The messy and fantasy styles of the 1970s have been making their return in 2025—and they don’t seem to be going anywhere. But is it deeper than romanticizing the past? It might be.
The return of certain 1970s aesthetics might not be the best sign. This was a decade of political upheaval and cultural chaos—when the world felt uncertain and people were searching for peace in any form they could find it. Music, drugs, and fashion became forms of escape, small windows of freedom in a time that felt heavy and unpredictable.
It was less about style and more about surviving and control. Fast-forward to today, and we’re living through something eerily similar. The world feels unsteady again, and once more, it’s showing up in what we wear just as it did decades ago.
