Because there's fashion, and then there's fashion. The baddest, most stylish soul brother this side of Dolemite's afro is about to roundhouse kick his way onto your boob-tube. Make way for Black Dynamite, Sundays at 11:30, only on Adult Swim.

I guess there won't be many men here willing to admit to owning a powder blue jumpsuit.  :-)

I can imagine the BO that gets trapped under there after a hot day of selling Quaaludes and planning swingers parties.

I have never understood why folkes wear belts on outerwear.

You nedd a belt to hold your trousers up...fine.

but a sweater?

And ladies, for what it's worth...a dress with a belt that holds up nothing?  :???:

Reminds me.

25 years ago, a young fellow that thought he was a babe magnet walked into a bar with a skin tight "Biker Suit" on. The barmaid and waitresses were all laughing and I turned to see what was so funny. He was standing near me just as proud as he could be. I looked him up and down and told him, "Next time don't forget your dick".
He got bright red, mad as hell and left in a huff. :lmao: :lmao:

Good.....................Lord.

You can tell the 70's is when LSD really came into vogue.

Glad I'm young enough to have been a child through this calamity.

Of course, the '80's had parachute pants.

Parachute pants, Jams, high tops, and a fascination with bright neon and pastel colors.  It wasn't much of an improvement.

I hate to say it...but I graduated from high school in 1976. I though many of those outfits were cool.

I wore a powder blue leisure suit.
I had ties as wide as a bib.
I had a gold balloon sleeve shirt with a collar almost as wide as my shoulders.
All my pants were flares.
I has zip up half boots.

and the 70's gals thought I was totally hot.

Please take pity on me.

I graduated in '77. All Through HS I wore blue jeans, plaid shirts and a jean Jack with either engineer boots or dingo boots. Never succumbed to the disco craze,always been a rocker. Had hair down to the middle of my shoulder blades up to the night before I left for the MEPS center.

We were more angsty with the resources to match ie we couldn't afford much. Most of my friends were Coast Guard brats and skater/punk was so much easier to pull off on our budgets.  :-)

To this day I wear jeans until they are so far gone that homeless people would reject them.  When they get too bad to wear in public, then they become work jeans.

I do the same thing and my mom breaks my back about wearing dirty clothes.

I washed them last week. :whatever:

After seeing those picture you can almost here the 70's porn music in the background. I will bet that that is what Stinkbait over at DU has for work close when he goes to collect the money from his renters.

When I was about in the 10th  grade I got a pair of hand me down 501 jeans from an older brother,he had wore them for years. I wore the jeans for about 10 yrs then made them into shorts and wore them for about 10+/- yrs. They had patches on patches and looked like hell but there was something about them,they were the most damn comfortable shorts to wear. I think my ex celebrated when I finally relegated them to the rags bin.  :-)

501's...I still like them, although they've become ungodly expensive.

This pic was my favorite--all the more so since it was one of the major catalogs, and yes, ladies--that hat IS for sale...
