Colorful Women's Street Fashions in the Early 1970s

Although the hippie look was widespread, it was not adopted by everyone. Many women still continued to dress up with more glamorous clothes. Other women just adopted simple casual fashions. More simple early 1970s trends for women included fitted blazers (coming in a multitude of fabrics along with wide lapels), long and short dresses, mini skirts, maxi evening gowns, hot pants (extremely brief, tight-fitting shorts) paired with skin-tight t-shirts, his & hers outfits (matching outfits that were nearly identical to each other), and flared pants.

Pastel colors were most commonly used for this style of clothing, such as mauve, peach, apple green, pink, yellow, white, wheat, camel, gray, and baby blue.

  7. My 2 girlfriends and I are in Photo 22, we've been waiting 45 years to see a photo of us at Woodstock, and love the title of this article. Don't remember that we all wore the same tshirt or had our hair the same, very sweet 19 year olds. Thank you, and if there are more photos of us, or you know the photographer PLEASE pass on the info. By the way we're all still beautiful women with style 😉

  10. You have to remember the counter culture was really reserved for the "hip" back then. Most of the people who attended were from middle class NYC and in college. After Woodstock "hip" slid down the social scale.
