Remember platforms, oxford bags,men wore them too. Teddy bear jackets for the girls,mine was pink. Bring back the seventies fashion, and music was great wasnt it?I once sprained my ankle badly in a pair of platform shoes.and lost a heel.Oh happy days.

Nappies, then I moved on to romper suits. I think I had a little pair of dungarees by 1979. ;)

:blush: I loved my black velvet hotpants with my bright red satin big collared blouse

Take It U Was A Little Baby In The Seventies Then, What Did U Wear In The 80s Fashion.

i was not even born then :( so i didnt wear anything
WHAT WAS YOUR FASHION ERA THEN?

I had some platforms, they did help the us shorter kids, my favourite was a brown tank-top with 3 yellow stars on the front that was the bees-knees.


:hihi: :) :hihi:

I wore hot pants, platform shoes, long cardigans, lace up granny boots, white shiny boots, loons, kaftans, mini skirts, midi skirts, maxi skirts.........
It was a great era for fashion!

Make it a tie-dyed grandad vest and two-tone loon pants for me. :blush:

I cringe now just thinking about it.

Just thought of another, cheesecloth shirts, cost a fortune and must have cost nowt to make.
Were cowboy boots in the 70`s, just as lethal as platforms as I remember.

:loopy:

I Loved Those Blouses With Big Puffed Sleeves.and Skinny Rib Tops

I remember my sister's embroidered Afghan coat. Smelled like a wet cocker spaniel wearing patchouli.

I HAD A PAIR OF OXFORD BAGS IN RED TARTEN,THEY WERE MY MOST PRIZED POSSESSION.

Primary school days saw me in a number of tank tops, usually dullish browns and creams though I do think my wardrobe (ha! bottom drawer more like) might have yielded a red one!

T-shirts with Paddington Bear or a kid's comic on the front. And those transfers you could iron onto your own T-shirts ('Kids, get your parents to help you'). I had one done for me in Malta in 1979 with a big red Ferrari on the front. Wow!

Also, the good old Parker coat. Mine didn't have the furry lining (which made me envious of those whose did, naturally). I used to chew on the hood's drawstring and in time the plastic piece broke in half, fell off and the string would end up lost somewhere in the coat.

And who can ever forget the contents of one's PE bag? The smell of those rubber 'pumps' (mine were without laces: I only learned to tie my laces when I was 30*). And the unwashed t-shirt and shorts. Especially after you'd been out in the rain.

(* Okay, I fib. I was actually 8 or 9 by the time I overcame this little hurdle. These days we'd blame the E numbers in Tizer, so, that'll do for me.)

Very silly ones although I didn't think so at the time.

I seem to remember spending most of the 70's in jeans of various styles, and smock tops, or blouses with puffed sleeves under a short sleeved jumper. Ahhhh happy days!

The Music Was Great Too,glam Rock.eat Your Heart Out.absolutly Fab.

I wasn't born yet :D

I had an orangy brown leather safari jacket. Flared jeans. Tank top. Flowery shirt with big collar. Kipper tie highly decorated. Brown two tone platform shoes. And my regulation Mexican moustache and gelled hair.
Ride a white swan, baby!

Bought most of my stuff from Harringtons!

what clothes did i wear in the 70's
well platform boots in silver and gold with stars on them.
loon pants in all colours.
silk shirts complete with ruffles on the cuffs in all colours.
then it was my black leather bikers jacket with the group deep purple on the back.
scruffy lee jeans and platform boots with 6inch heels also a grandad vest or rock t shirt depending on the weather.
if it was snowing and cold then it was either my black SS coat or my trench coat what I got from the army store in the wicker.
most of my other gear was bought at sexy rexy's or pipins.
then it was skinhead clothes which lasted about 6 months I had still got my very long hair even though I use to wear skinhead clothes soon went back to being a hippy though and a motorbiker even though i never rode a motorbike being on plenty of them when we use to go to blackpool and see off the baby skinheads them who thought they could fight but turn tail and run like hell.

do u remember sexy rexys on the moor clothes shop.

Ho yes I do remember sexy rexy's on the moor but sexy rexy's didnt start on the moor he had is first shop at the back of C & A down to where the steel footbridge is now outside british home stores in waingate. he was there from about 1968 upto 1972 when he moved to the moor I use to go in there every saturday with out fail I use to spend well over a £150 on a saturday buying all my platform shoes and boots, all my shirts and t shirts from him even my loon pants with 30" bottoms on them. they was happy days but the best thing I ever bought from him and he had to order it from london was my bikers leather jacket complete with tassles on it, it cost me £125 and it lasted me for well over 20 years I can even see the shop now and all the gear he had outside and in. I wonder what ever happened to him and I wonder if he is still alive now, mind you in this day and age I would think he would be gone now but that was the place to go for all the good clothes in this follower of fashion.

Up to late Seventies - star jumper, tank tops, hipsters, blue and I mean blue jeans, flared of course. I use to love sneekers and snake belts. I had a great pair of platform shoes - green with hints of blue and red.
The I became punkish or at least tried to be on my low budget. Ripped jeans, drainpipe. Army jackets, blue leather jacket, long grandad shirts. Winkle pickers, loafers or a pair of sneekers with holes of course. Topped off with a 'Big Coat' from Chatterbox on London Road

I was a scruffy get and still am!!

Teabag, your user name has just reminded me about the coat I had in the late seventies. It was what we knew as a 'blanket coat' can't remember why but the one I had was grey patterned and almost a square shape hence I used to get called teabag.

Like most the usual clothes, flairs, star jumper , tank tops and platforms.I also had a "Budgie" jacket If you didnt see the series Budgie in the seventies with adam faith in then youl have no ideawhat im on about????:hihi: :hihi:

Oh yes!:thumbsup:

I also remember the teddy bear jackets, cheese cloth shirts, gypsy skirts the first time round!, 'grandma' shoes, maxi and midi skirts/dresses. I also remember wearing pencil skirts with footless tights and high heels when I was about 15:gag:
Oh happy days!:D

I wish I had some photo's! From '73 to '77 I was dressed in the height of fashion. I had some 5" platforms (the were a pleasure to wear:suspect: ), Oxford or Birmingham bags, Shirts with Dumbo collars and jumpers with some odd designs incl' my fave, the star jumper. Punk then came along and so my dress sense went from very ridiculous to, er, very ridiculous. Although I did love my Punky bit. All mainly OxFam stuff and sneakers on the feet (a bit more comfier than the platforms) Happy days:)

I think my wardrobe was limited to nappies and the odd babygro. I was born in 1979.

I had weebles to play with though. Anyone remember them? I had the pig and the cow and the sheep. They wobble but they don't fall down!

I had these ace little pink hotpants with brown edging, they were the best!

Aw, you were born in '79? Do you get sick of people talking about the AMAZING summer we had in 1976? :hihi:

I also remember weebles, never owned them though. :)

I remember being very proud of my Falmers jeans with ENORMOUS flares. I used to wear them with some kind of cheesecloth top and strings of love beads. Thank goodness no photos have survived.

For school I must have had the identical coat to Anj1364 coz I was also called teabag when I wore it!

And I remember the hot summer of 1976. Scary to think my eldest daughter is now the same age I was then...

nappies,!!!!! oh and Segasonic I also had dungarees.but that must have been 80's.!!

Yeah - I've definitely heard that Summer mentioned once or twice...:rolleyes:

I remember a skirt with broderie anglaise stitched round the bottom - it would have been the height of couture this year.

The overridding fabric for me in the seventies was nylon and crimplene. As a child i passionately hated both. I remember being sent for my school photo at 7 wearing a green and orange striped nylon shirt and snot green crimplene trousers. I tried sneaking a pretty dress to school but my nan was having none of it. She also tied back my beautiful long hair and I was at the gappy teeth age! I went from having a really cute picture the year before to having one I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I also took it as a bad sign that i was no longer on the front row in the middle of the group photo but somewhere on the back at the side. Apparently I purposely got paint all over the outfit later that day so I'd never have to wear it again.
My mum (who'd been at work when my Gran's makeover began) went mad at my Gran and me and the next year I went with my hair Rapunzel style wearing a Heidi dress.

Do shoes count? In 1974 I bought a pair of cowboy boots, leather soles stack heels and square toes.....................and i'v still got 'em

my mum's maternity gear, cos I was only a bump in 1979.

I was still a kid in the 70's but i remember thinking i looked so cool in my nylon brown charlies angel bell bottomed jump suit with a front zip :love: , however, revewing the old photos i now realise i was sadly mistaken :blush:
but wat the hell, it was the 70's ... every1 looked a wally :thumbsup:

anyone remember those big smock type dresses with the elastic on the top and sleeves.
