Fashion - 1970s: Skirts for flirts. The wrap-around skirt is tops for summer bottoms
Fashion - 1970s: Skirts for flirts. The wrap-around skirt is tops for summer bottoms. This is the year of the skirt which opens as you walk and makes men wonder just how far the split will go. South Sea Island girls were the first to realise that the wrapped sarong style was the skirt to flirt in. They had no sips or buttons and needed to shed their clothes quickly, or so Hollywood films would have us believe. Todays sarongs are made in uncrushable man-made fibres that will fit you before and after a three-course dinner. Particularly if you tear them with stretchy leotards. Wrap-over...cotton rayon skirt with matching ruched top. April 1979 P017331

Skirts for flirts: A glimpse into 1970s fashion. This print captures the essence of the era, showcasing the iconic wrap-around skirt trend that took summer bottoms by storm. The year was all about skirts that opened up as you walked, leaving men intrigued and wondering just how daring the split would go. Inspired by South Sea Island girls who first embraced the wrapped sarong style, this flirtatious skirt became a symbol of freedom and femininity. Hollywood films perpetuated the notion that these skirts were perfect for quick shedding with their absence of zips or buttons. Fast forward to today, modern sarongs are crafted from uncrushable man-made fibers that effortlessly mold to your body shape before and after indulging in a three-course dinner. Pair them with stretchy leotards for an added touch of allure. In this particular image, we see a stunning model donning a wrap-over cotton rayon skirt matched with a ruched top. It's April 1979, and fashion is at its peak. The vibrant colors and playful patterns reflect the spirit of an era defined by self-expression through clothing. Transport yourself back in time with this mesmerizing piece from Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection – an ode to timeless style and unforgettable moments.
