The 1960s
The mini-skirt was a symbol of rebellion against the older generation. It coincided with the feminist revolution, when many women questioned their traditional role as stay-at-home housewives.
The 1970's
The 1970s was very much the please-yourself decade. Minis, midis and maxis were all fashionable. Jeans and hippy styles were popular too.
The 1980's
As more and more women became involved in work outside the home and developed careers, their fashion reflected their desire to be taken seriously at work and they dressed accordingly. Suits with padded shoulders became popular.
The 1990's
Fashion took on a more streamlined look. Skirts were straighter and jackets were less bulky. Camouflage and fake furs beacame more popular.
