TRENDS 1970s' Fashion Clothing Trends

Well, one thing that has remained a common factor in the fashion world over the years are the ever-popular jeans. No matter what your age is, gender, cultural differences, or choices in clothes, almost everyone on this planet owns a pair of jeans. The popularity of denim jeans is something one is very well aware of. Jeans with frayed edges were pretty much in demand. The legs were generally flared towards the bottom which was known as bell bottoms. That is what the 70s was known for. The hipsters that are a staple diet amongst youngsters today, were a part of the 1970s' fashion trends. Apart from this, embroidered jeans or those with metal embellishments were considered to be really haute. There were many others who opted for high-waisted jeans.
