If I wore anything like that it was not my fault as I was just a kid.

Having horrible flashbacks to my mom sending me off to school in a leisure suit she had bought at Kmart.

You can always date a movie by the clothes and the technology.

I wore boot cut denim jeans with a denim jacket.
T-shirts in summer, turtlenecks or sweaters in winter.

Could be worse. In one of my yearbook pictures I’m wearing a Nehru jacket.

LOL that one guy in the blue thermal underwear looks like a young Charles Krauthammer!

If I had any of those clothes in my closet I would rent them out for Halloween.

I think the 1970’s were the worst decade on record for men’s fashion! I’d rather go back to wearing togas than platform shoes, bell bottom pants and graphic shiny shirts!

Apparently, every man was gay in the 1970’s.
To: C19fan
As I recall, MOST of these crazy knits were not worn by real people in the 70’s.

Just went and looked at the article. That is absolutely the gayest looking bunch of men I’ve ever seen!

There was some weird fashion crap back in the early 70’s. Tried my best to keep it to Levi’s, chukka boots and hang ten shirts.

I lived it as a kid and young teen. Looking back through these ads, it honestly looks like some weird gay Star Trek on acid, but I don’t recall it being quite that bad. Oh yeah, it was bad enough, but most didn’t buy this stuff. I do recall guys wearing platform boots for a year or two, had a pair myself, lol. Those were some good years, too, though, wacky clothing aside.
To: C19fan
I was in the Navy and I liked bell-bottom pants. I wish that they would come back in fashion.

I’d really like to get one of those to wear at gigs (My band plays 50’s and 60’s rock)
