I wore boot cut denim jeans with a denim jacket.
T-shirts in summer, turtlenecks or sweaters in winter.
In the 70s, I wore jeans. Sometimes Levi 501, but mostly a cheaper version sold at JCPenny. T-shirts, button down shirts with collars, sneakers. During the late 70s, I mostly switched to cowboy boots. About the only item in the article I owned was a crew neck sweater, and I still have a couple. Sweatshirts. Denim or leather jackets.
Hated bell bottoms, polyester anything, burnt orange and avocado green ANYTHING.
But I lived in Arizona and Utah during that decade, and didn’t have any more desire to travel to the big cities then than I have now. The article pretty much proves there have been stupid dorks hanging around for years...
