The young in their jeans and their elder sisters in their menswear were the only females who seemed to know what to wear. Exceptions? More than we can list, but here is a try: Capes were back again and looking marvelous, as in Geoffrey Beene's navy wool yoked front and back and swinging in between; or Victor Joris' plaid Inverness for Cuddlecoat; or Halston's suede or cashmere cape with hood.

In 1971, extremely brief, tight-fitting shorts, called hot pants, were a fashion craze for girls and young women. This photo taken in 1974, shows a girl inspired by the British glam rock craze which had a brief influence on fashion. Another trend for both sexes was the fitted blazer, which flared slightly at the hip. For teenage girls and young women the crop top was often worn, sometimes with a halter neck or else tied in a knot above the midriff.
