Fashion is a big thing in punk history.
Punk fashion, such as it is (and many Punks are anti-fashion) is characterized by the color black, leather jackets, studs, chains, heavy work boots, and short or unusual (such as mohawk, spiked, and skinhead) haircuts. Sometimes the hair is dyed unusual colors. Band stickers and punk slogans distinguish punk leather jackets from those of other subcultures. Appearances, however, are diverse, not uniform: clothes do not make a Punk.

Female Fashion 1970's
Well, in fact it was more of a deliberate attempt at anti-fashion...torn and slashed clothing; vinyl; bondage gear; outrageously dyed, spiked and otherwise tortured hair; combat boots and safety pins...and who could ignore the deliberate attempts at taking something typically "female" -- make-up or fishnet stockings, for example -- deliberately re-arranging and bastardizing them, then shoving them back in society's shocked face as a complete mockery of traditional feminity and female sexuality!

Fashion in General
Back in 1975 punks were the scourge of society: they were confrontational, and they demanded attention with their shaved heads, day-glo colored Mohawks, silver studded and spiked leather jackets, torn stockings, combat boots and body piercing. This was unlike anything the civilized world had ever seen.
