphic T-shirts and sweaters,[16] jeans, khakis, gauchos,[15] workmen's clothes, and vintage clothing.[13] A denim emphasis continued from the early seventies, particularly strong in 1973 to '75, with denim and denim-look fabrics of various intensities of indigo paired with blue jeans, usually flared, and denim skirts in below-knee lengths.[31] In 1975, the slim-legged jean style known as the cigarette-leg was introduced, a style that would dominate the end of the decade.[32] Around 1976, casual fashion adopted a Parisan peasant look. This included capes, turbans, puffy skirts and shirts with billowing sleeves.[13]
  • In the mid-1970s, accessories were generally not worn, adopting a minimalistic approach to fashion akin to that of the 1950s. The most commonly seen form of jewelry was a simple, thin, unobtrusive gold neckchain, sometimes in silver, worn under the collar against the skin by both men and women throughout the decade but becoming really ubiquitous starting in the mid-seventies. White pukka shell necklaces were also worn by both sexes. Small leather shoulder bags were worn by women everywhere, and popular shoes included Mary Janes, knee-high boots with rounded toes, including Dingo boots and Frye boots[33] (often with pants tucked in),[34] platform shoes and sandals, wedge-heeled espadrilles that often had long cords to wrap around the ankle,[35] Birkenstocks,[18] Famolares,[36] and loafers.[13][16] Despite the lack of accessories, the mood ring was a big fad in the mid-1970s.[37]

Active wear

  • Clean-cut, all-American active wear for women became increasingly popular from 1975 onwards. The biggest phenomenon of this trend was the jumpsuit, popular from 1975 onwards. Jumpsuits were almost always flared in the legs, and sleeves varied from being completely sleeveless to having extremely long bell-sleeves.[13] Other sportswear trends included tracksuits, tunic shirts, crop tops, tube tops, sweatshirts, hip-huggers,[38] low rise pants, and leisure suits.[13][16] This continued into the 1980s.
  • Accessories were less of an importance during this time, but two very desirable accessories included sneakers and tennis headbands.[16][38]

Tailored styles

  • As the divorce rate rose and the marriage rate declined in the mid-70s, women were forced to work in order to support the nuclear family. The progressive addition of women to the work force altered shopping styles and fashion. Working women shopped on weekends and in the evenings. Feminized men's business suits such as tailored jackets, midi-skirts, and fitted blouses were their go-to choice as to "dress for success."[39]

  • Starting in 1975, women's semi-formal wear became more tailored and sharp. This included a lot of layering, with women wearing two blouses at once, multiple sweaters, pants underneath tunic dresses, and jumpers worn over long, fitted dresses. The 1970s also featured some of the most scandalous dresses worn publicly in American history up to that point.[16] Other clothes worn in this style include suede coats, peacoats, blazers, cowl-neck sweaters, pencil skirts, backless dresses, extremely low-cut dresses, palazzo pants,[16] tube dresses,[13] evening gowns, jacket dresses,[17] and pinstriped pantsuits.[13][16] Women's dresses in the mid-1970s were dominated by pastel colors, but Asian patterns were also common.[17]
  • Accessories for the more formal styles included high-heels (both low and high, mostly thick-heeled), turbans, and leather shoulder bags.[16] Boots continued their popularity in the mid-1970s. This trend expanded to other styles, most notably the wedge heel (arguably the most popular women's shoe of the mid-1970s). Boots became rounder, chunkier, heavier, and thicker, and were more expensive than they were in the early 1970s. Popular boots of the mid-1970s included wedge boots, ankle boots, platform boots, and cowboy boots.[28] The A/W Haute Couture Collection "Opium Collection" by the French designer Yves Saint Laurent was inspired by the Chinese culture and history.

Disco look

  • The disco music genre spawned its own fashion craze in the mid- to late 1970s. Young people gathered in nightclubs dressed in new disco clothing that was designed to show off the body and shine under dance-floor lights. Disco fashion featured fancy clothes made from man-made materials. The most famous disco look for women was the jersey wrap dress, a knee-length dress with a cinched waist. It became an extremely popular item, as it flattered a number of different body types and sizes, and could be worn both to the office by day, and to nightclubs and discos by night.[40]
  • Disco fashion was generally inspired by clothing from the early 1960s. Disco clothes worn by women included tube tops, sequined halterneck shirts, blazers, spandex short shorts, loose pants, form-fitting spandex pants, maxi skirts and dresses with long thigh slits, jersey wrap dresses, and evening dresses.[17] Shoes ranged from knee-high boots to kitten heels, but the most commonly worn shoes were ones that had thick heels and were often made with transparent plastic.

The Big Look or Soft Look

  • The leading high-fashion trend of the mid-seventies,[41][42] extending from 1973 and 1974 through the first half of 1978, was known as the Big Look or Soft Look,[43] with big meaning voluminous.[44][45][46] This was a loosening and increase in scale of the popular, casual peasant styles of the late sixties and early seventies[47][48][49] and a reduction and elimination of internal structure like linings and padding to achieve what was known as an unconstructed look and feel.[50][51][52][53] Introduced by designer Kenzo Takada in 1973,[54][55][56] carried further by Karl Lagerfeld in 1974,[57][58][59] adapted for the US[60] by Geoffrey Beene shortly thereafter,[61][62] and endorsed in silhouette the same year by the most influential designer of the time, Yves Saint Laurent,[63][64][65] it came to influence everyone[66] from Calvin Klein[67][68] to Mary McFadden[69] to Givenchy[70] to Perry Ellis, who was probably the look's biggest US exponent.[71][72]
  • The Big Look relied on loose, billowy, oversized shapes;[73][74][75][76] comfortable, thin, gossamer-weight,[77] natural-fiber[78][79] fabrics like cotton gauze, crepe de chine, and challis,[80][81] often left naturally wrinkled;[82][83] a mostly neutral or earthtone,[84] forest-tone, or wine-tone color palette, with prints small, muted, and often floral;[85][86] layering;[87][88][89] drawstrings,[90][91][92][93] wrapping/tying,[94] and rope-cords[95] as opposed to hardware like buttons, zippers, and belts;[96] capes, serapes, and shawls[97] more than structured coats;[98][99][100][101][102] oversized, unlined jackets and vests;[103][104][105] extensive use of hoods[106][107] and cowlnecks;[108][109] full sleeve cuts like raglan, dolman, batwing, and bishop;[110][111] big, rustic-textured sweaters;[112][113] blouson tops;[114][115][116] full, often ruffled blouses cut so large that they slid off the shoulder;[117][118][119][120] camisoles;[121] smock tops and smock dresses;[122][123][124] bubble dresses or bag dresses;[125] tent dresses;[126][127][128] full sundresses;[129][130] and mostly longer lengths in skirts, high-fashion versions generally ranging from mid-calf to ankle,[131][132] though mini-tunics and mini-blousons were also part of the picture.[133][134][135][136][137] Occasional slits or slashes allowed for some show of leg amid all the billowing fabric.[138] Skirts were almost entirely dirndls,[139][140][141] with tiered or flounced versions called gypsy skirts or peasant skirts particularly popular.[142][143][144] Skirts were also sometimes layered, with, say, a white underskirt beneath a hiked-up, floral-print top skirt.[145][146][147][148] Pant shapes varied from full dungarees[149] to full culottes[150] and gauchos[151] to full shorts called paper bag shorts, but most were tapered from full, pleated or drawstring-closed waists to narrow ankles,[152] a style called "pegged" at the time,[153] sometimes cut too long so they bunched up at the ankle.[154][155] Dhotis, zouaves, and harem pants were also frequently shown.[156][157][158] Comfort and ease were watchwords during this period,[159][160][161] reflected in the Big Look's ubiquitous rolled-up sleeves.[162][163][164]
  • Accessories worn with the Big Look were minimal,[165][166] things like unobtrusive hemp-cord necklaces maybe strung with a very few earthy-looking beads,[167][168] stickpins to hold layers of shawls together,[169][170] and tasseled fiber cords worn instead of belts, the ends dangling over tunic hems and layers of skirts.[171] When actual belts were worn, they tended to be in leather, narrow, and sometimes long enough to be double-wrapped.[172] On the legs, you might find more of the kind of layering seen above, called the "layered leg": thick, warm tights, socks, stockings, and legwarmers in substantial knits in earthy colors for fall/winter,[173][174][175][176] and perhaps white anklets and occasionally even layered cotton socks worn in spring/summer, even with sandals.[177][178][179] Footwear was almost entirely either very bare sandals;[180][181][182][183] rope-soled, canvas espadrilles, often wrapping around the ankle;[184][185][186] or very full-shafted boots known as baggy boots or Cossack boots,[187][188][189][33] usually knee-high but in a range of heights from ankle to thigh,[190][191][192] with the fullness intended to bunch up in horizontal wrinkles at the ankle for what was referred to as a "crushed" look.[193] Heels, often stacked during this period,[194] could be any height from flat to high, the shape ranging from wedges to blocks to more tapered, but never stilettos.[195][196] Makeup and hairstyles tended to be natural-looking,[197][198][199] though smoky blush was common.[200] Hair combs and flowers tucked into the hair were widespread,[201][202] but headwear was minimal, consisting mostly of the occasional squishy beret or knit cap worn during winter[203][204][205][206] and a brief vogue for tilted straw boaters in early 1978.[207]
  • Though the thin fabrics,[208][209] sliding-off-the-body volume, spaghetti straps, occasional straplessness,[210] and slits/slashes in skirts and tops could reveal the body to some extent,[211] the voluminous shapes and multiple layers of the Big Look resulted in some calling it shapeless, droopy, and rumpled.[212][213][214][215][216] Others pointed out the impracticality of flyaway capes and shawls[217][218][219] and considered the extensive fabric required for these styles extravagant.[220][221] Nonetheless, its comfort and ease did suit women's lives[222][223][224][225] and its rejection of man-focused coquetry reflected the powerful feminist influence in society at the time[226][227][228] and resulted in the look dominating high fashion for several years[229][230] and also influencing popular tastes, as it seemed an outgrowth of the moves toward natural fibers[231][232] and comfort that were already widespread in society.[233][234][235]

Late 1970s (1977–1979)

Relaxed look

  • In 1977, mass-market fashion became more baggy as the Big Look that had been dominant in high fashion since 1974 filtered down to the public. This caused much controversy, as women with trim figures bemoaned not being able to flaunt them while heavier women complained the looser clothes made them look even larger. To make up for this, it became fashionable to show more skin. This resulted in shirts being unbuttoned, sleeves being rolled up, and tops being strapless, transparent, and lacy. Shiny satin and gold colors were also used to make up for the lack of tighter clothing. By 1977, pants were only flared slightly and sometimes not flared at all.[16]
  • Women's fashions in the late 1970s included cowl-neck shirts and sweaters, pantsuits, leisure suits, tracksuits,[13] sundresses worn with tight T-shirts,[12] strapless tops, lower-cut shirts, cardigans,[16] velour shirts, tunics, robes, crop tops, tube tops, embroidered vests and jeans, knee-length skirts,[17] loose satin pants,[13] designer jeans,[236] culottes, daisy dukes, and tennis shorts.[16] This continued into the 1980s.
  • Accessories included scarves, gold jewelry, flowers, ankle boots, 1940s style hats (often tilted), skinny and wide belts, boas, braceleted gloves, spike-heeled sandals, mules, ankle-strapped shoes, waist cinchers, and obi wraps. Color had almost completely faded from fashion in the late 1970s, with earthy tones like browns, light blues, tans, grays, whites, and blacks making a comeback.[13][16]
  • The frenzy for boots had cooled down by the late 1970s, but they remained popular, especially in the winter. They became less flamboyant by that point in time, and they mostly came in black, brown, or burgundy. The most popular boots were either knee-high or reached the mid-calf, and were made in leather, suede, urethane, or rubber. The toes were rounded, and zippers were on the side. The heels were usually only 2–4 inches, and the heels were sometimes even flat. Women continued to wear wedge heels and ankle boots, as well as knee-high boots with thick kitten heels.[28]
  • In Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran, many liberal women wore short skirts,[237][238] flower printed hippie dresses, flared trousers,[239] and went out in public without the hijab. This changed following the military dictatorship in Pakistan, the mujahideen government in Afghanistan, and Iranian revolution of 1979, when traditional conservative attire including the abaya, jilbab and niqab made a comeback.[240][241][242]

One-piece swimsuits

  • In 1977, American actress Farrah Fawcett popularized the one-piece swimsuit which in turn launched the trend for the maillot. This was, when it resurged in the 1970s, a sexy, tight swimsuit, with deep neckline and high-cut legs, worn by young women and girls in lieu of the bikini, although it did not entirely replace the latter. This continued into the 1980s.

The Pantsuit

  • By the late 1970s the pantsuit had become acceptable business wear for executive women. This was due to the success of Yves Saint Laurent's "Le smoking" tuxedo with silk lapels designed to allow any ash falling from cigarettes to slide off, keeping the jacket clean.[243] Business Insider pointed out that wearing the pantsuit was more of a political statement than a fashion one. "So, dressing in a YSL trouser suit declared the wearer was irreverent, daring, and on the cutting edge of fashion, whilst suggesting their alignment with burgeoning feminist politics – le smoking effectively demanded: 'If men can wear this, why can't I?'" With the increase of women entering the workface, they were in search for a new symbol that proved they were as serious and powerful as the men they shared elevators with. The only solution to convince male-dominated workspaces was to copy their tailored suits. The jacket could be either short and shapely or long and lean.
  • Movies like Annie Hall fought gender ideals by portraying a woman who wore men's clothing on the daily basis. This movie took a big inspiration from the decade and because of its success, continues to influence fashion. Skirts, when worn, were often knee-length and could possibly have a front or side slit that put a subtle emphasis on the legs. To offset the more traditionally masculine look of "business suit style", women like Margot Kidder in Superman experimented with hats, high heels, ruffles that peaked out from the jacket and large jewelry to keep a confident, yet feminine, look intact.[244]

Designer Jeans

"Baggies" (Baggy Jeans)

  • From 1979 to 1981, a popular style was jeans with a high-ish waist and full cut through the hips and thighs that tapered to a narrow but not tight hem hitting at the ankle or just above, called "baggies."[254][255][256] They were paired in the fall with rustic-looking sweaters with shoulders fashionably widened via single, top-of-the-sleeve tucks or pleats called "dimples" by their creator Perry Ellis,[257] and the shoes worn with them were often high-vamped pumps with low cone heels inspired by Maud Frizon,[258] jazz oxfords,[259] or flat, lace-up ankle boots.

Shoulder Pads

  • Styles became curvier for Fall of 1978, with shoulder pads,[260] tighter skirts, and narrower waistlines.[261][262][263] The silhouette that resulted was an inverted triangle.[264][265][266] This change did not arise from women's demands, nor from what women on the street were wearing, the way miniskirts,[267][268][269][270] jeans,[271][272] pants,[273][274][275] hippie clothing,[276][277] office blazers,[278] and more comfortable undergarments[279][280][281] had in the 1960s and earlier '70s.[282][283][284] Though decades later it would be claimed that the big shoulders of this period were part of an attempt by women to assert a "power" look as they worked their way up career ladders, big-shoulder looks did not come about because women were wanting to look more powerful for the boardroom; women already had appropriate but comfortable blazers for that.[285] Big-shoulder looks didn't come from women on the street at all. The hugely shoulder-padded look came solely from designers,[286][287] who united in showing the look in Fall 1978,[288] a few presenting shoulders literally three feet wide,[289][290][291] and there was strong resistance.[292][293][294] Since the clothes were less comfortable and more restrictive than the clothes of the '70s[295][296] and resembled too much the man-focused styles of the 1940s and '50s,[297][298][299] this shoulder-padded look was initially a hard sell to the public,[300][301][302][303] but some designers, notably Perry Ellis,[304] Norma Kamali,[305] Calvin Klein,[306] and Giorgio Armani,[307] made it more appealing by keeping it comfortably wearable and just adding reasonably-proportioned shoulder pads to slightly slimmed-down versions of the easy clothes women had been wearing during the decade,[308] and this approach was positively received by the general public.[309][310][311][312] So many designers continued to present really huge shoulders into the eighties, however,[313][314] that women were left with little option but to conform to it, which they did,[315] so much so that big shoulder pads became common in and characteristic of the 1980s,[316] seen on everyone from political leaders to actors in TV shows like Dynasty to your coworkers and family. At the end of the seventies, though, in 1978 and '79, much of the public still considered it strange,[317][318][319] though they had gotten the message that it was to be the new look.[320][321]
  • Footwear worn with these styles initially, in 1978, continued the very bare, high-heeled sandal that had been popular throughout the mid-seventies, now with a slightly higher heel[322] and in more dressed-up materials and colors like black and metallics. These often had ankle straps and the heel fell straight down in the back rather than being underslung. In 1979, the higher-vamped, vaguely 1950s-looking pump that would characterize the eighties would appear, often in bright colors and marked by the underslung cone heels introduced by Maud Frizon.[323] Open-toed pumps were a particular focus in 1979.[324] After dominating fashion since the early 1960s, knee-high boots were no longer in with designers,[325] replaced by boots that rose no higher than mid-calf and usually didn't rise above the ankle, resembling the demi-boots of the 1950s and barely distinguishable from the new high-vamp pumps.[326][327]

  • For the first time in decades, there was a significant shortage of raw materials and fabrics, including synthetics like vinyl and nylon. As a result, everyday designers kept things simple.[13] The early 1970s were a continuation of late 1960s hippie fashion. For men this particularly meant bell bottom jeans, tie dye shirts, and military surplus clothing.[14] Other early 1970s clothes for men included tweed sports jackets, khaki chinos, chunky sweaters in cream, dark green, beige and sky blue, storm coats, tartan jackets, peacoats, flannel shirts, pleated pants, baseball jackets,[13] corduroy pants, crocheted waistcoats, striped pullover sweaters and sweater vests, tassels, belted cardigans,[333] and hip-huggers.[38]
  • The most popular accessories of the early 1970s for men were homemade, with necklaces, headbands, and bracelets being made from all-natural materials such as wood, hemp, flowers, leather, shells, stones, and Indian beads.[13] Unisex hippie accessories included headbands, floppy hats, and flowing scarves.[14] Men's footwear in the early 1970s included flip-flops, oxfords, Birkenstocks,[18] platform shoes,[334] earth shoes,[19] and cowboy boots.[333]

  • Fashion in the mid-1970s was generally informal and laid back for men in America. Most men simply wore jeans, sweaters, and T-shirts, which by then were being made with more elaborate designs. Men continued to wear flannel, and the leisure suit became increasingly popular from 1975 onwards, often worn with gold medallions and oxford shoes. Vintage clothing, khaki chinos, workmen's clothes, sweatshirts, leather coats, and all-denim outfits were also desired among young men.[13] Other trends include printed shirts, zip-up cardigans, western shirts marketed to capitalise on the nostalgia for 1950s fashion, Birkenstocks,[18] mood rings,[37] and raincoats.[333] Many of the printed shirts worn from circa 1972 to 1975 were in a silky nylon with a slightly glossy finish called Qiana,[347] made in button-front styles with medium-wide collars and in a variety of prints – photographic prints, artwork prints, etc.[348] Decades later, these Qiana shirts would be referred to as "disco shirts," but they were not called that at the time, as they were worn almost everywhere. They accompanied both casual styles like jeans and corduroys and dressier slacks and leisure suits, usually tieless and with the top couple of buttons left open.
  • Around 1975, American suits started to resemble the slimmer European suit. This new model, named the quasi-European suit, featured padded shoulders, higher arm holes, a smaller waist, open patch pockets, and a small flare to the pants and jacket.[13] In 1976, it became fashionable for men to wear velvet tuxedo jackets with more casual pants to formal events, and vests came back into vogue. It was this year that men's pants started to feature smaller flares or no flares at all.[13] This continued into the 1980s.
  • In Brezhnev's Russia, used Western clothing, especially sheepskin coats and flared trousers, became readily available due to the détente.[349] Previously, jeans had to be imported on the black market.[350] Politburo members continued to wear the black, grey or brown suits and fur lined overcoats of the 1960s, with grey Astrakhan caps.[351]

The High-Fashion Soft Look

  • The Big Look/Soft Look that was high fashion in womenswear from 1973 to 1978 also extended to menswear,[352][353][354][355][356] spearheaded by Giorgio Armani in 1976, who followed womenswear's lead and eliminated the lining and padding from his men's jackets, suits, and trousers, cutting them in natural fibers with enough ease that sleeves and even trouser hems could be easily rolled or pushed up and collars could be turned up.[357] Collars, lapels, and ties were narrow,[358][359] the tie, when worn, often not pulled up high but knotted low to allow for an easy, open neck.[360] Trousers were straight-legged, sometimes even tapered, and often with soft pleats.[361][362] Band-collared shirts were often worn with the look. This style remained dominant in high-fashion menswear through 1978[363][364] and then menswear again followed womenswear's lead and adopted the new big-shoulder looks for 1979. The Soft Look's pushed-up jacket sleeves and turned-up collars, though, would continue into the 1980s in bigger-shouldered, more colorful form.

Late 1970s (1977–1979)

Flared jeans and trousers were popular with both sexes as can be seen at this East German disco party in 1977. In the socialist part of Germany (until 1990), the government regarded western influences on cultural life of their population very critical, but factually tolerated them in many fields.

Sportswear

  • By the late 1970s, most men and women were wearing sports clothing as everyday apparel. This was primarily based on tracksuits, jumpsuits, velour or terry cloth shirts (often striped and low-cut),[13] sweaters, cardigans, sweatshirts, puffer vests,[333] flare jeans,[13] straight-leg jeans, and collared shirts, both long sleeve and short sleeve. Around this time it also became fashionable for men to leave their shirts untucked.[333] This continued into the 1980s. During the late '70s, long and popped collars became a staple part of men's fashion.
  • Late 1970s accessories included low-top sneakers, tennis headbands,[333] puka shell necklaces, and wristbands.

Disco style

  • From 1977 to 1979, menswear became affected by the disco style. Men began to wear three-piece suits (which became available in a variety of colours including powder blue, beige, white as worn by John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, brown polyester, and shiny silver sharkskin) which were characterized by wide lapels, wide-legged or flared trousers, and high-rise waistcoats (US vests).[365] Influenced by the popularity of aviator sunglasses in disco, many wore glasses in the shape of aviators but with clear prescription lenses.[366] Neckties became wider and bolder, and shirt collars became long and pointed.[367]

Big Shoulders

  • Starting with a few designers in 1978[368][369] and becoming the main trend in 1979, high-fashion menswear designers at the end of the seventies adopted the big shoulder pads that had debuted in womenswear in 1978,[370] showing exaggeratedly padded shoulders that tapered to low closures[371][372] at narrow, often ventless hips[373][374] in jackets[375] and suits, along with trousers that were straight-legged or tapered to narrow ankles. Jackets were also sometimes presented short and boxy like spencers or bellhop jackets.[376] Unlike in womenswear, the exaggerated shoulders didn't appear in shirts but only in jackets and coats, with avant-garde designers like Thierry Mugler also presenting an occasional retro-futuristic (like something from 1950s sci-fi), outer space-looking jumpsuit with big shoulders, often marked with trapunto stitching, a style seen only on the most avant-garde. Lapels and ties for these new jacket styles were initially mostly narrow, said to help emphasize the increased shoulder width,[377] but the most influential menswear designer of the time, Giorgio Armani, relatively quickly widened his lapels and ties – not as wide as in the early seventies, though, more like the 1940s.[378][379] As the 1970s became the 1980s, both narrow and wider 1940s-width lapels and ties could be seen simultaneously. In 1979, though, these big-shouldered styles were just starting to be seen and wouldn't yet be common except among the avant-garde.

Punks

  • Punk rock was a musical genre that greatly influenced fashion in the late 1970s. A great deal of punk fashion from the 1970s was based on the designs of Vivienne Westwood and her partner Malcolm McLaren, McLaren opened a stall at the back of vintage American clothing store, which taken over 430 King's Road and called it 'Let it Rock'. By 1974, 430 had renamed the store, which became famous as 'SEX'. McLaren described SEX as 'a haven phenomenon known as punk rock.'[402] Punk emerged in London, and spread into the United States. A complex amalgam of various stylistic influences, Punk had its roots in the streets of London and the music scene of New York.[402] Street punk fashion generally consisted of ripped clothes, black turtlenecks, drainpipe jeans, tight leather pants, leather jackets (often embellished with chains, spikes, studs, and paint), jackets and shirts with taboo images or messages, dog collars, safety pins, kilts, and Doc Martens.[403] A tamer, less threatening version of the Punk style called "New Wave", which featured jagged hems on clothing and more elaborate embroidery went mainstream in the early 1980s.[404]

1970s beauty trends

Women's hairstyles

In the 1970s, women's hair was usually worn long with a centre parting

Throughout much of the decade, women and teenage girls wore their hair long, with a centre or side parting, which was a style carried over from the late 1960s. Other hairstyles of the early to mid-1970s included the wavy "gypsy" cut, the layered shag, and the "flicked" style, popularly referred to as "wings", in which the hair was flicked into resembling small wings at the temples. This look was popularised by the stars of the television series Charlie's Angels. Blonde-streaked or "frosted" hair was also popular. In 1977, punk singer Debbie Harry of Blondie sparked a new trend with her shoulder-length, dyed platinum blonde hair worn with a long fringe (bangs).

In the 1970s, making one of the popular hairstyles for a woman didn't take a lot of time. These hairstyles, including Afro hairstyle, Shaggy Hairdo and Feathered hair (then known as "Farrah Fawcett hairstyle") were said to be perfect when you're on-the-go and would still keep your expressive style in-check.[405] For black people in the United States and elsewhere, the afro was worn by both sexes throughout the decade. As the Afro entered the mainstream, Afro-enhancing products and Afro wigs emerged in the African-American beauty industry.[406] These wigs were created and advertised as a bolder look that could conveniently be removed and put on for a night out.[406] For Black women, it became a staple in disco, with disco divas like Diana Ross and Gloria Gaynor adopting it in the 1970s. Afros were also occasionally sported by Whites, especially Jewish Americans[407] as an alternative to the uniform long, straight hair which was a fashion mainstay until the arrival of punk and the "disco look" when hair became shorter and centre partings were no longer the mode.

The most iconic women's hairstyle of the 1970s is arguably the Farrah Fawcett hairstyle. Popularized in 1976, the hairstyle was heavily imitated by many American women and girls. It incorporated waves, curls, and layers. The style mostly worn with bangs, but could also be worn with a side part. To make it even more stylish, women and girls would frost their hair with blonde streaks.[408]

Men's hairstyles

Continuing on from the 1960s, the ducktail and Pompadour hairstyle (then known as the "Elvis Presley hairstyle") were popular among young Italian-American and Mexican-American men in big cities like New York. Large quantities of grease or brylcreem was normally used to keep the hair in place. The early and mid 1970s generally featured longer hair on men, as way of rebelling against the social norms of years past.[409] Sideburns were also worn around the same time. Some of the most popular hairstyles for men include "Long and Luscious" hairstyle, mod haircut, and the "buzzcut" hairstyle popularised by action heroes like Steve McQueen. In the late 1970s, men went for the chop, ranging from crew cuts, to buzz cuts, to a shag. This was mainly done for an athletic look, and sideburns and facial hair went out of style.

Makeup and cosmetics

Cosmetics in the 1970s reflected the contradictory roles ascribed for the modern woman.[410] For the first time since 1900, make-up was chosen situationally, rather than in response to monolithic trends.[410] The era's two primary visions were the daytime "natural look" presented by American designers and Cosmopolitan magazine, and the evening aesthetic of sexualized glamour presented by European designers and fashion photographers.[410] In the periphery, punk and glam were also influential. The struggling cosmetics industry attempted to make a comeback, using new marketing and manufacturing practices.
