It's hard to take the '70s seriously: the decade usually reduced to a shag-carpeted, bell-bottomed punch line. And while the '70s did include its share of garish colors and over-the-top looks, such bold moves were necessary to break out of a cautious, cookie-cutter society.
In reality, the period gave people the freedom to dress however they chose. Contemporary trends like eco-chic, native craftwork, vintage revivalism, gender-bending androgyny, or DIY thrift-shop fashion all originally flourished during the 1970s.
