Men's 1970's fashion

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

It was great, wasn't it

 

[Cheshire Cat]

there is NOTHING wrong with 24 inche flares, high waistbands, and lapels that look like albatross wings.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

That's worrying. I'm sure I used to have that two piece thing that Borat is wearing

 

[origigull]

I never wore any of that rubbish. Mine was two-tone strides, brogues and Ben Sherman shirts, levi jeans and occasionally DMs. Saying that I did wear tank tops - well it was the 70s, oh and I did wear a Starsky & Hutch cardie for a while.

 

[lawros left foot]

40 inch bottom high waist baggies,3inch platforms, pear drop collar shirts, with a Homepride Flower Grader motif pattern, two coloured(purple and beige) leather bomber jacket.

Jeez, I looked like a right dick

Last year at a school near Bevendean we went to Switzerland with Dorothy Stringer girls.
We wore Ben Sherman shirts Sta-press trousers Doc Martins boots Elastic braces.
I had really long hair tho

Some 70s Swedish dance bands putting on the style. Excellent name for the last group.

Easy to pick out some of the worst examples and make fun of them. There's plenty of stuff just as excruciating from the 80s, 90s and beyond. Yes, there's a lot of 70s looks I wouldn't go for now (the haircuts were pretty awful!) but I still own two lovely jackets from the 1970s which would still look good today (a view endorsed by teenage and twenty something daughters).






Unfortunately, they are now several sizes too small for me............................

I would very much like to know if any of you chaps ever wore such a garment

 

[Boroseagull]

To my eternal shame and embarrassment I own up to 2, yes 2, safari suits in the early 70's. Will I ever be forgiven?

Extreme left is Dave Brock of Hawkwind obviously doing a bit of moonlighting to pay for the Space Ritual tour, not so sure what Marty Feldman is doing there though...

 

[Theatre of Trees]

Probably not the most practical if you are desperate for a sit down.

Teenager in the 70's, so escaped that fashion disaster

I think, if you post a picture, yes. 100%.

Sta-press trousers:

how long was it before they split at the seams? were they shiny?
