The 1970s were a fabulous time for fashion. From crop top shirts to the famous wrap dress by Diane von Fürstenberg, some of these trends are still in today.

This trend expanded to other styles, most notably the wedge heel (arguably the most popular women's shoe of the mid-1970s). Boots became rounder, chunkier, heavier, and thicker, and were more expensive than they were in the early 1970s.
