Fashion in the 1970s went through an experimental phase after the
psychedelic-style clothing from the ‘60s carried over. Much of the hippie style
had been integrated into the mainstream American society by the early ‘70s.
However, by the mid ‘70s, with the end of the draft and the Vietnam War, the
media lost interest in the hippie counterculture. Instead, there was a revival of the
mod subculture, and the emergence of new youth cultures like skinhead and punk
styles gained popularity.
