The 70s saw a plethora of different styles for both women and men, the latter including such gems as Double Denim, leather Jackets, curly perms and the ubiquitous platform shoes. Status Quo were avid exponents of the double (and even triple) denim. The so-called “Peacock Revolution” which started in the 1950s had made it acceptable for men to wear brighter colours, bolder prints and wear their hair long. While the suit continued to be a staple for many men, new, inventive styles were popularized. It started with a hippie 60s hangover – baggie tie-dye shirts and psychedelic prints, then a host of “wash and wear” synthetic materials led to many casual leisure clothes like tracksuits being worn outside of sports.
70s mens fashions
Bell-bottom trousers, characterized by a high waist, a tight fit through the thighs, and a flare beginning at the knees and extending outward, were paired with suits and wide collar shirts in varying patterns from loud florals to polka dot to checks and everything in between.
In the early 1970s, men’s fashion tried to emphasize a tall, lean figure. Turtlenecks, slim-fitting shirts, and tight-fitting flared pants all worked to popularize the silhouette. The safari suit, popularized by Roger Moore as James Bond, was a popular option in the summer: the light-coloured suit was worn belted and had large patch-pockets and came many variations of long- or short-sleeves and trousers or shorts.
Chunky cable knit turtleneck sweaters (often with matching belts or hats) preceded three-piece disco suits circa 1977’s hit flick Saturday Night Fever. As the decade progressed, the dominant menswear silhouette widened as double-breasted suits with wider shoulders and narrower legs and lapels came into fashion.
Right at the end, punk styles, as popularised by the Sex Pistols, emerged. Clothes were slashed and ripped, embellished with safety pins, zips and studs and T-shirts were printed with aggressive anarchistic slogans.
Hmmm. At this point I can’t decide if the large bias toward the rockier tracks is is more to do with my present-day tastes than 17-year-old me. But my criteria when ordering the top 13 involves putting myself back in my sixth form shoes and visualising which records I actually bought (or taped from the top 20 run-down on Sunday – come on, we all did it!) and listened to while doing my homework. Or the ones I danced around the kitchen to while making the evening meal for the family. And of course the ones I danced to in discos.

Leisure
So what, you may ask, did the women do while their menfolk were down the city every Saturday, or glued to the TV for hours (days) on end? There didn’t seem to be much concept of the “girls night out” back then, so some bright spark invented party selling. A simple concept, it saw groups of (female) family members, friends and neighbours gathering in someone’s home, often with teas and coffees or alcohol on hand, to enjoy a drink, a bite to eat and a few hours of conversation. More than buying and selling the kitchen containers, it was a chance for women to get together with friends and neighbours to catch up on family life, and enjoy some time away from the daily grind. I believe Tupperware parties were the first – held in 1949 by a single mom in Detroit. They’d certainly hit UK by the mid 70s, and it went on to spawn other sales: pottery, makeup and eventually in the early 80s Ann Summers products.
Some real big hitters this year, with Queen and 10CC, but the Glam Rockers are defo giving way and the epic Jive Talkin’ foreshadows the Bee Gees chart takeover a couple of years down the line.

And, as ever, the ones bubbling under – still the odd novelty song creeping up on my blind side.

You have 11 days left to pick up the third Calamity Chicks book – Linda’s Lament at the pre-order price of £2.22/$2.99.
Here’s the skinny:
Almost Famous meets10 Things I Hate About You with elements of Queen’s Gambit. How many twelve-year-old girls have toured the UK and Europe with a rock band? Lin thinks she’s pretty unique, but it comes at a cost. Firstly, as accidental witness to the antics of groupies, and secondly when she draws the attention of the band’s creepy manager. She’s pretty sure his daughter never gave those kind of squeezy hugs when she was alive, but if Lin tells anyone, her dad could lose his job.
Her mother’s outrage at an innocent childhood crush results in her incarceration in a super-strict convent school whose first priority is not teaching maths or English, but discipline. When she finally gets to the grammar school, she’s missed her chance with the only person who’s never made her feel fat, ugly or a nuisance, because he now has a lovely girlfriend.
At sixteen, after gruelling exams, the family holidays in Spain, where she meets a local lad with amore on his mind. Carlos is everything she isn’t – slim, beautiful and completely comfortable in his skin – and for some inexplicable reason, he seems to like her. She’s already missed out on one romance because of her unworthiness – should she go against her instincts and succumb to his expert seduction?
This cheeky piece of British nostalgia features plucky girls escaping from hairy situations, several handsome hunks, a whole lot of rock bands, and a couple of nasty villains. Feel free to boo and hiss.
Who can forget the bright blue eyeshadow that went all the way up to the eyebrows, bronze blusher and red lips in the early 70s? Eventually, common sense set in and it got more subtle as they lulled in au-naturel styles before the thick black OTT punk styles at the end of the decade.
As for hair – a bit of a cop-out, because I need to focus on Linda’s last few chapters, so I’ll let these awesome pix tell the story. I’ve included late 60s and early 80s, because they had so many iconic pix.
As soon as I can find it, I’ll credit the awesome website who did all the work for me this week!
Finally, at fourteen, I was allowed to go to the Friday night disco in my friend’s village hall and it felt so-oo glamorous and exciting. Proper grown up with all the older kids, including my first proper boyfriend. Glam Rock was still around, but for me this was when the soul stuff I loved started turning into disco with Disco Tex, KC and the Sunshine Band and George McCrae’s unforgettable Rock Your Baby. Somewhere in between we had the likes of Cockney Rebel, The Rubettes and Mud. C’mon, own up to putting those thumbs in your belt hooks to do the classic box-step to Tiger Feet.

At the start of the seventies, my folks owned a newsagent so, as you can imagine, I formed a very close relationship with chocolate.
How many of these do you remember? I think Mars Bars, Twix and Kitkat are still my favourites, although nowadays, I only allow myself one piece on a Friday, because they have no calories on that day.
As I remember, we used to have a weekly delivery from the “pop man” who would bring every imaginable flavour of Corona – I remember Cream Soda and Dandelion & Burdock being favourites.
Set menus were much more common at home – a hang on from the fifties after rationing finally stopped. Fish on Friday – usually from the chippy, or occasionally a “Chinky do” – we made our own dim sum by ordering half a dozen dishes from the local Chinese restaurant. Sunday was traditionally a roast, even in the summer – I can remember lazing on the back lawn with a small glass of sherry while the joint roasted.
Saturday saw dishes created from scratch using fresh ingredients – almost every recipe started with slicing an onion, and we had around a dozen different recipes we’d alternate. Quickest was bacon, onion and potato casserole, all the way through to a complex moussaka. Making a béchamel sauce from scratch was a real skill. On weekdays, we were more likely to open tinned vegetables with chops or a Fray Bentos pie – you opened the flat tin and the pale pastry rose to many times its thickness, turning golden brown. So many things came in tins from peaches and pineapple to semolina and hot dog sausages. No such thing as sell-by dates, we had enough tins in the cupboard to outlast a siege, and you only chucked them away if the lid began to bulge. And only then after opening them to make sure they weren’t still edible.
Those were the days! And yet, we had far fewer food allergies and eating disorders. The advent of Homepride cook-in sauces in 1974 meant one could do coq-au-vin or chicken in white wine sauce with very little prep. The early jars were a real treat, although we never understood the thing making them so tasty was a bunch of added salt and sugar.
Dinner parties: the fondue set was a must, along with cheese & pineapple hedgehogs, cheese straws, Twiglets, cocktail sausages, vol-au-vents and garlic mushrooms. No party was complete without a Quiche Lorraine (tomato and bacon), and people were inspired by holidays abroad – adding pizza, gazpacho and paella, and meals from Indian and Chinese restaurants, with Homepride helping to make chicken curry or sweet and sour pork.
Anyone who was there in the 70s will remember the classics: Prawn cocktail or Melon for starters, Mixed Grill or Steak, Black Forest gateau or lemon meringue pie. It was rare to find a vegetarian option, the attitude was “just don’t eat the meat.”
As you can tell by the long list of also rans, this was when I developed a massive love affair with music – mostly the rockier side of pop with oodles of Queen, Bowie, ELO, Fleetwood Mac etc.
Still hanging on to a stack of soul and a goodly amount of boppy ones – what can I tell you? I AM a dancer.
