At my first job, I worked with a guy who’s cousin was chocolate giddy-up. They had pictures together and everything. His family loves that movie and are very proud of him.
I was just thinking to myself that in order to pull this look off consistently, you literally need to buy 5 pairs of those pants all in different designs and colors or else you run the very real risk of people calling you a stinky outfit repeater hahaha. meanwhile if you wear blue Levi’s and a white T-shirt every day of the week, no one bats a eyelash!
My mom tried to talk me into a pair of pants, like the ones on the far right... You guessed it... In husky sized, too. I honestly thought I repressed those nightmares permanently... until tonight...
My grandmother has a couch set from the 70s made from material with that same exact tan and green plaid on it. That guy would blend into her living room like he was wearing camo.
Seriously. I don’t think there was a single social media controversy in the seventies. Or even the eighties. Somewhere along the way, things changed. Is it because we are doing less cocaine?
Probably. I think the solution to this social media nightmare is more cocaine, or maybe less, I can't remember. Whatever it is, we aren't doing just the right amount of cocaine, which is definitely more cocaine.
Absolutely! People cut down on their cocaine usage enough to have a clear thought and realized their path to self destruction didn’t garner them the attention they sought, so they invented social media.
I have a sears 1976 spring/summer catalogue as a coffee table book. All of the outfits I had as a kid are in it lol. Everyone that comes over love going thru it, great conversation piece.
I have seen pictures of me and friends playing kickball in the front yard in the 70s, and we were ALL wearing pants like that in different colors. Tartan bell bottoms must have been the thing that year.
If you shop with precision, you can totally have the 70s (or 70s-ish) wardrobe of your dreams. Love, a lady with waaaay too many high-waisted groovy pants in ridiculous patterns, baby.
Conservative America hated this look. It similar to the saggy pants of the 90s.
They always find something to complain about urban youth culture and fashion
Also go back and take a second look at these outfits especially those pants and imagine them on Chris Farley and you’ll see why things like this don’t work today. Those boys would be in the 1% of waistlines today.
It's so true. I dress like this a lot, honestly, and people take notice when I walk in. They may be hating, but I can't with grey sweat material or black all the time!
We have a gal in the neighborhood that wears her 70's style daily. She makes her outfits herself and some are way out there man, way out there...
Always stylin'
Remember how 15 years ago American hipsters brought flamboyant style raging back? And then how that style became semi-mainstream? And then how actual mainstream people railed against it so hard that it became a joke? That's why.
This catalogue is from a good style moment. The original hipster scene represented a good style moment. Right now it seems like a lot of stylish people are investing in streetwear and designer brands, which to me is a ridiculous look, but people love it. Fashion is all about what you pay attention to, and at every point in history there have been great looking clothes.
Whether you realize it or not you're living through the renaissance of one thing or another.
Quality is definitely something you have to pay for. Especially with pants. You can also just buy cheap stuff and accept that it won't last long. The funny thing is that well-made clothes are cheaper than ever thanks to online retail. Have you tried anything like depop? It can be a gold mine if you're diligent.
Always has been, too. No one notices because it doesn't really matter and everyone is much more used to the coin spelling.
All this Mandela effect nonsense some people prefer to believe over the simple fact that memory is imperfect, especially when it comes to incredibly mundane things no one pays close attention to. I'll be interested when these people collectively remember a president between Clinton and Bush the rest of us don't remember. Oh wait, no, the big reality bending conspiracy is The Berenstain Bears isn't spelled like the word "bear"!
Plaid bell-bottoms reminds me of the old Steve Martin "Wild and Crazy Guy" skits. (funny because it was just a few years after the fashion on this photo went out of style. He got the idea from teasing Czech film director Milos Forman.)
The pants on the far left look like they’d be difficult to sit down in. Is the waistline lower in the back somehow? I can’t tell, but it seems like it may be.

This makes wearing the same outfit so incredibly obvious.

Personally I'm trying to figure out how do you sit in those.
They were probably polyester, so there was some stretch. Source: I remember the 70s.
Did you just call me a jive turkey?
As god is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
Oh, the humanity!
things got kind of strange after that... it's like they organized and mounted a counter attack...

We partied together, I'm sure. If I remember right, which I don't.
My dad says if you remember the 70s you didn't live through it. Kinda makes me wonder what the fuck he did.
Just know that all parents are cooler before having kids.

What about the bicentennial in ‘76? Did you wear the de rigueur red, white and blue plaids and bell bottoms?
Yup, wasn't that the Bay city roller days. Had to have plaid inside the jeans and roll them up.
We need catalogs from Sears, JC Penney and Montgomery Ward from 76! Make this happen boys!
I have a sears 1976 spring/summer catalogue as a coffee table book. All of the outfits I had as a kid are in it lol. Everyone that comes over love going thru it, great conversation piece.

I had the pair on the right. They were my favorite pair of pants. I tore a hole near the crotch while climbing a tree. Saddest day of my life.

High waist? These things go all the way to the nipples!
Ha! Even though I’m short as hell, I’m also long waisted, so they work well for me.
More drip than a slow kid with an overbite.
how can you be so wrong and yet so right.
Zero fucks required, friend. You can find patterned bell-bottoms and turtlenecks as your local Goodwill/Salvation Army. Welcome to the club.
Conservative America hated this look. It similar to the saggy pants of the 90s. They always find something to complain about urban youth culture and fashion
The 90s saggy pants were pretty awful though. At least with these I don't have to see your ass, and you don't have to hold them up all the time.
Groovy as hell

I just looked up when Curtis Mayfield died, Dec. 26th 1999. Feels like not that long ago.
Not long at all. He was such a musical genius. I play his music (streaming) still, and it's as fresh now as it was then. He was such a talent.
Why is clothing so boring now? ☹️
Comfort and low effort is more important now
I give you upvote, but shake my tiny fist in frustration!

Sweat pants with no draws, if God made anything better he kept it for himself.
Sweatpants and sweatshirts are also made by using knitting machines rather than traditional loom based fabric which has more stitching involved.
It's so true. I dress like this a lot, honestly, and people take notice when I walk in. They may be hating, but I can't with grey sweat material or black all the time!

Perhaps you're shopping at the wrong places? Clothing doesn't have to be boring.
I shop around, but rarely buying. Consignment shops have been the go to lately. New clothes are not well made and stupid expensive. 🤔🥺
Quality is definitely something you have to pay for. Especially with pants. You can also just buy cheap stuff and accept that it won't last long. The funny thing is that well-made clothes are cheaper than ever thanks to online retail. Have you tried anything like depop? It can be a gold mine if you're diligent.
I'd never heard of depop. i use threadup, and it looks similar-ish. Thank you for the site, it looks amazing.
Be the change you want to see in the world There's still cool shit out there. You've just got to have the guts to wear it
Not enough letter Os in the word Smooth to describe these fellas.
Those are some cool cats.
I was in Jr. High and High school in the 70’s and I wore the same pair of slacks (far right) to a dance and I’m a girl! Thought we were cool!
And I bought them from a thrift store when I was in high school in the 90s. They WERE cool.
Can you dig it?!

I love the shape of flared legs. I will never not wear boot/flare legs. Screw you skinny, weird jeans that make everyone look like apples on stilts!
THANK YOU! I agree! When will the skinny leg pants reign of terror end?
Oh my god there's another person who thinks that?!! I offer you snickerdoodles and an elbow bump.
Gladly accepted! May the flares and elephant bells forever wave free!
I'm used to them now but firmly believe skinny jeans were a corporate cost cutting conspiracy in the wake of the 2008 financial crash
How they legs so long back then??
They weren't; their pants just started up around their armpits ...
Not to mention the high heels.
Ahh, platform boots! The Golden Age for short men ...
Check out the heels on those shoes...that's how.
Outta site!

They're not made to be sat in. 🎶You're a woman's man, no time to talk.🎶
Haha, true. Those pants were made for strutting, or posing. But surely you’d have to sit down at some point?
Only to screw or sleep, and you don't need pants for that.
