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.

The 70s were comfy. You wore jeans and cool shoes. hair was wash and wear.
And then came the 80s with its ultra-styled big (helmet) hair and the highest of heels and Princess Diana style. Suits were de rigour for work. Every day was like dressing to go to a wedding. It was exhausting.
And the 90s? Meh...not comfy. Rigid.
21st century? Still rigid.
I miss comfy.
Agree with the above comment. I miss the 70's!
