Groovy Style: a free online word search

Seventies fashion word search with flares, platforms, and the kind of color-blocked boldness that made the 1970s impossible to ignore.

About Groovy Style

The seventies dressed to be noticed. Trousers swept the pavement in great denim or corduroy flares, collars spread wide across patterned shirts, and platform soles lifted heels to dizzying heights. Colour was unapologetic, burnt orange, mustard, and chocolate brown, and a kaftan or a poncho was as likely to appear on the high street as in a festival field. It was an era that treated getting dressed as its own kind of performance.
