    This video brings back some memories. I truly loved my childhood in the 70s. My father loved his bell bottoms a d my mother used to wear these clogs that made noise everywhere she went😄. What I loved most was the free spirit of that decade. People weren’t so stressed like today. Kids had more freedom. During the late 70s and the 80s I could leave with my bike in the morning and return in the evening and nobody worried. Nowadays children can’t even leave their driveway or their parents get frantic. Times have surely changed and not for the better.

    For those of us who grew up in colder climates, a must-have was a maxi coat for winter. Down to your feet, solid color wool, black or navy, double breasted with contrasting buttons. You ore them with matching bulky knit hat, scarf, and gloves. I was so proud when I finally talked my mom into buying one. She said it made me look like a war refugee from Europe.

The clothes were fun in the 70's! Great music too! Nothing better to hear songs from back then....

I had the same orange Sunkist shirt that’s on the thumbnail! I wasn’t a fan of jumpsuits because they were hard to get out of to go to the bathroom!

    I was born in ‘79. I wore mood rings in the early ‘90s when they came around again. I probably still have one laying around and would wear one today. My best friend growing up and I would drive almost downtown to shop at the vintage and hippie stores here in Atlanta like The Junkman’s Daughter. There’s even a drive-in movie theater with a flea market near there.
    I still love clogs & Birkenstocks. I wear tie-dye and peasant & crocheted blouses all the time. They’re just more flattering with my body type and height. I wish more companies would make 70s style lingerie still. Everything has so much wire and padding now.
    I remember growing my bangs out so I could part my hair in the middle and I’ve kept that style. I guess I decided on the hippie look around age 14 and stuck with it.

    shopping for clothes before the school year began ( mid-late 70's) was easy for me and my friends. We bought a few pairs of Levis and that just about did it. Of course it took a few months of washing them before they got really good and comfortable. Then the ultimate was when they began to fray (sp?) and holes started appearing in the knees. Some folks used patches, but most of us just left them alone. Finally... they would get so torn that we would get scissors and cut them in to shorts. No big fashion statement or anything. You just used stuff as long as you could. ".... and though you want them to last forever you know they never will... you know they never will. And the patches make the goodbye harder still." --- Cat Stevens

And roller skating in knee-high socks, and wearing Satin shorts with knee-high socks. Plus the long hair. Long hair in the 70s was beautiful on men and women. The Bee Gees were also one of the best things about the 70s. Their music is still relevant today. I love the Bee Gees.

    These garments were all the rage, but in my high school, the bell bottom jeans, the fringe jackets, mini skirts, the Patton leather boots, and chockers for girls were the norm.
    However, we also wore the non modern attire as well.
    Regular jeans, t-shirts, loafers, and let's not forget the hair styles!

    I remember those bell bottoms. Our junior high school had big staircases. The girls would often step on their pants legs & fall down the stairs. Good thing we were young and agile. We usually caught ourselves after only going down a step or two.

    I’m late to the party, but I was Teen through the 70’s. Although they weren’t care free War, inflation, riots, energy crisis, they were not as scary and dangerous as today imo. Do you remember toe beads that looked like you were wearing sandals but you were bare footed. Did you split your jeans down the seam from the bottom to the knee and sew cool fabric in a triangle shape to make your bells bigger, or your old western cut jeans bell bottom. Hip hugger jeans were cool. We use to take old jeans and make purses out of them. Pheasant tops , CPO jackets, desert boots. Going to live concerts of our favorite bands almost every weekend, it didn’t cost so much as today. I’ve seen Moody Blues , ELO, Rod Stewart, BTO to just name a couple. Stadium seating was out lawed after some kids were injured and killed when a large crowed rushed the door. I think it was in the early 80’s ? Some schools had smoking rooms for the kids you had to be 16. Back then smoking wasn’t harmful lol. My doctors smoked sometimes while writing down their doctor stuff! When I was a child doctors still made house calls. I miss the 70’s because it was safer, not so complicated, and as Americans we were much more together in almost everything. Stores still closed on Sundays and no alcohol sales on Sundays either. 😮😊

    I still fondly remember my black knit, bell bottom zip front jumpsuit. Except when I was in the stall of the Macy’s restroom; I started to zip my jumpsuit back up, and my waist length hair got stuck. My long hair, another feature of the 70s, also got caught up in the covered toilet paper holder when I was pulling down the toilet paper in, you guessed it, a Macy’s ladies room stall.

      "It's wild to see how many of these styles were popular when I was a kid in the late 90s/early 00s" I was thinking the same thing! The Late 90's & 00's was *VERY* retro 60's & 70's and we didn't even realize it -- Some examples: Velour and embroidery was back in style... Suburban emo kids revived Beatles-hair, studded belts, Converse and checkered Vans shoes... Hip-hugger flare jeans and baggy bootcut jeans were the new bell bottoms... Lance Bass revived spikey hair with dyed tips... Britney Spears revived crop-tops at the peak of her career... Chest-stripe shirts and white pants were in style... Many black guys had a Caesar cut with 360 waves and a mobster-mustache like Motown artists, etc... I could go on forever listing things from the 60's & 70's that made a brief comeback.

  • @a24-45
    @a24-45 Рік тому +2

    Excellent video. I was a young adult then and wore every one of the female fashions shown. A doctor at the time told me that the wooden platform shoe/clog fashion was responsible for a spate of young women with twisted ankles hitting casualty departments. I can attest from personal experience that all forms of wooden footwear were hideously uncomfortable to wear.
    This video has unfortunately left out the very significant invention in the 1970s of the midi skirt - whose skirt hem ended at the mid-calf. Not since pre-WWI had western societies seen such a long hemline. However, the A-line silhouette was a novel development which made this fashion feel new. The look may have originated with the revival of Country/Western/cowgirl/saddleskirt wear, and was the female equivalent of the '70s male "safari suit".
    The extra-long and wide skirt hems demanded a considerable high heel in order to not look dowdy and frumpy ; so the midiskirt drove the platform shoe fashion, exactly the same as as the flared pant hem did. Platforms really only look good with longer and wider hems. Even today, they still look weird with a miniskirt or skinny/straight-leg/short-hem pants.
