FASHION IN THE 70'S
The early 1970s fashion scene was very similar to 1969, just a bit more flamboyant. It wouldn’t be hyperbole to say that a fashion revolution occurred in the 1970s.
Polyester was the material of choice and bright colors were everywhere. Men and women alike were wearing very tight fitting pants and platform shoes. By 1973, most women were wearing high cut boots and low cut pants. Early 1970s fashion was a fun era. It culminated some of the best elements of the 60s and perfected and/or exaggerated them. Some of the best clothing produced in the 1970s perfectly blended the mods with the hippies.
Just when it seemed pants couldn’t flare any more (bell bottoms, anyone?), the flare was almost gone. By the late 1970s the pant suit, leisure suit and track suit was what the average person was sporting. Every woman had a cowl neck sweater in her closet and every man had a few striped v-neck velour shirts. Tunics, culottes and robes were also very popular. Sometimes it’s hard to tell which dresses were meant to be worn at home, and which ones were for a night on the town. Chest hair, medallions, polyester, butterfly collars, bell bottoms, skin-tight t-shirts, sandals, leisure suits, flower patterned dress shirts, sideburns and, yes, tennis headbands. There is one common theme throughout fashion in the 1970s: pants were tight fitting. And it is probably the first full decade in which women could be seen wearing pants in every walk of life. It’s also hard to miss the fact that color almost completely disappeared by 1979. Earth tones, grays, whites and blacks were back in full force, as people had apparently tired of the super bright tones of the early 1970s.

This Is How You'll Be Doing The 70s Come Autumn

The 'decade of disco', the 'era of hippie', the Seventies, made itself known on the catwalks again this year. We saw flares, boho maxis, shearling coats and peasant blouses...
From Pucci to Burberry, Chloé to Balmain, the Seventies-influence is undeniable – with oversized jackets, billowy skirts and festoons of fringing, all featuring.

Flares are still in..
And The Beat Goes On... as does, thankfully, the flare. Jonathan Saunders has a particularly vibrant pair in scarlet, whilst Balmain's lace flared catsuits... miaow! Wide-legged trousers are 'in' too – the bigger and baggier, the better.

American Hustle Official TRAILER 1 (2013) - Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence Movie HD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST7a1aK_lG0
The 2013 film American Hustle is set in the late 70's and really projects the whole look of the 70's. Each character has a different look and style which represents the decade. I thought this film would be good to watch and have a look at the different hairstyles the characters had.
Amy Adams as Sydney Prosser

Sydney Prosser who is played by Amy Adams is one of the main con artists in the film and a gorgeous woman. Amy's character has quite a few hair changes throughout the film an works with quite different styles. This films style I adore and looks beautiful on her. The hair has volume, body and the curls a large, either done with tongs or large rollers to make sure the hair stays in place. The hair is slightly swept off the face and has a side parting which the fringe is full of volume and sweeps down the side of the face. I think her main hairstyle throughout the film is probably this one.

Another gorgeous look is when Sydney is at the grand hotel wearing quite a revealing silver glittery dress. This hair was also quite big in the 70's and could of been done with small sized curling tongs or small rollers left to set however the style is devine. This look is a once appearance look during the film, dressed up for an occasion. Sydney tends to wear her hair down pretty much the whole way through the film.
Jennifer Lawrence as Rosalyn Rosenfeld

Rosalyn who is played by Jennifer Lawrence tends to have her hair in some sort of up do throughout most of the film. In this photo she has all of the back in an up do, however its got a lot of volume and the hair has been curled all over with medium sized tongs. The side fringe sweeps across slightly and looks blow dried to give a sweeping fullness effect and the longer section of hair on the other side is just one ringlet. This whole look was also in the grand hotel and when Rosalyn confronts Sydney about her marriage in the powder room.

This style is another beautiful up-do Rosalyn has, I think the whole hair would of been washed, product applied and blow dried to give volume throughout the hair. All the back is pulled up loosely and the front is folded over into a quiff and gripped in the middle at the top of the head. I think this style looks very sophisticated and pulls it off the face however in a voluminous up-do.
