Fashion Vs The 70s
Throughout the decades, fashion is always evolving. New trends are continuously spreading, becoming more popular throughout society. Each decade has a unique style, and the 90s is a good example. Although when compared to the earlier year of the 70s, they have many differences. Nevertheless, some similarities do occur between the fashion of the two time periods. Clothing worn between the two eras is one clear fashion difference. The grunge look was a popular trend for 90s people, whereas the 70s was often known as the “me decade”, which is about expressing individuality. 1990s clothing was often baggy, and included items such as oversized sweaters, flannel shirts, denim, turtlenecks and solid colors. However, common 70s clothing included tie
dye, which contrasts the solid colors trend of the 90s. Bell bottom jeans are another 70s trend, where pants are tight in the waist, yet gradually become loose towards the bottom. However, pants during the 90s are usually baggy all around. This shows another example opposite clothing trends between the two decades. Tattoos and piercings also became popular in the 90s, yet not so popular in the 70s decade, Another difference between style are hairdos worn in the 70s and 90s. The natural hair movement was prominent in the 70s. This included the afro, which is an example of a popular hairstyle for African Americans. Women of the decade also commonly wore hair down, and would leave the natural texture of their hair. Although, 90s hair trends are the opposite of natural hair. Unlike the 70s, women often crimped their hair, put it in a spiky updo, or flipped the ends out. Each decade has their own unique hair trends, and that is another reason why they contrast in style. Although the two decades have many different style choices, they are similar in some ways. Both eras incorporat bright clothing into popular trends and styles. The pantsuit and overalls also gained popularity during the late 70s and early 90s. Another broad similarity is the classic T-shirt. A common shoe shared by both eras is also Birkenstocks, a popular brand. The differences may outweigh the similarities, yet shows how unique each decade is. Society continues to constantly evolve, and create new trends. These two decades are only one example of that.
