To me these were the halcyon days. My parents were still alive. Breast cancer wouldn’t have taken my baby sister. We were still so innocent. It was a lovely, special time. Thanks for taking me back
girls wear short shorts nowadays too
I had gauchos, patchwork jeans, a (girl's) blue satin baseball jacket, wedge sandals, dittos, etc. I don't care for seeing some of current pictures of vintage fashion, mixed in these videos though, women never had tattoos on their arms in the 70s. I'm sure there are enough photos and clips available from the era.
Thanks for sharing your amazing ’70s wardrobe lineup-gauchos, patchwork jeans, dittos, and a satin baseball jacket? That’s peak era style! I hear you on the photos, though. Mixing modern takes on vintage fashion can sometimes feel out of place, especially when certain details like tattoos don’t match the era’s vibe. I’ll make sure to dig deeper for authentic images and clips from the time to keep the nostalgia as true as possible. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback!
Hated the GACHOS and the knickerbockers and my mom thought they were great. I destroyed many pair by sitting on the cement steps and rubbing my bum back and forth to wear the material. I loved the clogs and hip huggers and neon in the early 80’s. Let me tell you the high school halls were really loud between periods because of all the clogs. I made a Jean skirt out of a pair of my elephant leg jeans. 😂
That’s peak DIY brilliance. Thanks for sharing such a fun snapshot of the era! 😂
Eeerm can I add the photos don’t match the voice over description 😂 on some things
Haha, fair enough! I’ll own that one-sometimes the photos don’t quite match the voiceover. I’m working on tightening that up for future videos so everything lines up better. Thanks for pointing it out (and for laughing along)!
Never wore anything crocheted, knitted yes. Wore hot pants……a lot wide collars , huge bell bottoms, platform sandals, floor length skirts , wonderful days
You had such a stylish mix of classic ’70s pieces! Definitely wonderful days-thanks for sharing!
Clogs were a lot of fun. In summer, I wouldn't go out without them..😃..I used love the sound they made when walking on cobblestones on the streets of Europe where I grew up.
Clogs really were the perfect summer staple! Thanks for sharing such a charming memory! 😃
had hot pants, tight boots, clogs and wedgies, halterneck dress and huge trousers. My mum refused to be a sheepskin coat, expensive. Memories I want to forget.
What a lineup of iconic ’70s pieces! Total statement pieces. Thanks for sharing, even the ones you'd rather forget!
Loved! I don't remember knickerbockers, but I was born in 1964, so I may have been too young if they were popular in the early decade. I NEVER stopped wearing clogs, although as I've aged, the heels and souls have gotten lower to the ground. Gravity and all that. Man, happy memories!
What a fun walk down memory lane! Happy memories indeed-thanks for sharing!
I miss some of these things. Everything was quality made as well. So well some things still around. if remade in these times they'd be so cheaply made and over priced like everything else. haha they are selling a sweat suit and calling it good for Angxiety due to the material. I got one lol it's actually the material that would have been used back in the day. no one knows better anymore. I just want a time machine and just go back in general.
You’re so right-things back then were built to last, and it’s amazing how some of those pieces are still around today. If only we could bring back that balance of quality and affordability! A time machine sounds like the perfect fix-sign me up for the trip!
majority of these rolled into the early 80s. My mom Rocked Alot of these styles. She was very Beautiful as well.
That’s so lovely to hear-your mom must have looked absolutely stunning rocking those styles! It’s true, so many of these trends carried into the early ’80s, blending the best of both decades. What a beautiful way to remember her and the fashion of the time!
Omg my mom made me a gaucho/bolero set to wear to Jr high - haven't heard of gauchos in a long time! Great trip down memory lane, thanks!
What a memory! Glad this brought back such a fun memory-thanks for sharing, and happy to take you on a trip down memory lane!
Maybe Guys wont remember what they were called, but they remember seeing us Girls wearing our "GUNNE SAX" Dresses! We wore them to Proms, Dances, special events, etc. They were probably inspired by the 70's tv show; "Little House On The Prairie." Even for the 70s they were pricey($100-$200 a piece), They sere made of Cotton, Satin Bows, & some lace overlay. They were gorgeous!
Timeless and unforgettable!
Nice _mea culpa_ at the beginning! ☺️👍
Thank you! I figured a little humility and a good laugh go a long way-it’s all part of learning and growing. I’m glad it resonated!
@WayBackAmericana it was perfectly executed. 👍
Elephant leg pants and bicycle chains 👍😳
Elephant leg pants and bicycle chains definitely could’ve been a risky combo!!
The photos ARE pretty random, compared to what the narration is saying.
Fair point! Thanks for the feedback! I tried to get it right in Part 2, have you seen it yet?
@WayBackAmericana just looking now.
@MelissaThompson432 be sure to let me know what you think!
@@WayBackAmericana MUCH better! ☺️
Patchwork print fabrics were popular too. Printed patterned polyester shirts and pullover shirts with partial zippers were common. I didn't like scratchy polyester. Satin hot pants sure didn't have any stretch to them. Kids now probably wouldn't be allowed to wear them to school like we did, LOL.
Patchwork prints and those patterned polyester shirts were such quintessential ’70s staples-definitely a bold era for fashion! Times have definitely changed! 😂 Thanks for the memories!
Betsy Johnson hot pants were all the fad, my Aunt had a bunch of Betsy's hot pants she would wear them in the summer time, she looked like Serena from Bewitched just stylish and beautiful, RIP Aunt Joan 🙏🏼🌹🕊️❤
What a beautiful memory of your Aunt Joan-she must have been so stylish rocking those Betsey Johnson hot pants!
I loved my Dr Scholles!!! Wore pair after pair! My legs are still muscular and tight to this day!!!
Dr. Scholl’s were the ultimate combo of style and a workout! Sounds like those sandals were doing double duty-fashion and fitness in one!
JFK Jr pic was mid to late 1990s.
Thanks for pointing that out! I’ll keep a closer eye on details like this in the future.
Wallabees were called desert boots where I'm from. Dittos were called saddleback jeans.
That’s so interesting-Wallabees as “desert boots” and Dittos as “saddleback jeans” show how fashion trends had their own regional twists! It’s always fun to see how names and styles evolved depending on where you were. Thanks for sharing!
thanks for the memories! ❤
You’re so welcome! So glad you enjoyed the trip down memory lane.
You forgot knee length plaid wool skirts with long boots. I wore that while layering several shirts. First a cowl necked shirt with a body suit over it. Then add a light jacket and I was good to go. Of course, everything had to be earthy colors.
What a classic ’70s look! That’s peak era style! The earthy tones really tied it all together-sounds like you nailed the vibe perfectly. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Mood rings!! Had one back then, and I bought some for the kids when they came back! Had stick pins too!
Mood rings were the ultimate ’70s accessory-so fun to watch them change colors and “reveal” your mood! Thanks for sharing those nostalgic gems!
Dittos...best pair of pants i ever owned. Had 5 pairs in my favorite colors. A must for your nite out in the 70s.
Dittos really were the best! Five pairs in your favorite colors? That’s dedication to great style! 😊
Wallabees. I think I had a pair.
A true ’70s staple!
Embroidery was also huge at the time.
I'm going to add that to my list for Part 3! Thanks!
When you change pictures, I like the background sound of the old slide projector changing slides...😊
That’s such a great touch, isn’t it? Glad you noticed and enjoyed it!
I am horrified to see the denim/leather patch short jean jacket. Only because I STILL OWN THAT JACKET. It’s been in my wardrobe for 50 some odd years old now. My kids would wear it on throwback days at their school. The horrifying part is my kids are now turning 40ish. Yikes that makes me and that jacket like 100 yrs old 😂😂😂😊😊❤❤❤
What an incredible story! That denim and leather patch jacket has some serious history! Sounds like it’s aging gracefully, just like you! What a treasure to hold onto, and a hilarious reminder of how time flies.
I had those Dr. Scholl’s wooden sandals. I can’t believe that I could keep them on my feet. Now that I am 76, very few shoes feel that great to wear.😊
It’s amazing how stylish and fun they were to wear back in the day. What a wonderful memory!
Bye bye gauchos and bell bottoms. Wide leg pants came in for awhile when my kids were growing up in the 90s, but they weren't really bell bottoms.
It’s true-gauchos and bell bottoms had their heyday, and while wide-leg pants made a comeback in the ’90s, they didn’t quite capture the dramatic flair of true bell bottoms. Every era adds its own twist, but nothing beats the originals!
Hot pants: Too many fat people to bring them back. In the 70s, most people weren't obese like they are now.
Hot pants were definitely a bold look in the ’70s, and it’s interesting to think about how styles shift with the times!
dr. Scholls sandals are back at $120 a pair. Ridiculous and they’re also painful.
Ouch and ouch. Nostalgia sure comes with a price tag these days!
Some of these I remember & wore. Huraches, yo-yo shoes, Charlie Brown shoes. Blue Jean bags, hip hugger jeans…miss those days…& being a size 3!😂
What a lineup of iconic trends! That’s a whole other level of nostalgia! Thanks for sharing!
Gauchos were worn with boots and culottes were worn with sandals
Each had its own vibe, and both were such fun trends of the era!
Too young for hot pants but my sister had a nice pair. I wanted them. When i got big enough to wear the, they didn’t fit. Wish i had my wine colored clogs. They were the best. Wedges…. I am late 70’s early 80’s girl. Had knock off dr scholls. Loved them.
Absolute staples of the late ’70s and early ’80s. Those were the days!
class of '74...good times!
Class of ’74-what an incredible time to graduate! So many great memories from that era. Cheers to the good times!
I used to paint my jeans with acrylic paint.
Bet they were absolute works of art and totally unique!
My first job as a 16 year old was at an all girl car wash where we were required to wear hot pants!
What a memorable first job! Bet those days left you with some interesting memories!
Tube tops under a satin jacket!
That’s such a classic combo! What a great memory!
I still have a pair of Dr. Scholls white, wooden sandals !! They are in excellent mind condition!!! ♥️
That’s incredible! Holding onto a pair of Dr. Scholl’s white wooden sandals in such great condition is like owning a piece of fashion history. They’re timeless classics-what a treasure to still have!
The fashions were fabulous.
Absolutely! ’70s fashion was bold, creative, and full of personality. It’s hard not to love such an iconic era of style!
I wore a lot of these in the 60s; none in the 70s.
It’s fascinating how so many styles from the ’60s carried over into the ’70s but with their own twist. Sounds like you were ahead of the curve, rocking these trends before they hit their peak!
Dittos were my secret weapon! 😅
What a fabulous go-to for looking and feeling amazing!
Those Dr. Scholls almost killed me a few times.
Dr. Scholl’s sandals were iconic, but they definitely had a mind of their own!
Anyone remember Wrangler buckle back jeans?
Wrangler buckle back jeans were such a cool throwback! Thanks for bringing that up, it’s a great memory! I'll add it to my list for Part 3!
The first pick of wedge sandals were my FAVORITE!!!!
They really stole the show, didn’t they?
@ yes they did
I had a pair of patchwork jeans all in rust colors. Loved them!
That sounds amazing! Such a unique look and totally captures the vibe of the era.
Elephant ears were wide legged pants
They were all about drama and flow-such a fun and iconic style from the era!
Those Dr. Scholl's sandals...memory unlocked. At least two pairs in my house at any time back in the day.
Dr. Scholl’s sandals really were everywhere back then! Such a fun memory to unlock-practical, stylish, and totally iconic!
