Style through the era's.

Of the 1950's I well remember the circle skirts with stiff petticoats underneath, Twin sets, poodle skirts & pony tails.

Of the 1960's it was shift dresses, mini skirts, bouffant hair and flower power hippy style dressing.

Of the 1970's - Jump suits, boob tubes, platform shoes, feathered hair

Of the 1980 all I remember is perms & padded shoulders...

Cant seem to remember any particular styles after the 80's.

Were there any?

Re: Style through the era's.

in the 90s fleeces were all the rage. Everyone was suddenly wearing hiking gear. Flares came back but they were called "bootcut". G-strings - when did they first appear? The 90s? Low rise jeans (my pet hate). Combat trousers - possibly the least flattering female attire since dungarees. The 00s had lots of lovely silky feminine tops with flowery designs and a low cleavage. Pretty cardigans. Men started wearing flamboyant shirts (inspired by Austin Powers). Then men's fashion went to those skinny leg trousers, not just in jeans but in suits too. Which I think look really good.

Re: Style through the era's.

Aahh, the early 70’s. I well remember having a wardrobe full of hot pants of every description. My favourites was a very expensive matching white see-through set with lilac and purple flowers on the top and matching hot-pants (definitely evenings only. respectfully, the hotpants were double lined but the top was see through.) also loved wearing suede hot-pants with bibs.
Of course the matching colour knee length boots were also a must.

I also remember often visiting Jean Machine in Oxford Street with my friends to buy our F.Us jeans. It was a unisex shop and we had to try them on in tiny cubicles with saloon type doors. We pulled the jeans up and then had to walk back into the shop itself for an assistant (always men) to pull up the jeans zip with a hook. (if you could pull the zip up yourself- no good, too big).There was only ever one huge mirror and that was in the main shop itself.

I also loved wearing the crochet mini-dresses. Also the mini-dresses with tassels.

LOL, Brings back fond memories.
