Questions About 70s Swim
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, you can swim wearing most Rolex watches because the Swiss luxury watchmaker's timepieces tend to be waterproof. However, the depth that you can safely dive to while wearing one varies, making it important that you consult the water-resistance information etched onto the back of the case or detailed in the watch's papers before you swim. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Rolex watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes. All modern Rolex watches, including the Datejust, are built with a water-resistant Oyster case that can be worn in the shower, a pool or even the ocean. Rolex warns wearers to ensure that the winding crown is screwed down tightly before swimming with their watch and recommends rinsing with fresh water after ocean exposure. Vintage watches may need refurbishing before water exposure to ensure the water-resistant features are still intact. On 1stDibs, find vintage and contemporary Rolex watches from some top worldwide sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    The sunglasses that were popular in the 70s were those that were large and often square in shape. A popular 70s style was the aviator style. Many of the 70s style glasses were characterized by colored lenses and funky frames. Shop 1970s sunglasses and other vintage sunglasses on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

    In order to dress for a ‘70s party, it is important to dress in the styles of the day. Namely, opt for bell-bottom jeans, polyester tops, shirts and jackets with wide lapels, peasant tops and halter tops. Additionally, choose bright colors and patterns such as tie-dye.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    From crinkle boots to platform boots, there were many different styles of boot found in the 1970s. One of the most popular and famous styles from the time was the go-go boot which first rose to prominence in the 60s. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage boots from the 1970s from some of the world’s top boutiques.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, the maxi dress was very popular in the 1970s. This was a strange transitional era for women’s clothing as they left behind more modest clothing and embraced a risque approach to style. This meant that in the 1970s maxi dresses sat alongside miniskirts in the same closet. Shop a collection of 1970’s-inspired vintage clothing from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024
    There are a few options for how you should dress for a ’70s party. You can go for the hippie look with dramatic bell-bottoms, fringed jackets and vests and embroidered blouses, or try a sporty look by pairing a vintage tee with high-waisted, button-fly flared jeans and clogs or platform shoes. For a straight-from-the-disco aesthetic, look for surplice and halter dresses decked out in sequins. Men can make a 1970s-inspired statement with a leisure suit or bell-bottoms matched with a turtleneck. Aviator sunglasses are great accessories for both men and women. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of 1970s apparel and accessories.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
