Very good Shannon, 5 points to ravenclaw. The disco era. Basically this was the beginning of the modern world as we know it today. People became free to wear whatever they wanted without restrictions. No longer was it uncouth to wear short skirts in public, fashion was a way of expressing ones self.
With this era came many different clothing styles many of which are considered odd and ugly today but then it was all the rage. Television became a stronger influence on the young people's choices in clothing. Charlie's Angels and Happy Days were 2 television shows that sparked much interest. In Charlie's Angels you saw beautiful dressed in pretty much very skimpy clothing and thats what most girls wanted to look like (OOC: I asked my mom and she said she and her sisters had the outfits, haha). For Happy Days it was all about the Fonze, a character who rode a motorcycle and wore a leather jacket. Young boys wanted that tough guy look.
For the evenings out to the disco's it was dress up time. For men, polyester suits, wide ties and boots. Saturday Night Fever, a movie from the 70's saw John Travolta in a white polyester suit, dancing the night away. For women in was the mini, the midi or the maxi. Basically here we are talking about skirt length. The mini continued through this ear from the 60's. With high boots to the knee and bright colourful tops.
