'70s Photos Showing Not Everything Was Straight Laced
Suits and ties were the norm in the 1970s, with people getting dressed to go to house parties, dance clubs, or the office in pretty much the same way. But that doesn't mean life in the seventies was boring at all. People started loosening up after the wild '60s, and color was becoming a fundamental element in everything from fashion to furniture. And sometimes, fashion and furniture would mix up to create clothes that looked like your drapes or your wallpaper.
So, here are some '70s photos showing not everything was straight laced as history wants you to think.
