Women's fashion: During the Women's Liberation Movement, women wore traditional male clothing like baggy trousers, jackets, vests, ties and hats. Women's fashion was dominated by suits; leisure suits, pant suits, jump suits and track suits. Female executives were wearing business suits with pants and women at home wore jeans.
Colourful clothing: The hippie fashion movement of the 1960s crossed over into the fashion of both men and women in the 1970s. Clothing with bright colours, flowing skirts and jeans were popular. Men usually wore colourful ties and fitted shirts with big collars. Many men kept their hair long and grew beards or moustaches.
Bell bottoms: Also known as flares, are a style of pants that become wider from the knees downwards, forming a bell-like shape at the end of the pants. Bell bottoms were worn by both men and women and ranged in width.
Disco fashion: Usually worn at night, was made from stretchy fabrics and decorated with sequins. Women wore short 'hotpants', bodysuits and towering platform shoes while men wore open-necked satin shirts and flared trousers.
