Fashion is referred to a "mirror of our times" because when looking at certain time periods you can understand what was happening in their world. Like 70's disco fashion, it was also a time of letting go and being free, the rise of physdelics,anti war, and activism. You can also go back to the period times where ladies wore corsets and dresses bigger than they could walk in, and men wore pants and jackets. In that period we can see that womens fashion constricted them to the house, and men wore suitale clothing to work.
