ICONIC STYLES OF ’70s-’80s

Wide-legged and bell-bottom pants: Tailored wide legged and bell-bottom pants were a rage probably because the hippie culture had a big influence.

The pantsuit: With more women taking on office roles, it came across more as a political statement than a fashionable one in the late ’70s. Midi-length skirts: The fabric plays a key role in this classy look of the ’80s, so prefer fabrics that provide fluidity.
