\"70s<\/p>\n

One of my favorite fashion decades is the \u201870s because for the first time in fashion history, the American female was purchasing clothing for various activities and occasions in her life, including home, office, formal and casual wear. The opportunities to buy “different” kinds of clothing had expanded — which ultimately led to the expansion of the American female’s closet, too.<\/p>\n

While the average woman of the previous decades as a stay-at-home housewife, women of the \u201870s were gaining part time and full time employment more than ever before. Denim wasn\u2019t just for woman on the Western range but rather, the working mom and woman on-the-go.<\/p>\n

Because life was moving faster than ever, women were sewing their clothing less and less. Rather, they purchased their \u201870s dresses<\/a> ready-made at department stores and from catalogs. With ready-made-apparel so much more popular, trends came and went with faster speeds.<\/p>\n

The influences of the lively, disco-infused party scene trickled into mainstream fashion, too, making platform wedges, glitter and just about polyester anything must-have items both on and off the dance floor.<\/p>\n

Plus, \u201870s celebrities<\/a> were influencing the fashion trends more than any other era thanks to greater accessibility to the visual communication of magazines and television screens. Bianca Jagger put designer Halston on the map, Jane Birkin made denim chic and invented the Birkin bag, the movie Annie Hall<\/em> made menswear chic for women and Lizza Minneli showed the world how to wear a jumpsuit and sequins with grace.<\/p>\n

The 1970s<\/a> was a free-spirited time not only of fashion revolution but political, cultural, social and economic change for the American female, too. These changes — while considered normal by today\u2019s standards — had major influential shifts on the styles and the lives of the modern \u201870s woman. After the \u201870s, fashion for woman has continued to be liberal, creative and free.<\/p>\n

From the Working Girl <\/em>practicality of crepe ascot blouses to the casually cool vibe of Jane Birkin in wide-legged denim, keep reading after the jump to learn the fashion history of 10 different \u201870s clothing trends<\/strong> that seem so modern, you\u2019d never guess they were vintage!<\/p>\n

Clothing of the \u201870s<\/a> recently experienced a revival in modern fashion because quite a few trends of the 1970s resemble styles worn by the contemporary woman of today. Maxi dresses, floppy hats and the signature Missoni chevron stripe are all very 2012 … except, they’re so very not <\/em>in regard to true origin!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say every single \u201870s trend<\/a> is on point with 21st century mainstream fashion. The \u201870s \u2018punk, \u201870s disco and \u201870s flower child styles are too extreme to be worn on the everyday. It\u2019s best to channel elements of these quintessential \u201870s styles than it is to duplicate the look to a tee — unless you want to look like you\u2019re wearing a costume!<\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to hear what \u201870s trend you love most from this list by leaving a comment on the post. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

And if I missed one you love, let me know about that too, or say hello to me on Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> or Email!<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
