From Pong to punk, the seeds of modern-day pop-culture were largely planted in the ’70s. For starters, look no further than fashion.
As the hippie look of the ’60s faded, androgynous fashion took root. Clothing for both men and women became popular, both sexes wore bellbottom pants and platform shoes. The casual staple that is a T-shirt came into popularity as well.
Meanwhile, women consequently donned pantsuits. Men’s fashion ranged from hippie leftovers to tracksuits to leisure suits. Tweed sport jackets were a business casual staple. Styles came in every color of the rainbow in homage to the neon days of the ’60s past.
Whether fashion or culture at large and beyond, so much shaped this incredible decade and it’s all perfectly captured in this vintage gallery of 1970s images.
