Capturing Style: 30 Rediscovered Photographs Illuminate the Fashion Trends of Teenage Girls in the 1970s_Au Memories

Teenage girls’ fashion in the 1970s continued the “do-your-own-thing” look of the late 1960s for the early years of the decade.

 

Girls’ clothing styles were dominated by the disco look during the latter half of the 1970s. Girls’ clothes transitioned from costume-like hippie garb to styles influenced by disco party dresses, evening wear and the preppie look.

Towards the end of the decade, the decadent punk look began to catch on.

These found photos from Steven Martin that show what teenage girls looked like in the 1970s.
