One model with a mullet and mustache throws a 'Blue Steel' pose as he models a velour dressing gown while another similar-looking chap stands confidently in a snazzy pair of bell-bottom trousers.
These are snapshots from a range of 1970s adverts showing the most popular men's fashions of the day.
High-waist pants, skimpy briefs, synthetic fabrics and psychedelic patterns seem to be in vogue - looks more suited to the fancy dress parties of today.

I don’t know where I first saw the dress but I had to have it. Mother never let me buy anything off the rack so I had to make everything myself. But wonders of wonders, a friend had a dress shop and got a shipment of freight damaged goods or something and asked mother to come look. I spied the dress! But it was on hold for the prom queen, la te freakin’ da, snort, couldn’t stand her. Well, she never came to pick it up so I got it! It was too large but I made it fit. A few years ago, a girl in our daughter’s class didn’t have a prom dress (long sad story) so she wore it and loved it, too.
“I think the 1970’s were the worst decade on record for men’s fashion!”
Lol. I didn’t have much trouble. I was wearing Navy dungarees and later, khakis. Although I did have one pair of scotch plaid bellbottom slacks that my wife made me wear - one time.
You too? Man, it’s a small world!
Search men’s wear at Amazon for “stand collar.”

If you went through the 70s you HAVE to read this classic. Hilarious commentary on a newly found JC Penneys catalog.
Wasn’t the name of the show Verne Lundquist did years ago?
My mother bought me a brown leisure suit and silky shirt that even then I refused to wear. I was in college from 72-76 and never saw anything like these guys, they must have been confined to Britain or NYC.
The 70s will not be remembered fondly for the fashion.
Left to Right - Reggie Smith, Ron Cey, Don Sutton, Davey Lopes, Bill Russell, Tommy Lasorda, Steve Yeager, Rick Monday, Steve Garvey and Dusty Baker.
Okay, now I see the influence on the FLOTUS wardrobe.
Hot pants, thats it. I could not come up with the name, but their image is seared into my memory.

Awesome! Thanks!
I have a pic of myself,man made fabric top,loud print bellbottoms,and my platform shoes————touring wineries in upstate New York.
We climbed many stairs—and it was very difficult,but no broken ankles.
I was a vision of loveliness.:-)

Mine was from the unused condom in my wallet.
Wish I would have thought of the Skoal dodge when my mom asked me about it.
Every chance I get.
I look like Rod Stewart - what the hell was I thinking?

As a young guy here in the 70’s all you ever really wanted to wear was Steeler gear.
i had a dress like that for prom, too. My sweetheart had a matching blue tux, which i still rib him about 2day.
