Fashion of the 70's
The 70's is a very... shady time for fashion. High wasted flared jeans, smart haircuts, tinted glasses and multicolored slim fitted shirts were all the rage. So I've drawn inspiration from various pop icons and films made in/about the 70's:

Idea 1:
This look is inspired by Jim Morrison specifically the coat he wore during his film, "HWY An American Pastoral". Also a plain white shirt, blue tight jeans, and a Medallion. This is more of a casual look for the 70's which could still pass of for a normal look today; this might be good in balancing the 70's themes in a modern world.
















Idea 2:

This Look is inspired by early customization of denim jackets. The jacket features Woodstock patches, Peace and love badges, Harley Davidson Patches, and Beatles badges. The shirt has a variety of small multicolored patterns on it, and the jeans are the same as idea 1. However i feel like this look wasn't entirely popular until the early 80's despite it presence in the 70's rock scene.

Idea 3:

 This last Idea was partly based off William H. Macy's character 'Little Bill' in 'Boogie Nights'. Changing the color of the turtleneck and the suit jacket, while also having black trousers, at the same time bringing back the medallion to make it look more, 'Disco'. This look is far more formal/party instead of informal/casual. The yellow tinted glasses are also borrowed of the look of Hunter S. Thompson, a legendary reporter of the decade.
