CLOTHES FROM THE 1970'S - 2009

The clothes that are coming out now days are the same ones that was wore in 1970.Such as high waist jeans and legging's. Clothes are way more expensive now days then in 1970. There are so many different clothing, some are name brand and non name brand. Seventies clothing holds its own special place in American culture. Ranging from late 60's hippie looks to the eye popping styles of the disco era, **70's** were not designed to be ignored. The decade of the 1970s began as a carryover of late '60s fashion. The hippie influence was still very present. Shirts of tie dye and worn jeans were the look of the day. Hip huggers and bell bottom jeans were popular and were likely to be customized and decorated by the person wearing them. Donning patches and using a variety of bleaching and tie dying techniques was popular. Jean jackets of the day were often stylized by their owners with a variety of patches carrying whatever message the wearer felt like sharing.Disco looks began in the 1970s and was memorable for its hot pants look and Spandex tops. Shiny clinging Lycra stretch disco pants in hot strident shiny colours with stretch sequin bandeau tops were often adaptations of professional modern dance wear that found itself making an impact in discos as disco dancing became serious. Gold lame, leopard skin and stretch halter jumpsuits and white clothes that glowed in Ultra Violet lights capture the 70s Disco fashion perfectly. In the 70s Crimplene was superseded by a less bulky version of polyester called Trevira. Trevira was used to make wide Bay City Roller trousers with wide square pockets down the leg sides and which were probably the inspiration of today's combat trousers.Clothes now days are so much cuter than in 1970,but some of them are made out of the same material but you cant even tell. macdonald, fiona. __high-styles clothes through history__. north american ed.. milwaukee,wis: gareth stevens, 2007.
