i agree that many of the sixties fashions have something of a "timelessness".what dates the show more are some of the colorations(lime green being a favorite)and the beauty trends(think falls and false eyelashes).
fashionwise the show probably ended at the perfect time.some of the trends of the mid-to-late seventies would not have served our characters well at all.colorwise the palette shifted towards nuetrals and earthtones and those would play as drab against the interiors.the psychadelic color combinations of the sixties made for more of an interesting juxtaposition.also hemlines went to mid-calf and then it was pants...and what's a s.y.t. on d.s. without a mini?and can you imagine frye-boots,gauchos and even(gasp!)jeans?
and oh those seventies "do's"!carolyn with a 'dorothy hamill'?vicki 'farrah fawcett-style'?maggie with a crimped perm a'la barbara streisand in "a star is born"?i think not!
