<span style="background-color: #650a8f; color: #24ebff; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 240%;">Trends of the 70's:

Micro, Mini, or Maxi? The 1970's were when women truly decided how they wanted to dress. They had many options and styles to choose from. There were halter neck dresses, halter neck catsuits, maxi dresses, short dresses, and hot pants. Hot pants were often worn in opposition of mini dresses, calling them too revealing and inappropriate. Global Influence New fashion and fads were coming in from around the world as travel became easier. This meant more and more people brought their ideas to the United States, especially in terms of fashion. Hippy Styles New fashion from places such as India and Africa were making their way around the world. One specific example was the kaftan. This is a long, loose dress worn by women in the Middle East. This could be dressed up or down, depending on the fabric. Trousers This type of pant was extremely popular in the 70's. Slowly, it flared more and more until it reached bell bottom status, about 5 years later. They then became narrow by end of the decade. Farrah Fawcett modeled this trend and helped it's popularity grow. Platforms These shoes are clunky and tall. At the height of their popularity, they were about 4 inches tall. However, it was most common for women and men to wear about 2 inch tall platforms. Fabrics Used Disco Dances And Styles This new dance was popping up everywhere, and so were many disco clubs. The fashion was often stretch clothes that reflected under the bright lights. There was a lot of spandex and hot pants, which was often required to get into the disco clubs. It was completely acceptable for night-time partying, but never the day time.
 * 1) Courtelle- jersey material used for everything from pants to dresses.
 * 2) Cotton- used on many things and for people who loathed heavy fabrics; often used for tie-dying.
 * 3) Viscose Rayon- used for printed blouses.

Rock music was starting to branch off with hard rock like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Rush and King Crimson included elements of classical music in their rock music and Clash had reggae-infused punk music. The 70's also brought the start to the disco-era Donna Summer, the Village People, and the Bee Gees' song Saturday Night Fever. Jazz fusion emerged with the addition of electric guitars and rock sounds to traditional jazz songs. Rapper's Delight by the Sugarhill Gang began the transformation of funk to modern day hip hip.
