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!

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.

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’m late to the party, but I was Teen through the 70’s. Although they weren’t care free War, inflation, riots, energy crisis, they were not as scary and dangerous as today imo. Do you remember toe beads that looked like you were wearing sandals but you were bare footed. Did you split your jeans down the seam from the bottom to the knee and sew cool fabric in a triangle shape to make your bells bigger, or your old western cut jeans bell bottom. Hip hugger jeans were cool. We use to take old jeans and make purses out of them. Pheasant tops , CPO jackets, desert boots. Going to live concerts of our favorite bands almost every weekend, it didn’t cost so much as today. I’ve seen Moody Blues , ELO, Rod Stewart, BTO to just name a couple. Stadium seating was out lawed after some kids were injured and killed when a large crowed rushed the door. I think it was in the early 80’s ? Some schools had smoking rooms for the kids you had to be 16. Back then smoking wasn’t harmful lol. My doctors smoked sometimes while writing down their doctor stuff! When I was a child doctors still made house calls. I miss the 70’s because it was safer, not so complicated, and as Americans we were much more together in almost everything. Stores still closed on Sundays and no alcohol sales on Sundays either. 😮😊

Thank you for watching Ron!

[@wendygore2709]

My mom, myself and my sister, had all of these items (except for the sheerling jacket) Thanks for the memories Rhetty 👍❤️

[@RhettyforHistory]

You're welcome and thank you for watching Wendy!

[@itsdiane2you11]

I found a shearling jacket in a thrift store for 8 bucks about 3 years ago. Bought it! 😁

I Love The 70s My Favorite Decade.

[@shelbymunro8941]

I was born in 1974. I guess that's why I love the 70s so much. I think it would be cool to own some of those clothes. I hope the 70s come back in fashion. My eyes thank you.

[@msbowie58]

I grew up in the 70’s in Los Angeles, graduated HS in 1976 . It was a great time to be a teen! Great music, good times. I miss those days!

[@fob1xxl]

I remember in the 70's when I was a young guy in my 20's I had a bad sunburn and wore a tank top to work at AT&T. I was told it was inappropriate and I had to put on a shirt , or go home. The manager of the department had several girls wearing Halter tops, but he didn't mind that ! (Especially since he was dating one) ! I went over his head and went to HIS BOSS who told him if he wanted ME to either change , or go home then he would have to ask all the girls wearing halter tops to DO THE SAME ! Needless to say, I never changed, or went home ! YAY for MEN'S RIGHTS !

[@fourthgirl]

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

[@drweir]

Going through old catalogs online reminds me of how prevalent plaid was, especially plaid pants which apparently was required fashion if you were a kid.

[@RhettyforHistory]

It was certainly popular. Thank you for watching!

[@randallkoch6215]

I had a pair of plaid trousers I wore until they almost fell apart.

[@freden9234]

Oh, yeah! You just brought back the memory of my plaid corduroy bell bottoms. 😆

[@AngelDRose]

It’s funny how many of those fashions came back in the 90’s. Especially the late 90’s.

[@mayorb3366]

I bought my denim and corduroy jeans at The GAP. Back then they only sold Levi's labeled clothes. Most of us had "desert boots", gum soled swede leather with laces. 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. For a while we wore leather belt buckles with a nature picture painted on them. To all my fellow old farts out there...Keep on Truckin' !

[@RhettyforHistory]

Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories of fashion during the decade!

[@justmejenny7986]

I loved picking out a t-shirt and patch to have pressed on. I had a glitter Mystery Machine and Scooby Doo one that I loved. They should bring those back.

[@amymeyers9682]

I remember wearing the t-shirts with an open flannel or other button down shirt quite a bit.

[@samanthab1923]

My dad had Desert Boots. But moved on to Wallabees.

[@missyjohnson422]

Omg, earth shoes. No body says a word about them. They were the best !!!!

[@TheBoomerPlace]

Well,let me think. Graduated high school in 75 and college in 79. Yep, I remember all of this.

[@RhettyforHistory]

Thank you for watching Jerry!

[@helenwassmer3541]

Uh huh....🤭

[@dawndellarocco2362]

So do I. I graduated high school in 1979 and remembered all of these in the Sears catalogs. I ordered a lot of their Junior Bazaar clothes.

[@birdsfan57]

@@dawndellarocco2362 Yes! Sears and Junior Bazaar!😊

[@deliveryguyrx]

I was a teenager in the '70s, and I loved checking out the chicks at school or in the mall wearing halter tops and tube tops! I truly miss my high school sweetheart!

[@autumnhileman5453]

I loved watching this, it brought back so many memories of my childhood.

[@GoFarFarAway.]

My Glory Days, the best time to be a teenager!!!! My favorite was the Maxi Jean jacket that was designed by me with embroidered colored floss flowers🥰

[@AnnNunnally]

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.

[@RepentfollowJesus]

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.

[@Mbase-apollo]

The Parker winter coat was big ,and the starsky and hutch sweater. had to have that.

[@5DNRG]

Miss the thin 70s....and embraced almost every single bit of fashion shown here! OMG! What a ride thru my teens.

[@marionthompson3365]

Best decade! Never forget the end of 75 when flared jeans/pants suddenly went out of fashion. By early 76 the straight legged jeans came in and you weren't seen dead in flares after that lol!

[@LadyCoyKoi]

I still have some of these outfits from the 1970s. They are very flattering on most body types. Some of these are making a come back. 😎

[@RhettyforHistory]

Yes they are. Thank you for watching Juci!

[@devotedheart]

My Dad graduated college in the early 70s... saw their pics in bellbottom pants, hawaii patterned tops and Elvis like hairdos, with their guitars onhand...

[@joseleswopes1400]

I had quite a few of them, it helped that I could sew. My mom also sewed and made some of my school clothes. I remember making one of the jump suits and my prom dress, empire waist. I loved the hip hugger pants. I even had hot pants 💞

[@RhettyforHistory]

My mom made a lot of clothes for my family too. Back then patterns and materials were much cheaper than they are now. Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories Josele!

[@jenniferswieboda5696]

Thank you Claudia for sharing. Your testimony brought tears to my eyes

[@VickiCampbell-1216]

Ahh yes, some of my childhood fashion. 🧡I was always curious as to how fashion trends started. I guess fashion designers around the east and west coasts would see what the kids were wearing at club scenes which gave them ideas for trends. I miss the ol' tube top. Thanks, Rhetty. Always enjoyable to watch. 😊

[@RhettyforHistory]

You're welcome and thank you for watching Vicki! I do think that many trends come from someone or some people wearing it in certain areas.

[@aprilskutt974]

I was a little kid in the 1970s. I remember all of this stuff.

[@joanclare9788]

Oh how I remember GOGO Boots. I put on a pair of my moms when I was 12 and promptly fell down the steps and broke my arm. Sweet 70’s!

[@RhettyforHistory]

Ouch! Did you ever wear any after that? Thank you for watching and sharing a memory with us!

[@beverlyshane8433]

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.

[@brendaholliday6866]

Rhett, I enjoyed this video about fashion trends in the 70's, it brought back alot of memories. I wore a variety of the fashions that were in this video, including the shoes/boots. Great presentation and photos, too. Have a fantastic day. Take care 🐎

[@RhettyforHistory]

Thank you for watching and sharing what you used to have. I hope you have a great day as well!

[@keithhyttinen8275]

I remember the "cameltoe show" tight jeans craze of 1977-78. College was fun.

[@Kael62]

I only had 3 of these tube top, mood ring, and corduroys, but at my school we also HAD to have Colorado hiking boots and painter pants that could only be bought from a store in the stockyards in OKC.

[@RhettyforHistory]

Thank you for watching and sharing some of what you used to have!

[@jasonmiller6371]

We called the Colorado hiking boots "waffle stompers" where I grew up.

[@ItIsYourMom]

@@jasonmiller6371 yes, waffle stompers!

[@bravo3279]

Mini skirts was my fav 70s fashion 😍

[@kimmathis694]

Oh yeah the memories!!! I loved my bell bottoms best!

[@RhettyforHistory]

Thank you for watching and sharing what you loved!

[@gern7535]

Love the ladies who wore tube tops and halter tops.

[@DarDarBinks1986]

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

[@RhettyforHistory]

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