Those of the 70s fashion era liked it vibrant, loud and noisy.”Don’t walk past without noticing me”, they seemed to say.All their activities of the time gave this message , even their dancing. Thus were born The Hustle, and the electric slide, to name just two. Vision for example, the in-crowd dressed in psychedelic printed shirts and trousers, dancing these new steps at a disco or party and you get an idea of the post 60′s vibe.
The flavour was towards extravagance and ostentation enhanced with psychedelic colours, perhaps inpired by the release of the beatles album cover showing these colour combinations.
Further trends were set by the use of PVC dancing boots due the iunfluence of Nancy Sinatra “these boots were made for walking” and the emergence of new pop group Abba.
Hair stlyes did not escape the revolution, with over-the-top Afros being hugely popular. If you were into rock, the you adopted the spikey hair style guaranteed to capture attention,whether approving or morely likely, not. But sending out this rebellious statement, was the message of the time.
For a non-rock look, men polished up their appearance with tailored clothes and a sharp look.
Many women tried the peasant look with long sleeved minis and stunning colorful printed tops.
