The Glam Rock Era

Although the seventies are a period in time that not many people cannot really relate to in the 21^st Century, the clothes are experiencing a resurgence. The early 1970’s saw the mini skirt at it’s most popular and was worn by a multitude of people from a plethora of different backgrounds; this fashion phenomenon in combination with flared jeans produced a street scene that would be almost unrecognisable on the streets of the UK today. The music of the time influenced the style of dress hugely and bands such as ABBA played a huge part in producing that unmistakeable seventies’ look. No reflection on seventies fashion would be complete without reference to the iconic platform shoes, these shoes with soles 2-4 inches thick were the footwear to be seen in and were hugely popular with both men and women. Embroidered and knitted clothes with an ethnic flavour were also very popular and were favoured by fashionistas and the psychedelic set alike and produced a distinct subculture that whilst drawing influence from the sixties was still very much a seventies look.

Disco Diva

It was during this era that the Disco really came to the forefront of youth culture and was embraced across the globe. In conjunction with this phenomenon came Disco fashion, kipper ties in bold colours and zippered jumpsuits are just two examples of popular attire for a Saturday night in the seventies. For those people who wish to recreate that look for a 70s fancy dress party, Dressed 2 Frill have all the answers. Please take your time to browse our website for the widest selection of seventies clothes available anywhere, whatever your tastes may be we have something to recreate that Saturday night fever and take you back in time. Disco fashion was hugely influenced by the US Disco scene and groups such as Boney M enabled young African Americans to recreate the latest look right down to the afro hairstyle. Here at Dressed to Frill we are committed to bringing you the highest quality retro clothing at the most affordable prices, if you have any questions regarding any aspect of our business please do not hesitate to contact us.

No Future

The seventies are also remembered as a time when Punk Rock crashed onto the scene, musically and fashion wise it was a marked contrast in comparison to the Disco and remnants of the hippy era. Safety pins and soiled clothing were the order of the day and the attitude reflected the economic conditions of the time when unemployment was high and the UK was in the grip of a major recession.
