    The BEST time to grow up!! If they didn’t sell bell bottom jeans wide enough at the bottom, we cut the fabric from the bottom to the knee and inserted a triangle shape of an accent color.

    This video brings back some memories. I truly loved my childhood in the 70s. My father loved his bell bottoms a d my mother used to wear these clogs that made noise everywhere she went😄. What I loved most was the free spirit of that decade. People weren’t so stressed like today. Kids had more freedom. During the late 70s and the 80s I could leave with my bike in the morning and return in the evening and nobody worried. Nowadays children can’t even leave their driveway or their parents get frantic. Times have surely changed and not for the better.

In the 9th grade, my brother had a rock band and they were playing a concert at school which was 9th and 10th grade. My other brother was in the jr high which was 7th and 8th. He wanted to hear the concert so my mom (yes. She could be cool!) wrote him a note to leave school for a dentist appt. But he got caught anyway! Lol! Then my brothers band dedicated the song “Smoking in the Boys’ Room” to the principal! It was an awesome time! The clothes were the coolest!!

Unfortunately, I was a regular smoker back then, so many of us used to huddle together and light up hoping school security wouldn't see us. I did get caught once and got suspended for one day. I quit smoking one year after I graduated and never went back. That's funny about your brother. Your mom sounds like my mom. 😄

    Painter pants, 'earth shoes' and turtle necks were my middle school 'uniform'. Paisley polyester wide collar button ups were a big hit with the super cool dudes. I remember a cousin visiting us in mid 1970s and she was desperate to find slim ankle jeans. Boot cut was narrow as we could find which was a no go for her. Definitely rebellion against bell bottoms. Along with the very short shorts for running (brothers wore them) were white with top stripe knee high tube socks. You mentioned that in another video. Pant suits were popular for little girls too.

    I had clogs, halter tops and tube tops. Another shirt that was popular was a shortsleeve blouse with a tie in the back. I had bellbottoms, but mine always dragged the floor because I was so short. That’s why platform shoes were so popular-they kept the bellbottoms from touching the floor.

      Exactly. But it was also cool to have ragged bottoms in the back. We went to men's Levi's so we could get the right length and waist size. Then sew them tight to above the knee. Then lay on the bed to zip them. They had to be skin tight lol.

    And on top usually a cool T-shirt (many times from a T-shirt shop with an iron-on picture on it) under an unbuttoned flannel shirt, sleeves rolled up to elbow.

There’s even a drive-in movie theater with a flea market near there.
    I still love clogs & Birkenstocks. I wear tie-dye and peasant & crocheted blouses all the time. They’re just more flattering with my body type and height. I wish more companies would make 70s style lingerie still. Everything has so much wire and padding now.

      I still use suede fringe purses (a younger friend teases me about my love of fringe - my favorite Harley Davidson jacket has fringe) and I have my puka shell necklace still but don't wear it. I miss the '70s.

    I graduated high school in 1971. Yes,I wore all those, and we were thin and natural looking. No pink hair or heavy makeup. We had lots of fun going to the beach and movies. Hanging out in someone's backyard pool. This was Miami when it was a lot less crowded. Moved away in 1988.

    Wow! I was transported back to my sister Secondgirl's sewing room with halters, apple caps and bell bottoms waiting to be finished!

    Clogs came back in the '90s and early 2000s. I always loved those shoes.

      They do keep coming back every so often. Thank you for watching!

    Embroidered names on cotton zip up jackets and block letter iron on shirts are two fashion trends I remember that don't seem to get mentioned on 70s fashion lists.

      Those even remained popular in the 80s and early 90s as well. I haven't seen anyone wear them since. Thank you for watching Karin!

    I don’t know how many times I tripped myself by getting my foot caught in those bell bottoms. I recently bought a pair of pajamas that ended up having bell bottom-ish pants. I still trip myself. lol
    Halter tops, clogs, and maxi-dresses. 💕 I’ve never owned a caftan, but I still think they’re gorgeous.

    I was born in 67 and grew up as a child in the 70's, 80's and in my 20's in the 90's and my older sister and my cousin's wore the tank tops and flared bell-bottoms and some of the female clothing styles that you previewed in your video. Just love 70's nostalgia from clothing to TV shows to the movies. Good video 😊❤️

    I was in middle school in the 70s but I remember these fashions. My older brother and his friends wore crushed velvet bow ties and Qiana (faux silk) shirts when they needed to dress up. I loved my bell bottom jeans and loved how they got all ragged after getting dragged on the ground.

      My brother had a short sleeve peach coral Qiana silk shirt. I had a pair of black bellbottoms with all over yellow and white sunflowers when I was 10 or 11 back in 1970 71.

    Great times back then. I miss from the 50’s on. The 60’s rocked that’s when I saw The Beatles in 64 & 66. Plus many many other bands. I had many of these clothes too. Always wore platform shoes.
