    Nope, we couldn’t afford 8 bucks for one outfit that I would grow out of within the year.

    I wore lots of jeans and t-shirts. Dirt cheap.

    Which is why I don’t wear them now. Hated wearing them.

    Similar, but my flares were wider and I had longer hair that made me look like a girl.

    Well, that would be the Disco era.

    I was about 25, fresh out of the Army, and my usual clothing was blue jeans. and some kind of button down shirt. The Chicago DJ, Steve Dahl, was about to declare the “Disco Sucks” era, which killed “Disco” clothing. Good, thing, too.

    I’m a little surprised these are from the 70′s. I seem to remember striped bellbottom pants were from the psychedelic drug era, circa late 60′s. Fashion nightmares like this should never last more than a few months, and several years is just WAAAAAYYY too long.

    I had clogs, bell bottoms and dressed very hot. Girls wanted me pretty bad too. Republicans wore white shirt and tie. Now they wear off-white shirt and tie.

    What’s worse, grown men wore prints like this.

    I had a burnt orange trimmed double-knit leisure suit I was particularly fond of.

    And Kelso earth shoes.

    Oh the shame.
    It was not a pretty era.

    Nope, I was way taller than those kids were (and older too).

    I was one of the strange ones that thought dressing like that was stupid looking…

    #9 RSweeney, your mention of the leisure suit just triggered some painful memories. I wish they were just psychedelic flashbacks, but alas they were real.

    I think a good idea for graphic software would be the capability to automatically change the apparel on any photo subject at will. That way, you could take your kids on a stroll down memory lane while the shame of what you really wore would remain your secret ;-)

    The only people who dressed like this were the members of the Osmond family.

    Beats the Miami Vice look of the 80′s.

    White suit w/ shoulder pads FTW

    10% of all males are colour blind in the red and green spectrum. The boy on the left is wearing a pattern of grey dots.
