The thing I remember most was my Mums white boots with laces', at about 8 years of age I would put them on and parade around the lounge room. I loved those boots sooo much
I wore jewel coloured corduroy with paisley tops in the early 70s, then my favourite Amco jeans size Australian 9 which I wore for years with cheesecloth tops all through uni. Long cheesecloth skirts as well. I remember a well loved pinwale floral a-line skirt. I made a lot of my summer dresses too. There was a greater variety of clothing back then, now teenagers all look the same.
How diverse the patterns, colors and fabrics. I coordinated my outfits such as shoes and handbags. It was such fun to shop for clothes unlike today. I just don't like what's on the racks. Even though I'm old I still like to step out looking together.
I have a old bojangles employee shirt from the 70s it has a butterfly collar which is not something you see today a LOT it is white with orange and yellow and brown stripes on it and is a button shirt and has a pocket i got it when i was in 6th grade and mostly bigger clothing fitted me a lot since i tuck things in my shirt and wear a belt all the time when i wear 28 size jeans levi brand but mostly if you ever have any vintage clothing i would't wear it to do active stuff such as playing with your friends outside or go exploring around the creek but rather wear it to school or night outs or on special occasions.
I wear the shirt on picture day or a special day or a special day at school or on a holiday or when we have guest over to sleep I got the shirt when I was 12 and I'm 13y old right now and I keep it on a hanger in my closet along with other pola shirt and fancy shirt clothing along with some vintage jeans I wear with a belt
I think the Afro was beautiful, but I think all women of any race most are not satisfied with their natural hair . The Caucasian woman perm their straight hair , color it , and straighten their curly hair . I think most women like to change things up .
I hate to crush your optimism but the 70s was still very much choked by the notion that our natural hair was inherently wild and messy. I literally just watched a video FROM the 70s of a woman with curly Afro hair demonstrating how to dress to get a job. (I'm on a 70s kick) She shows that having her natural hair out is unprofessional and implies a worse work ethic, and the fix was to straighten your hair (or wear a wig). Unfortunately for us and the people from that time, black women have been consistently looked down on for our hair. (That said there's nothing wrong with straightening your hair or wearing wigs. As long as people do it because that's what they want and not because that's what they feel like they have to do.)
@@KimWiedmaier-fh6wh What was worn in the latter 60’s was also worn in the early 70’s and what was worn in the latter 70’s was also worn in the early 80’s .
When I was around in the 70s the plastic clothes was called 'the wet look' which ecouraged more sales. It was too hot for me, my countryTrinidad, but my friends, mainly girls, bought them.
I wouldn't be seen dead, in these funky "clothes"! I'm glad to've grown up during the 80s! The men especially looked funny, sporting those satin pants, and funky-patterened bell bottoms!😂
Unfortunately most of these clothes couldn’t be worn today as most frames tend to be bigger than back then,too many fast and hormone laden foods contributed to most people being bigger.😔
