Love and Fashion in the 1970s: Vintage Photos of Young Couples

In the 1970s, fashion was all about expressing individuality. Popular items included mini skirts, bell-bottoms (popularized by hippies), vintage clothing from the 1950s and earlier, and the androgynous glam rock and disco styles that introduced platform shoes, bright colors, glitter, and satin.

Tight on top and loose on bottom was the most famous silhouette of the mid and late 1970s for both genders. The era also witnessed the emergence of the indifferent, anti-conformist casual chic approach to fashion, which consisted of sweaters, T-shirts, jeans, and sneakers.

These vintage photos offer a glimpse into the fashion styles of young couples in the 1970s.
