For women, the Hippie look of the 1960s carried over to the early ’70s. Popular styles included bell bottom pants, frayed jeans, midi skirts, maxi dresses, tie-dye, peasant blouses, and ponchos. Some accessories that will help pull together your early ’70s Hippie outfits are chokers, headbands, scarves, and jewelry made of wood, stones, feathers, and beads.
By the mid-1970s, the Hippie look fell out of fashion, making way for a more casual everyday style. Fitted t-shirts rose in popularity, with elaborate designs, slogans, and sports logos.
Disco took over fashion for everyone in the mid-late ’70s.
Disco styles for women included jersey wrap dresses, tube tops, sequined shirts, spandex shorts, and high slit skirts with boots or chunky heels.
Generally, women’s fashion in the late ‘70s became more relaxed. Clothes became baggier and more revealing and often resulted in an inverted triangle silhouette. These amazing photos captured women posing with vintage cars in the 1970s.
