The sixties of the last century were remembered by the "cold war", the arms race, Beatlemania, the flourishing of the hippy subculture, the birth of punk rock, the movement of skinheads. All these events could not but affect the fashion trends of the seventies.
This time is sometimes called the decade of bad taste. But then it is unclear why all the designers of the nineties always produced collections in the style of the seventies. And these collections were a success.
In the seventies, many styles and trends in clothing were popular. Such a diversity can not boast of any decade of the twentieth century.
In the early seventies, the fashion trends of the past decade were preserved. The classic stern silhouette does not lose its popularity among business people. At the same time, the romantic style is gaining momentum. Natural fabrics, small flowers, flounces and frills - a real "young lady-peasant woman"
But the American hippies were able to influence the fashion trends of the seventies all over the world. Youth everywhere preferred simple simple outfits. In fashion, ostentatious negligence.
Ethnic style is gaining momentum, but it is not homogeneous. Peacefully coexist gypsy and Japanese motifs.

And leather clothing is more popular than ever.
Together with the popularization of a healthy lifestyle, the number of those engaged in fitness and aerobics is increasing. This could not affect the fashion trends of the seventies. Sports silhouette now have not only trousers, but also jackets, and even skirts.
A real shock to the inhabitants of Europe caused a disco style. Narrow sexy pants with lycra and lurex, translucent blouses, large costume jewelry and countless sequins left the discos and nightclubs, and took to the streets of the day city.
Then came the diffuse style. The combination of the unreadable turned out to be a very promising direction in the design of clothes. The proof is modern fashion trends.
Along with a variety of styles, the seventies are characterized by a variety of fashion addicts' attitudes to certain wardrobe items.

The invention of Mexican cattlemen - poncho - conquers Europe. Parisian couturiers represent the whole model series of this clothing.
Mini skirt does not lose popularity. Now it is worn in combination with heavy shoes on the platform. It was this fashion trend that led to the appearance of the standard of beauty 90-60-90.
Trousers-flared steel is an indicator of style. The flush can be either from the hip or from the knee. A flush can be moderate, or maybe crazy. Materials choose any - corduroy, tartan, krimplen. But at the peak of jeans flared.
Sensational invention of the seventies are shorts. Europe and America, they conquered the beginning of the decade. But for the iron curtain of the USSR "this disgrace" could penetrate only in the late eighties.
The rise of the chemical industry of the seventies led to the emergence of a large number of various synthetic materials. Printed ethnic patterns on artificial silk, large flowers and leaves, fabrics with a "coupon" give everyone the opportunity to stand out from the crowd. But natural fabrics from this abundance began to be appreciated even more. All classic models are made of natural material.
Mod is called a mirror of public mood. Bright colors symbolized the taste for life of the generation of the seventies. Eclecticism indicates a continuous search. And light silhouettes reflect the readiness for new accomplishments. This is the decade. These are the fashion trends of the seventies. And they are constantly returning to modern fashion designers.
