The 70's dress designs were practically innumerable. Starting from the bell bottoms to the printed blouses people would wear anything and everything they liked. The 70's dress designs were a mix of the minis the midis and the maxi style dresses. Ladies would wear bright colored blouses and would wear the minis along with them to dress up in a trendy way. To complete their fashionable dressing they would wear knee length boots with their minis and would flaunt them in a trendy way.

As far as the men were concerned they would wear the bell bottoms which were in vogue and would carry long hair which was usually curled to make it look attractive. Wearing shirts with big collars was the most in thing then and even the men would go in for floral prints for their shirts. Flared trousers and loose shirts was a fashion statement as far as the 70's dress style was concerned.

The fashion trend of the 70's dress designs was more or less based on the carefree theme of the hippies. Everyone was carefree and relaxed in their dressing style and wore different styles of clothes which would be relaxed and trendy. While the men would wear the bell bottoms and flowery shirts with broad collars, the women would wear the minis with boots of knee length. Most of the young men and women would only focus on following the hippie's trend.

The 70's dress style also included the use of a lot of accessories which included the use of bracelets, wigs and headbands etc which were used by both the men and women in their dressing. Moreover during the 70's even men used to keep long hair and big sideburns which were considered to be trendy. Most of the male movie starts and celebrities often followed the trend of keeping long hair and mostly wore the floral and trendy outfits which were in vogue those days.

Even these days when people organize theme based parties they tend to choose the 70's dress style due to its colorful and jazzy look. With shimmering clothes and disco lights the entire party actually comes alive. Men in bell bottoms and broad collared floral shirts and women in the minis with floral tops actually make the entire party very lively and entertaining. While the 70's dress style is very much appreciated for theme parties, people often get confused about attending a party which has the 70's dress style as the theme. Since the 70's dress style involved a gamut of dresses that one could choose from people find it difficult to decide what to wear for their 70's theme party.

Those of you who haven't had the opportunity to look through some of your old family photographs should ideally watch the movie "grease" or the music shows that were done by the "Bee Gees". This would give you a clear picture of 70's dress style which was followed at that time.
