Powerage Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Re; 70s fashions I think flares were more late sixties, in the early 70s I remember baggy trousers as Oxford bags and the denim equivalent were called Skinners No flares were definately the 70's the wider the better so in the end you tripped over them as they got tangled as you walked. They also had to be worn with a "Star Jumper" if anyone remembers those:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graystreet Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Early 70s also saw velvet jackets with big rose collars, and who can remember the tv show, Budgie, starring Adam Faith and from that spawned a fashion of Budgie shirts and suede Budgie jackets.

StJohn Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 My kids laugh at me because I am always comparing the price of things today to things growing up in the 70's. Maybe she could write up a list of things and then try and find out what they cost back then, I always use 2p The bus was 2 pence. My mum made me carry 2p for the phone. no cell phones. The 2 penny mix at the sweet shop. Maybe other people remember the cost of things too? StJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deebles Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Found this on the net:- 1970s Hairstyles In the 1970s anything went for hairstyles, but it was the age of the hippies and that meant most women tried to look as natural as possible. So no more bouffant, pompadour and poodle hair. Women tried to keep their locks as long, smooth and sleek as possible. The 1970s hairstyles were actually pretty cool, and a little bit of a time saver compared to the 50’s. No more sleeping in curlers and no more rolls and pin up hairdos. It was time to let your silky hair down and be carefree. But since there were no straightening irons in the 70s, women had to go to extra lengths to create their ‘natural’ look. To get that long luscious look of the seventies hairstyle women actually had to use a regular clothing iron to straighten their hair. Girls would take turns ironing each others hair, inch by inch careful not to scorch the hair, in order to achieve the natural, smooth, straight look of the 1970s. There are a lot of famous styles, one being the Afro. In the 70s black power and pride were coming out strong and as a way of reinforcing humans that beauty comes in all shapes and forms. Black men and women would grow out their tightly coiled hair and the texture the hair had would create this huge puff of afro goodness on the tops of their heads. One of the weirdest 1970s hairstyles I have to say I’ve ever seen is the disco wedge cut. It is pretty much everything girls today don’t want their haircut to turn out like, and probably fear. The mullet was also a popular seventies hair style for men, and probably some women. Your basic mullet was cutting the hair short on the sides and top leaving the back longer, most of the time down to the shoulders, maybe a little shorter. The page boy was a hairstyle for younger kids and maybe teens. To create this style you would curl the back of the hair under and only up to the neck, then to the same on the sides and the bangs keeping all the curls going underneath and towards the face. Fluff the bangs up for the finishing touch and there you have a page boy fluff hairdo. Ferrah Fawcett had a major impact in 1970s hairstyles. She made famous the feathered look, which today is still a really popular hairstyle for young adults. The feathered look is actually a really easy hairstyle to achieve. Just blow dry your hair in an up and under motion to get more volume, body, and movement through your hair, then blow dry around the face going up and out to get that softer feathered look. ‘Freedom’ was definitely the motto that gave the creative edge and bold looks of the 1970s hairstyles.
