Not me. Back then I basically wore drab monkey suits.

I would not have been caught dead in one of those suits.
I thought they were for the hippies and Mary-Jane smokers..

Three ...and they were paid to do it.

Aside from the guy on the left with the silly hat and deep-plunge shirts, it mostly looks workable to me. The guy in the centre comes close to nailling it.

Re: Fashion from 1975
Well I am a whipper snapper and wasn't around then... but I have worn some of the later 70's trends
Not the mens ones I am afraid... but it was quite a changing era back then coming out of that big disco genre....
Amuzing to see the men wore plunging necklines in the 70s as well as plunging dresses.
My favourite thing from the later 70s is the mule shoe - my go to in summer. They are my favourite - and still so trendy today.

Re: Fashion from 1975
As a product of the early 1970s, I remember the paisley shirts, purples, greens and yellows, flared trousers.
I distinctly recall the purple paisley shirts that my dad wore, for some odd reason, that would have been around 1975 to 1976.
Then there was the men's walk shorts, socks up to the knees held with garters....
This was 15 years before mobile phones existed and 20 years before the internet became commonly used in homes...
Then in the mid to late 1980s, I remember pink ties and then traffic light tie dies shirts (I actually had one)...
Aside from fashions, there are times when if I could go back in time, it would be to the 1980s...

Re: Fashion from 1975
Like NZF, I wasn't around then, but I'd like to see those colors and patterns return to menswear. Yellow pants? Bold patterned shirts? Yes, bring them back, please.
Re: Fashion from 1975
Going back a bit more; (HS) I remember my cringing at a pair of 'calf-sh.. yellow' pants I got as a hand me down from a cousin in Wyoming -- wonder if it would have been easier had it been a skirt?Dust » Sat Oct 10, 2020 9:23 pm

Re: Fashion from 1975
That's indeed quite coloured (like my wardrobe in some ways). I don't like how high are these pants, however

Re: Fashion from 1975
Don't forget the leisure suits that were worn with/over these outfits - - -
Best part was no ties worn - of course how could you with those plunging neck lines !
Think along the lines of floral formal gear.
Those high waist pants still were well below the kilt belly button navel level and notice the sailor bell bottom on those pants.

"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !
