Disco Era
1976 was the Bi-Centennial of America. Maxi-length skirts were appropriate for the celebrations of the past and appeared in the everyday fashion catalogues. Above the knee skirts were also acceptable. Polyester was the carefree fabric of the decade and was used for leisure suits for men and pantsuits for women. Hot pants were sleak and slim as were loud, even clashing colors. Designer labels adorned the outside of clothing. Long flowing hair, afros, and mohawk hair styles fit the punk rock scene but also made their way into the mainstream styles. Platform shoes were back.
