The Worst 70’s Fashions?

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

His and Hers
One thing is getting matching wedding rings, even his and hers luggage may be acceptable if you’re French. Wearing matching leggings in multi-plaid is not acceptable people! Surely one of the worst trends from the 1970s.

70s Suits
I know it says you can mail the coupon for a free catalog, but that was from the 1970s. Don’t be disappointed, though, because you can find clothes like these at thrift stores that have been hanging around there every since these models took them off!

Sexy 70s Fashion?
Most men probably think this 1970s style is particularly hot. However, women find it to be one of the worst styles because it objectified them. Not to mention, no woman wants a skirt so short her underwear hangs out. Britney Spears would be all over this style, though. Wait, I think she already is.

Big Hair and Sweater Vests
The style of the clothing in this photo is completely overshadowed by the huge hairstyle. Wow, who knew white women could have a fro like that?

The Brady Bunch
How many men these days would be willing to wear a skin tight pair of pants not to mention a white pair of skin tight pants? Mike Brady and at least one of his sons are wearing white pants in this Brady Bunch photo. Here’s hoping white pants for men stay in the 1970s!

Two Toned Shirts
What is up with the white shirt with dark collar and cuffs? This is a horrendous style that couldn’t have stayed popular too long. At least hopefully that was the case!

Funky Shoes
These shoes are certainly funky and overall they are just ugly!

Slack Suits
The huge collar and super high cuffs on this shirt is just overbearing. It makes the suit look feminine. The solid color is pretty bad, too. I don’t know which style on this slack suit is worse, but the whole ensemble should stay in the past.

Montgomery Ward’s Fashion Magazine
Check out the different fashions that were offered in this 1976 edition of Montgomery Ward’s magazine. You will see some styles that are just awful, especially the super high waisted pants and that canary yellow ensemble towards the end. Wow!

Knit Jump Suit
Just the name of this makes it sound awful, but seeing it in person shows you how bad it really is. Add the two tone suit and this guy looks like a joker in every sense of the word!

High Heels for Men
Are you kidding? These are high heel shoes for men! Sure the likes of Tom Cruise are hoping for this style to make a comeback, but the average sized men and taller are cursing the idea that men should wear high heels…. Ever!

Is this a Suit?
This guy looks like he is going to be hanging out in the house, but this is really a suit. This truly adds a new twist to “Big Pimpin”. Seriously….

White Pin Striped Vest Suit
There should be no vest suits. But, to make matters worse, the ‘70s had white pinstriped vest suits with belts. Oh, this trend is horrendous and just looking at this photo is hysterical.

Paisley Jumpsuit
Both paisleys and jumpsuits were popular in the 1970s. Both were a big mistake!

There are of course many other ‘70s fashions that should stay in that decade, but they are beginning to make a comeback. These include high waisted paints, shift dresses, and more. What goes around comes around so don’t be too shocked if you see any of the styles posted here hanging in your local retail store one day soon!
