to catch on quickly. Some of the many fashions
includes bell bottoms, hot pants, skirts, suits,
and some even dared to go butt naked. In fact,

1970s fashion, which began with a continuation of the mini skirts and go go boots, bell-bottoms the mods, and the androgynous hippie look from the mid-late 1960s, was soon sharply characterized by several distinct fashion trends that have left an indelible image of the decade commemorated in popular culture. These include platform shoes which appeared on the fashion scene in 1971 and often had soles two to four inches thick. Both men and women wore them. Wide-legged, flared jeans and trousers were another fashion mainstay for both men and women throughout most of the decade, and this style has been immortalize in the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever, which starred John Travolta. The "disco look", complete with three-piece suits for men and rayon or jersey wrap dresses for women, which the film further popularized. Platform shoes gave way to mules and ankle-strapped shoes, both reminiscent of the 1940s, at the very end of the decade.
