Clubwear

The scene of the film when the movies visit the brothel/disco club is a turning point. Not only for Laurent and his life, but for the fashion in the film. He makes his transition into manhood while the movies' fashion matures, as well. He is spending time with older women, who's job it is to look sexy. The boys dress in their most preppy clothes for the night, wearing dinner jackets and sport coats, sweater vests, and ties.


This scene is also a great display of the general trends of the time. Take a look at the colors, shapes, and accessories worn by the women in the screenshots.


Reds, blues, and browns are popular, as well as metal-buckled belts and wide necklines. Large earrings or necklaces accent the facial features of the women.

Opposite of the '70s, women were much more empowered to wear what they wanted without restrictions to form fitting dresses with a tightly cinched in waist. Thin sweaters and trousers were much more popular, as you can see in the screenshots above.
