Fashion Trends of the 70′s Dress Designs

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

The 70′s dress designs were practically innumerable. Starting from the bell bottoms to the printed blouses people would wear anything and
everything they liked. The 70′s dress designs were a mix of the minis the midis and the maxi style dresses. Ladies would wear bright colored
blouses and would wear the minis along with them to dress up in a trendy way. To complete their fashionable dressing they would wear knee length boots with their minis and would flaunt them in a trendy way.

As far as the men were concerned they would wear the bell bottoms which were in vogue and would carry long hair which was usually curled to make it look attractive. Wearing shirts with big collars was the most in thing then and even the men would go in for floral prints for their shirts. Flared trousers and loose shirts was a fashion statement as far as the 70′s dress style was concerned.The fashion trend of the 70′s dress designs was more or less based on the carefree theme of the hippies. Everyone was carefree and relaxed in their dressing style and wore different styles of clothes which would be relaxed and trendy. While the men would wear the bell bottoms and flowery shirts with broad collars, the women would wear the minis with boots of knee length. Most of the young men and women would only focus on following the hippie’s trend.

The 70′s dress style also included the use of a lot of accessories which included the use of bracelets, wigs and headbands etc which were used by both the men and women in their dressing. Moreover during the 70′s even men used to keep long hair and big sideburns which were considered to be trendy. Most of the male movie starts and celebrities often followed the trend of keeping long hair and mostly wore the floral and trendy outfits which were in vogue those days.

Even these days when people organize theme based parties they tend to choose the 70′s dress style due to its colorful and jazzy look. With
shimmering clothes and disco lights the entire party actually comes alive. Men in bell bottoms and broad collared floral shirts and women in the minis with floral tops actually make the entire party very lively and entertaining. While the 70′s dress style is very much appreciated for theme parties, people often get confused about attending a party which has the 70′s dress style as the theme. Since the 70′s dress style involved a gamut of dresses that one could choose from people find it difficult to decide what to wear for their 70′s theme party.

Those of you who haven’t had the opportunity to look through some of your old family photographs should ideally watch the movie “grease” or the music shows that were done by the “Bee Gees”. This would give you a clear picture of 70′s dress style which was followed at that time.

Today, the world has completely different future, since forecasted. After years of negligence the history again emerged with wider acceptance. People again started appreciating the core values, old traditions, ceremonies and hold them as a treasure for us. They look back to the past, searching for our origins, something significant to have. All this affected our lives, our preferences and our selections to reposition ourselves. This is also happens in fashion too.

Old Fashion – Back In Rhythm
People are thriving to get equilibrium point in a wavering world. Here, history is only our inspiration. The fashion industry is surged with look-alikes that were present in the market even before the originals, which empowers to a few designers. It is time mull over the situation, as the fashion industry paused instead moving ahead in creating new innovation. It is going diving deeper into the past to bring out contemporary version than the fast trends and buildups. Alike politics, ideology for ethics, values, regulation, category and style is apparently noticeable in fashion industry too.

People value and re-organize treasures, diving deep into the times of past European clothing fashions till great designs of embroideries and laces of great grand mothers. People are witnessing the coming back of old fashion and retro-trends.

Class Fashion
Attraction, high-class and stylishness are keys for to-be trends. Designers inspired from the old members of the aristocracy, at present it is the high society. The sophisticated lady is now dressing like a queen, princess or an empress. The present high class is circumspect and less lavish, in contrast to the show-off fashion trends.

Classic styles
Due to change in preferences, all the inspiration sources (like Couture classics, British classics, and masculine weaving classics), are embedded with elegance, turn into feminine fashion.


Styles from pioneers and plains
The journey of historic fashion crosses all borders of the different countries, fashion from Britain, France, Russia etc… to the country life, gypsy and folk fashion styles. People can find the routes of fashion inspiration from the initial European emigrants to the America.

Ethnic Styles
The influence of Eastern countries over fashion industry is declining; however, their economy is becoming a real competitive dilemma to the Western World. Albeit, there is considerable cultural influence of African Muslim countries with their exotic jewelry and embroidery designs.

It is confusing that nothing is clear for future. People would only witness influence of above all…

Natural Preference
After a long time with extreme elegance, glitter, shine, mad design, print and pattern mixes, people are moving towards natural harmony. The originals from the Mother Nature, natural textures and shining, the zigzag, allure us. Now, people want to go for endurance and quality of a fabric, the luxury, and the exotic designs.

People are tired of fast fashion trends and the hip hops, now they wish long lasting and timeless comfortable clothing fashions. Keeping distance from ‘low cost’ clothing, with appearance unveiling high standard of living. People desire all these extravagances for low price.

Conclusion
People will prefer smart and stunning matches, which are the major keys for fashion blends for various motives, materials, and prints all in single outfit. At haphazard mixing, mix-and-match fashion, blended patch works and intense style odds are talk of past.
