I may have been born in the 90s, but I've always been of the opinion that the turtleneck and blazer looked quite dapper on Carl Sagan. Can't understand how anyone would disapprove of a turtleneck and a blazer. It's timeless, sophisticated, and casual.
Having grown up in the seventies as a teenager, I still think it was the best decade for fashion, music tv shows, movies ect, I think everyone has Thier favourite decade mine is the seventies, and don't forget disco music!
You had me till you said disco. I still have my "Disco Sucks" t-shirt that I bought in 77'. It's kind of faded and hard to read now, but I still wear it every now and again. lol
No, Terry cloth clothes were not all the rage. The fashion people and media pushed it. I literally never saw a single person actually wear a terry jumpsuit. I saw a few young girls wear terry shorts and that was it.
The narrator clearly did not grow up in the 70's because if he had, he would have found memories, not complaints. 😂 PS I loved my bell bottoms and plaid!
70’s were the best!!! Hot pants, halter tops, embroidery on everything, bell bottoms. Maybe in Hollywood for the Terry cloth, but everyone did not wear it. Pop tops were just fun, not everyone wore those either. Plaid is cool. Leisure suits were not bad. It was all classy at the time. So were furs, so were ball gowns....just the time of the decade.
@@julienielsen3746 My 1st wife was rockin a sweet little light blue terri top (zippered from neck to ribcage) when we met. It wasn't all about fasion but the appeal of potential function :).
@@julienielsen3746 Nor did I Julie other than that baby's nappies, or if you are from the USA diapers were once made from it; we used to refer to it as Terry Towel here in the UK. Regarding the jumpsuit, I guess the advantage was that you could get dressed straight out of the shower.
`This what ever you wanna call him leaves out the clothes that were VERY ATTRACTIVE Hes focusing on the bad to make a video I never dressed in these clothes or new any body that did ,,
Got married in the early 70s. My husband wore a velvet burgundy suit with black suede platform shoes and his hair was half way down his back. My dress was the typical white wedding dress but my shoes were mile high platforms. It's hysterical now when I think of it, but back then we were being quite fashionably on point. 🤣😂🤣
Fred from Scooby IS the king of ascots, but what about Roddy McDowell, Vincent Price, and Jonathan "Dr. Smith" Harris? All of them sported ascots with dignity and class. Now excuse me while I enjoy my pineapple pizza whilst wearing my ascot.
When mocking fashions of the past (and I'm fine with that), there seems to be the assumption that TODAY we do things the right way. Can I get an "amen," piercing nation?
Mate, I'm pierced everywhere, 7 on my face, 4 on my chest & the bellybutton & only coz of the fake flu my appts for my collarbones & one more chest to finish keeps getting pushed back & I'm in the "older" class these days in age but love my piercings & love getting piercings, it's an addiction 🥰
I grew up in the 70’s. I loved it! Bell bottoms were awesome! Beats the crap out of some of the clothes we have today. Also, let’s not forget how amazing Elvis looked in his wide collar shirts and how sharp Lee Majors (The Six Million Dollar Man) looked in his Leisure suit!
@@gregorycyr9272 At least in the 70s men weren't walking around w/their suit sleeves rolled up to the elbows that became fashionable after "Miami Vice", lol!
Graduated from high school in '77. I wore the polyester leisure suit with wide lapel and the platform shoes. Converse high top tennis shoes were a must to play B-Ball. I had the Donny Osmond haircut and girls in hip hugger bell-bottoms were hottt! 🔥 Heavily embroidered or patch laden denim jackets and jeans. Definitely turtle necks.
I had a pair of platform shoes/boots. I used to think I was so cool, wearing them. lol. Ugliest shoes in the 70's were Clogs. Now they're back, made out of rubber and called Croc's. Still ugly too.
Ok, enough hate for pineapple pizza. They are friggin' epic! Ham & Pineapple pizza = food of the gods. Put whatever the hell you want on a pizza. Bananas and Mayo? Go for it. Clams and Chocolate? Why not. To quote the 70's, "if it feels good, do it!"
I remember wearing plaid skirts with a matching scarf. I also wore a red vest over my white sweater and blue skirt. My favorite however was terry shorts. They were so comfortable. Oh , and gauchos and clogs.
Vests were big in the 70's (especially to match your skirt). Oh right! I forgot about clogs! That reminds me of the day my mom & I went to the beach and when I turned around, one of my Dr. Scholl clogs was missing...a big wave had carried it out to sea and I was so upset, hahaha!
One of my favorite photos of my dad was him standing in the yard in his leisure suit, complete with white belt and shoes, white turtleneck, tan plaid pants, carrying his smoking pipe. So groovy, man.
I actually liked some of the styles of the 70's , plaid skirts with a great tailored white blouse was a great choice for choice for college and the work place!
I loved the plaid skirts from the 70's. I also loved the bib top light knit corduroy skirts from the mid 70's with either a tailored blouse or turtleneck sweater and boots. They were a little heavy but very warm in the winter and looked very neat. There were so many styles in the 70's that if someone didn't like one style, there were several more to choose from. A lot of the fashion that is making a comeback today started in the 60's and 70's especially the boho fashions.
Back then the doc could cure you if you stuck your pecker into the wrong thing. But then came AIDS where improper use of your junk was a death sentence.
The 70’s are iconic and the clothing is why! Funny enough I saw some Terry Cloth shorts and Shrink blouses in the store the other day. I had a terry cloth short halter top jump suit when I was a kid and it was super comfy, as for the shrink tops, I remember them being itchy LOL. Thanks for another trip on the “way back machine” ❤️✌️
I flew all over the world as an engineer for General Electric in the 70's. The thing about a polyester leisure suit was that I could board a plane in Los Angeles, change planes in Chicago, fly to JFK New York, on to London Heathrow, and then land in Bahrain in the Arabian Gulf. After sleeping in that suit for the entire trip taking the better of 2 days to get there, there wasn't a wrinkle in it. The thing looked just as crappy as the day I bought it at K-Mart.
The turtleneck and blazer was and is still cool look if done right. You forgot about the form fitting Qiana (faux silk/satin) shirts and blouses. Especially worn open to the navel or to the top of the stomach by men, with gold or silver chain(s).
When I was a teenager, money was tight , when I was wishing for a new dress, my mother would teasingly say; *and next you want a ring through your nose !* That was very long ago ,she is long gone !Sshe would not believe the fashion today .
I have about 15 shiny silky long sleeved polyester shirts from the 70's and I tuck them into a long pair of black dress slacks and some women love it.It helps that I am in shape and have a slim look.
I am BLESSED that I remember and have Worn most of the 60s and 70s Garb, and loved the Leg Warmers, and my Pop Top Jacket... and remember all my Friends saving their Pop Tops... but, the Polyester Fashion was a nightmare 👍😅🤣
The synthetic fabric you spoke of was polyester. I remember back in 1976 my favorite school was a shrink shirt only we didn't call it that. It was a vest to me. I wore a ribbed polyester cowlick in burnt orange (a turtleneck with a loose neck that you folded into a little bowl under your chin) the shrink shirt in yellow gold white and gray and gray corduroy bellbottoms with brown leather clogs. Damn I swore I was the coolest kid the one day a week I could sneak out of the house wearing it.
I had a pair of white polyester pants. One time I was driving and smoking a cigarette and some sparks from the cigarette fell in my lap and burned two holes in my pants. LoL they actually melted.
I was a teenager in the 70's and I remember gauchos , bell bottoms and Earth shoes just a few things I loved back then compared to now I wish I could go back❗🥰
What are gauchos. I grew up in the 70s...maybe I wore them under a different title, lol! (I tried to look it up myself but google has "gauchos" listed as horsemen).😊
I loved being a teen in the 70's. The 60's and 70's had the best music, and some pretty awesome fashion and design stuff. Way better than a lot of the bland stuff today.
I was born in the 80s and I just say 70s fashions were way better than some of the ridiculous crap of the 80s. Especially mom jeans that are back now and only God knows why!
What about platform shoes? I almost broke my neck a few times when the cuff of my fashionable ground dragging baggy pants would catch on the heel of my 3" platform shoes. It was especially dangerous when descending stairs!
In the mid 70's, I remember gaucho pants that were like wide legged capris that cut off halfway between the knees and ankles. We wore them in the winter with knee boots and in the summer with sandals. I remember rolling our legs to our slightly flair legged jeans up to halfway between our knees and ankles and wearing knee boots with them. It was a fad that only lasted a little while. Gaucho pants came back in the 80's and early 90's, but they were called a split skirt.
I remember standing in the subway, the girls wearing tank tops. Heaven help you if you had to stand, holding onto a strap. Guys would just come by and yank your top down.
Well, I was a kid in the 70's, but I remember hating hip huggers, bell bottoms and polyester everywhere you looked. But hey, I was at Walmart just the other day and came across a mashup of 70's finery.......the terrycloth skort. That's right folks, the terrycloth skort is making a comeback and in lovely colors like hot pink and lime green. Ah, somethings just never go out of style, am I right?? On the other hand, I would have killed to get my hands on a pair of clogs back in the day. My mom wouldn't let me get a pair.
I love 70s fashion. I have bell bottoms and an original disco shirt from the 70's that was still unworn and had tags on it when I bought it about 5 years ago. Brand new original 70s shirt that was found in-between a partition wall with a couple hundred other original 70s shirts. Cost a fortune, but it was worth it.
Ahh…a trip down memory lane (or nightmare alley). I loved my hip-hugger bell bottom slacks. (Loved the parachute joke, btw.) Ok, the fashion mostly sucked, but we had some of the best music ever.
Yeh well, with only a very few classic exceptions like T-shirts and jeans, ALL fashion pretty much sucks. It's really only just a way to differentiate YOUR group and/or generation from other groups and/or generations, who's style came from the same motivation.....ad infinitum.
I remember jeans that had a rainbow of top stitching going down my leg, and t-shirts with iron on words like “ice cream” that had tails on the bottom of each letter that looked like dripping ice cream.
I loved the 70's and the disco era and I wore "Shrink Tops and Platform shoes" among other 70's fashions, but oh if we could just go back if only for a few minutes, Great times!!
Had to laugh! This was my young era and I wore all the latest fashions. Halter tops - every girl had lots of halter tops. Platform shoes, and every girl either bruised or broke her ankle falling off of these!
I grew up in the 70s. I never saw anyone dress this way in the 70s except on TV. What we actually wore was pretty cute: jeans, saddleback pants, solid v-neck t-shirts, dolphin shorts, cotton midi-skirts and cotton dresses. Guys mainly wore jeans and plain shirts or polo shirts. No polyester, plaids, shrink tops, leisure suits, or disco bullshit. It makes me sad that the stereotypes is what people think is reality, but it is not.
Funny and ironic thing....Shrink tops and crochet (anything) are in style right now, wide leg pants, tie dye and women's blazers are back as well.... :)
Sorry, I loved Terry cloth. However, I don’t remember any Terry cloth jumpers that looked like what you showed. Mostly there was halter top one piece with shorts. It was perfect for the summer months when the temperature was super hot.
White dress shoes with a wide white belt, polyester everything and that huge tie. My dad refused to wear any of it and I was so embarrassed because he was so out of style. 🤣
I keep waiting on ties in general to go out of style. I always found them ridiculous and pointless. The tie serves no purpose it's just a piece of fabric that hangs around your neck flapping in the wind.
Who ever said clothing was all about serving a purpose? If that was all it was about, we'd all be walking around in bland outfits that keep us warm enough and cover our nakedness. Decoration is a big part of clothing and a good tie just looks nice.
We were refused entrance to the British Club in Bahrain in 1979 because anybody arriving for dinner after 6 PM had to have a tie. The place was snooty and had Indian waiters who snapped to attention as the Brits had taught them. We were flown-in refinery workers and didn't travel with neck ties. I went back to our room and quickly cut out cardboard clip on ties and covered them in duct tape with black electrical tape stripes. We added folded Irish currency, American quarter dollars, string, a belt buckle, and a bootlace to make 6 of us ''presentable''. The head Indian waiter in his white safari suit was rather appalled but allowed us to dine there for the next 2 weeks. Every time we would order, nobody could understand the thick Indian waiter accents. I made it our personal joke to order my desserts as ''large serving of gring gring topped with creme de menthe.'' Every waiter would snap to attention and say ''Verry good, sah.'' I got ice cream, pie, cheesecake, baklava, all topped with creme de mint. It was all good. We traded ties and often added trinkets to them that we found in the refinery tool room.
I had a leisure suit that a salesman convinced my Mom was cool. I also had wide collar shirts because that was all I could find, as soon as I could find normal width ones I bought those. I was born in 56, so a lot of fashion sins were popular when I went to college
@@babababuck they worked hard to give him horrible suits, they couldn't find a new fabric. Well someone on the show was shopping for a new car. They saw this horrible fabric in a car. I forget if it was AMC or Volkswagen. Anyway they got the fabric from the car company and made him a full suit. Well they wrote it into the show Herb walks in asks "How do you like my new suit?" Bailey replies "It looks like it was made from car seats" or something close to that.
I love alot 70s fashion. I was born late 70s but so ma y fashion style I'd ro k today and the disco era was so aweaome. 70s inspired the courage of self expression of the 80s (which I love as well) 70s was definitely a time.
I hated fashion in the 1970s, however I’m very glad that I grew up in that decade, I was able to pursue the career I wanted, buy a decent house and save an excellent pension
I never saw anyone wearing pop tops as clothing. Sure a lot of people made chains of them for doorway curtains instead of beads & I even saw a belt made from them once but shirts, vests & hats?!? That sounds like some insane designer stuff to me. You left off platform shoes! How do you think we kept those insane bell bottoms off the ground? A 3" platform with a 6" heel was way more comfortable to wear than regular high heels so I think they should make a come back.
Class of 1976. It was the best of times. But we still bitched. Looking back with todays eyes is hard to put things into perspective. We didnt know any better. Bell bottoms and long hair. The way it was.
I’m a child of the 70’s. I remember my mom buying clothes for school “picture day.” Of particular note was the green corduroy pants (bell bottoms) with a matching green corduroy sport coat. That’s a lot of green and a criminal amount of corduroy!
Yes, I’m with you there. I was a child of the 70’s and to this day I have a psychological aversion to corduroy. The worst fabric ever invented! I hated having to put that stuff on for school pics. That’s the only time my mom could make me put it on. Yuck!!!
Yes,,...remember when you had to walk to the pencil sharpener or the chalk board in class and those corduroy pants would make that funny noise as it rubbed together,, and your sneakers would squeak loudly on those slick hall floors...those were the best days....
I got a pair of hip huggers as a hand-me-down from an Aunt. Not only were they hip huggers, they also were made of purple corduroy and were bell bottoms. The fashion police would have had a field day with these.
You TOTALLY missed tube tops, spandex pants, and all other things disco-related. Platform shoes! Stiletto heels that could cripple you! The terrycloth one-piece romper that you missed during the terrycloth bit. I had the romper and some tube tops. I had one corduroy suit that was given to me as a gift, and I wore it but thankfully outgrew it quickly.
I LOVED being a teenager in the 70's! Best concerts (festival seating) and while I admit some fashions were kinda suspect looking back, at the time it was cool 😎!
I loved my bell bottomed jeans, especially hearing the thwap thwap thwap thwap thwap when I ran. I was five. Ain't nothing wrong with the shrink tops either, showed off the girls form and most could be made at home which was still a thing Mom's used to do for their families. I guess you gotta know the times to appreciate the attitudes; I'm not certain the commentator was alive back then.
My parents wanted me to buy the leisure suite for a H.S. banquet in 1978. I refused and got a tweed three piece suit instead. But, it still had wide lapels and flared pant cuffs. Even style had no style back then.
1970s fashion was horrendous but incredibly brave. I respect even the craziest of the bunch. I also wore an ascot although I was told then it was called an Apache Tie. Paisley ruled that decade.
Well I must had looked pretty weird to some folks in the 1970's,all I wore was my converse tennis shoes,my straight leg Levi pants and a old wore out tee-shirt.and in cold weather times I wore my Levi blue denim jacket,sorry maybe I was a little off beat to some people.but I did end up getting a marrying the prettiest girl in school thought,and we are still married till this day.with 4 great kids and right after our our graduation ceremony in 1978,then I had enlisted into my beloved marine Corp.and for a little over 28 years,until I was diagnosed with full blown colon cancer.and now after 7 colon cancer surgeries's im doing well and a farmer just about 1 mile from where we lived and went to school.and I love my even more now than I ever have in my whole entire life,just because she loved me back then because of the close I chose to ware back some 47 to 48 long years age now.and ha I still go to our local jc penny's and buy my converse tennis shoes and my Levi pants,and my kids love to by tee-shirts and tidie some really nice tee-shirts for all of us to still ware till this day.and for that I dearly love each and everyone of them for carrying on something that kids and people did when I was there age back then,in my opinion I think I still have the prettiest girl in school back then and 4 very smart kids to boot right now!!!!!

@@julienielsen3746 Nor did I Julie other than that baby's nappies, or if you are from the USA diapers were once made from it; we used to refer to it as Terry Towel here in the UK. Regarding the jumpsuit, I guess the advantage was that you could get dressed straight out of the shower.

Got married in the early 70s. My husband wore a velvet burgundy suit with black suede platform shoes and his hair was half way down his back. My dress was the typical white wedding dress but my shoes were mile high platforms. It's hysterical now when I think of it, but back then we were being quite fashionably on point. 🤣😂🤣
I bet your wedding photos are fabulous! Who wants to be so "tasteful" that you can't tell what decade it is?
@@SMtWalkerS LOL! So true!😊
And today's fashions make the 70s fashions look quite respectable
I hate skinny jeans, leggings.
No, they don’t
Looking at 70s fashion on Pinterest. Clothes fit so nice back then. Beautiful styles.
@@julienielsen3746 Yes and people were generally slimmer back then so they could carry it off with style.
No kidding
Fred from Scooby IS the king of ascots, but what about Roddy McDowell, Vincent Price, and Jonathan "Dr. Smith" Harris? All of them sported ascots with dignity and class. Now excuse me while I enjoy my pineapple pizza whilst wearing my ascot.
Heck yeah...i loved the 70's...
When mocking fashions of the past (and I'm fine with that), there seems to be the assumption that TODAY we do things the right way. Can I get an "amen," piercing nation?
Mate, I'm pierced everywhere, 7 on my face, 4 on my chest & the bellybutton & only coz of the fake flu my appts for my collarbones & one more chest to finish keeps getting pushed back & I'm in the "older" class these days in age but love my piercings & love getting piercings, it's an addiction 🥰
@@Tully_23_32 piercings look cool, on most folks. Chavs make piercings look different
no
there is no such assumption
the person mocking the past may be a 50's fan. early 60's fan or an 80's fan
i think the 80's got it right
AMEN to that!
I grew up in the 70’s. I loved it! Bell bottoms were awesome! Beats the crap out of some of the clothes we have today. Also, let’s not forget how amazing Elvis looked in his wide collar shirts and how sharp Lee Majors (The Six Million Dollar Man) looked in his Leisure suit!
Hello.I still wear shiny polyester shirts from the 70's.
@@gregorycyr9272 At least in the 70s men weren't walking around w/their suit sleeves rolled up to the elbows that became fashionable after "Miami Vice", lol!
@@isabellind1292 I just bought 3 more Long sleeved Nylon disco shirts off Ebay last week.They are nice silky smooth.
I enjoyed the 70's, thank you very much .
Can't argue with you there!
I was a teenager in the 70's and it was great.
I was a teenager in the 70's as well. I'd go back in a heart beat.
Women had real, natural boobs and lips. No piercings, no tattoos.
They had class.
Pant suits.
Graduated from high school in '77. I wore the polyester leisure suit with wide lapel and the platform shoes. Converse high top tennis shoes were a must to play B-Ball. I had the Donny Osmond haircut and girls in hip hugger bell-bottoms were hottt! 🔥 Heavily embroidered or patch laden denim jackets and jeans. Definitely turtle necks.
Yes! At Prom the guys wore polyester tuxes in pastel colors with ruffled shirt fronts. They were all foxes!!
You forgot about the platform shoes that guys wore with their plaid polyester bell bottoms. It was a great decade for clothes and being young.
I had a pair of platform shoes/boots. I used to think I was so cool, wearing them. lol.
Ugliest shoes in the 70's were Clogs. Now they're back, made out of rubber and called Croc's. Still ugly too.
Iam glad someone thinks that too!
Loved my platform shoes, but falling off of them was dangerous!
@@babababuck they still are cool wys
Me too, I loved my platform shoes with my Bell Bottom pants swirling around them as I danced to the groovy music.
News Flash: Tye Dye has been back and it is awesome.
Tye dye was actually from the 60’s but it never really went away. It’s timeless, like Chucks and Levi’s.
I love it!
When I was in second grade we learned to tie-dye in second grade. I thought I had to bring my own necktie.
Ok, enough hate for pineapple pizza. They are friggin' epic! Ham & Pineapple pizza = food of the gods. Put whatever the hell you want on a pizza. Bananas and Mayo? Go for it. Clams and Chocolate? Why not. To quote the 70's, "if it feels good, do it!"
Green peppers, go great on Hawaiian pizza too.
That's what got us teenager in trouble in the 1970s to just do it! Lol 😂
Clams and Chocolate??? Okay that's just gross! That's an insult to chocolate. Blah...clams..🤢🤢🤢
Pizza should never have fruit on it.🍕
@@brenthaymon280 Tomatoes ARE fruits.
I remember wearing plaid skirts with a matching scarf. I also wore a red vest over my white sweater and blue skirt. My favorite however was terry shorts. They were so comfortable. Oh , and gauchos and clogs.
ugh!
Vests were big in the 70's (especially to match your skirt). Oh right! I forgot about clogs! That reminds me of the day my mom & I went to the beach and when I turned around, one of my Dr. Scholl clogs was missing...a big wave had carried it out to sea and I was so upset, hahaha!
Honestly, most of the fashion from the 70s was a little crazy, but I loved my Terry cloth shorts and the bell bottom jeans.
These people who put the seventies down, didn't live there like we did.
Those shorts were so comfortable!
@@JohnLee-pt5jz You are completely right!
@@mariemcadams8408 They we’re indeed!
So, 2021 is better ??.
One of my favorite photos of my dad was him standing in the yard in his leisure suit, complete with white belt and shoes, white turtleneck, tan plaid pants, carrying his smoking pipe. So groovy, man.
AW! That's very sweet.💓
I actually liked some of the styles of the 70's , plaid skirts with a great tailored white blouse was a great choice for choice for college and the work place!
It was a good choice for women as well.
I thought college age girls in plaid skirts, knee socks and "loafers" was a fabulous look. Still do.
@@kiltedwolf2 The same.
Agree, so cute! I had my plaid skirts with box pleats.
I loved the plaid skirts from the 70's. I also loved the bib top light knit corduroy skirts from the mid 70's with either a tailored blouse or turtleneck sweater and boots. They were a little heavy but very warm in the winter and looked very neat. There were so many styles in the 70's that if someone didn't like one style, there were several more to choose from. A lot of the fashion that is making a comeback today started in the 60's and 70's especially the boho fashions.
I still wear crocheted bikini tops I made myself. The 60's and 70's rocked!! Everything today is a throw back to 70's bell bottoms and tie-dye.
I still wear the shiny polyester shirts from the 70's.I find them in vintage clothing stores.
i still think about the 70's, best time to be a kid
A Terry Cloth dress on a pretty girl in the 70’s was really hot.😍
oh god yes
That's just the way it was at the time it was fuckin good times
……..right…!…. I would give anything to go back to then, to compare to the way things are now
Back then the doc could cure you if you stuck your pecker into the wrong thing. But then came AIDS where improper use of your junk was a death sentence.
The 70’s are iconic and the clothing is why! Funny enough I saw some Terry Cloth shorts and Shrink blouses in the store the other day. I had a terry cloth short halter top jump suit when I was a kid and it was super comfy, as for the shrink tops, I remember them being itchy LOL. Thanks for another trip on the “way back machine” ❤️✌️
I flew all over the world as an engineer for General Electric in the 70's. The thing about a polyester leisure suit was that I could board a plane in Los Angeles, change planes in Chicago, fly to JFK New York, on to London Heathrow, and then land in Bahrain in the Arabian Gulf. After sleeping in that suit for the entire trip taking the better of 2 days to get there, there wasn't a wrinkle in it. The thing looked just as crappy as the day I bought it at K-Mart.
I love all of these clothes and the hair! It's still cool. :)
The turtleneck and blazer was and is still cool look if done right. You forgot about the form fitting Qiana (faux silk/satin) shirts and blouses. Especially worn open to the navel or to the top of the stomach by men, with gold or silver chain(s).
When I was a teenager, money was tight , when I was wishing for a new dress, my mother would teasingly say; *and next you want a ring through your nose !* That was very long ago ,she is long gone !Sshe would not believe the fashion today .
I still wear bell bittoms. I purchased at least 10 pair from Walmart recently.....and I look fabulous in them!
They are too hard on the 70's style. There is NO FASHION now! Putting outfits together was fun back then!
I have about 15 shiny silky long sleeved polyester shirts from the 70's and I tuck them into a long pair of black dress slacks and some women love it.It helps that I am in shape and have a slim look.
I am BLESSED that I remember and have Worn most of the 60s and 70s Garb, and loved the Leg Warmers, and my Pop Top Jacket... and remember all my Friends saving their Pop Tops... but, the Polyester Fashion was a nightmare 👍😅🤣
I used to tell my parents I was “allergic to polyester”. God awful stuff.
@@HeronCoyote1234 Everyone was Thankful when Polyester went out of Style...😅🤣🤣
The synthetic fabric you spoke of was polyester. I remember back in 1976 my favorite school was a shrink shirt only we didn't call it that. It was a vest to me. I wore a ribbed polyester cowlick in burnt orange (a turtleneck with a loose neck that you folded into a little bowl under your chin) the shrink shirt in yellow gold white and gray and gray corduroy bellbottoms with brown leather clogs. Damn I swore I was the coolest kid the one day a week I could sneak out of the house wearing it.
cowl necks
I had a pair of white polyester pants. One time I was driving and smoking a cigarette and some sparks from the cigarette fell in my lap and burned two holes in my pants. LoL they actually melted.
I was a teenager in the 70's and I remember gauchos , bell bottoms and Earth shoes just a few things I loved back then compared to now I wish I could go back❗🥰
Gauchos! I had a few of those! I wore them with boots. Rad!
What are gauchos. I grew up in the 70s...maybe I wore them under a different title, lol! (I tried to look it up myself but google has "gauchos" listed as horsemen).😊
Bellbottom pants still rules I'll wear them if they make a comeback
I loved being a teen in the 70's. The 60's and 70's had the best music, and some pretty awesome fashion and design stuff. Way better than a lot of the bland stuff today.
I was born in the 80s and I just say 70s fashions were way better than some of the ridiculous crap of the 80s. Especially mom jeans that are back now and only God knows why!
No. 80s fashion was better.
I actually was around in the 1970's; it wasn't that bad at all! 🌠
What about platform shoes?
I almost broke my neck a few times when the cuff of my fashionable ground dragging baggy pants would catch on the heel of my 3" platform shoes. It was especially dangerous when descending stairs!
I have always been a blue jean and t shirt kind of guy. And I still get lots of compliments.
Skinny blue jeans?
In the mid 70's, I remember gaucho pants that were like wide legged capris that cut off halfway between the knees and ankles. We wore them in the winter with knee boots and in the summer with sandals. I remember rolling our legs to our slightly flair legged jeans up to halfway between our knees and ankles and wearing knee boots with them. It was a fad that only lasted a little while. Gaucho pants came back in the 80's and early 90's, but they were called a split skirt.
Another nice trip down memory lane thanks 💖😁
Tube tops! Crazy platform shoes! Overalls. What a crazy era to grow up in!
The 70s were pretty weird but the 80s had some pretty tragic fashion too!
That's my era. Yeah, some was awful. I miss the pants that had more room around thighs. I,m not fond of overly tight clothing.
No. I love 80s fashion.
@@renealexander2703 you obviously weren’t there!
@@officialWWM , I was there.
lol NO KIDING Big time
Flares, hot pants, cork shoes, stagger jeans, house of merrivale, bell bottoms, sexy jumpsuits, they were the best and we looked absolutely great👍👍👍👍
Can't believe that tube tops weren't included. Whoever came up with the concept of elastic pressing on your breasts as 2,000 lbs per square inch?
As men we loved to see them on women when it was cold out.
I remember standing in the subway, the girls wearing tank tops. Heaven help you if you had to stand, holding onto a strap. Guys would just come by and yank your top down.
@@MarielleStowe upstate NY.
Tube tops with overalls!
@@cmtippens9209 ever seen “Boogie Nights”? That lovely (!?) combo is in the movie.
Well, I was a kid in the 70's, but I remember hating hip huggers, bell bottoms and polyester everywhere you looked. But hey, I was at Walmart just the other day and came across a mashup of 70's finery.......the terrycloth skort. That's right folks, the terrycloth skort is making a comeback and in lovely colors like hot pink and lime green. Ah, somethings just never go out of style, am I right??
On the other hand, I would have killed to get my hands on a pair of clogs back in the day. My mom wouldn't let me get a pair.
Clogs were comfy and cool.
Loved the 70's fashion, hip huggers and platform shoes Wild Musk.
And don't forget the Opium perfume!
People were slimmer back then and could wear this stuff with style.
@@melissajenniferjones9959 Don't forget Youth Dew and Brut.
Loved Youth Dew, still love Brut too !!!!!!!
@@GeeCeeWU
@@arlenefisher1164 I used to wear Brut and I loved the smell of Youth Dew on a girl.
I love 70s fashion. I have bell bottoms and an original disco shirt from the 70's that was still unworn and had tags on it when I bought it about 5 years ago. Brand new original 70s shirt that was found in-between a partition wall with a couple hundred other original 70s shirts. Cost a fortune, but it was worth it.
Ahh…a trip down memory lane (or nightmare alley). I loved my hip-hugger bell bottom slacks. (Loved the parachute joke, btw.)
Ok, the fashion mostly sucked, but we had some of the best music ever.
Did your jeans pants close with a snap/rivet or strings?
I completely agree with you!
Yes we did.
Yeh well, with only a very few classic exceptions like T-shirts and jeans, ALL fashion pretty much sucks. It's really only just a way to differentiate YOUR group and/or generation from other groups and/or generations, who's style came from the same motivation.....ad infinitum.
I remember jeans that had a rainbow of top stitching going down my leg, and t-shirts with iron on words like “ice cream” that had tails on the bottom of each letter that looked like dripping ice cream.
I loved the 70's and the disco era and I wore "Shrink Tops and Platform shoes" among other 70's fashions, but oh if we could just go back if only for a few minutes, Great times!!
i liked tube tops on the chics back then, easy access 🤭
Had to laugh! This was my young era and I wore all the latest fashions. Halter tops - every girl had lots of halter tops. Platform shoes, and every girl either bruised or broke her ankle falling off of these!
Only one person ever successfully rocked the ascot. That would be Fred from Scooby Doo.
And Mr.Furley / Don Knotts from Threes' Company on his way to the Reagle Beagle to pick up chicks!
The 70s were just as great as it was weird. Loved the decade. The music was fantastic.
ooo YAAAAAH
I grew up in the 70s. I never saw anyone dress this way in the 70s except on TV. What we actually wore was pretty cute: jeans, saddleback pants, solid v-neck t-shirts, dolphin shorts, cotton midi-skirts and cotton dresses. Guys mainly wore jeans and plain shirts or polo shirts. No polyester, plaids, shrink tops, leisure suits, or disco bullshit. It makes me sad that the stereotypes is what people think is reality, but it is not.
maybe in your bubble, but i saw it a lot
I’M HOLLERING! 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀
I’m 56 and I remember those horrible fashions!
I’m having anxiety just watching this🤣
Hey, don't pick on my bell bottoms! They made my short legs look so much longer, lol🙃
I was born in 2000 and I love 70s fashion lol
I was a teenager then. Fashion was fun!
Thanks for the memory trip back to my high school years 😁
...opening scene of Goldfinger: Sean Connery in a light blue terrycloth jumpsuit, complete with belt buckle; OMG.
OMG.. all those outfits were sooooo stylish at that time.. I still remember wearing almost all of those and felt sooo cool...
Oh I had a leisure suit. How awful. I saved a pair of dress bells that I bought in 1977. Damn the bell is wide at 12 inches.
Funny and ironic thing....Shrink tops and crochet (anything) are in style right now, wide leg pants, tie dye and women's blazers are back as well.... :)
Sorry, I loved Terry cloth. However, I don’t remember any Terry cloth jumpers that looked like what you showed. Mostly there was halter top one piece with shorts. It was perfect for the summer months when the temperature was super hot.
The 70's isn't the worst fashion period, right now is.
The 70s were wonderful. I loved the fashion and the music and the muscle cars. I wish I could go back and live in that era again.
I would pass up 100 billion dollars to go back
Steve McQueen?? Not cool? In the immortal words of Greta Thundberg, "HOW DARE YOU!!!"
White dress shoes with a wide white belt, polyester everything and that huge tie. My dad refused to wear any of it and I was so embarrassed because he was so out of style. 🤣
I keep waiting on ties in general to go out of style. I always found them ridiculous and pointless. The tie serves no purpose it's just a piece of fabric that hangs around your neck flapping in the wind.
Who ever said clothing was all about serving a purpose? If that was all it was about, we'd all be walking around in bland outfits that keep us warm enough and cover our nakedness. Decoration is a big part of clothing and a good tie just looks nice.
We were refused entrance to the British Club in Bahrain in 1979 because anybody arriving for dinner after 6 PM had to have a tie. The place was snooty and had Indian waiters who snapped to attention as the Brits had taught them. We were flown-in refinery workers and didn't travel with neck ties. I went back to our room and quickly cut out cardboard clip on ties and covered them in duct tape with black electrical tape stripes. We added folded Irish currency, American quarter dollars, string, a belt buckle, and a bootlace to make 6 of us ''presentable''. The head Indian waiter in his white safari suit was rather appalled but allowed us to dine there for the next 2 weeks.
Every time we would order, nobody could understand the thick Indian waiter accents. I made it our personal joke to order my desserts as ''large serving of gring gring topped with creme de menthe.'' Every waiter would snap to attention and say ''Verry good, sah.'' I got ice cream, pie, cheesecake, baklava, all topped with creme de mint. It was all good. We traded ties and often added trinkets to them that we found in the refinery tool room.
I had a leisure suit that a salesman convinced my Mom was cool. I also had wide collar shirts because that was all I could find, as soon as I could find normal width ones I bought those. I was born in 56, so a lot of fashion sins were popular when I went to college
Was the salesman's name Herb Tarlek?" lol
@@babababuck I don't think so, but did you know I one of Herb's suits was made from car upholstery?
@@kirkmorrison6131 I kinda thought they all were.
@@babababuck they worked hard to give him horrible suits, they couldn't find a new fabric. Well someone on the show was shopping for a new car. They saw this horrible fabric in a car. I forget if it was AMC or Volkswagen. Anyway they got the fabric from the car company and made him a full suit.
Well they wrote it into the show Herb walks in asks "How do you like my new suit?" Bailey replies "It looks like it was made from car seats" or something close to that.
And@@kirkmorrison6131 lol. It's believable. And I remember that episode too.
Sorry, but Steve McQueen DID look cool in a turtle neck and blazer. Someone from today can't just go back and "cancel" coolness...
I love alot 70s fashion. I was born late 70s but so ma y fashion style I'd ro k today and the disco era was so aweaome. 70s inspired the courage of self expression of the 80s (which I love as well) 70s was definitely a time.
I hated fashion in the 1970s, however I’m very glad that I grew up in that decade, I was able to pursue the career I wanted, buy a decent house and save an excellent pension
We also wore pencil skirts with tailored blouses and a blazer and it is still in style today!
I never saw anyone wearing pop tops as clothing. Sure a lot of people made chains of them for doorway curtains instead of beads & I even saw a belt made from them once but shirts, vests & hats?!? That sounds like some insane designer stuff to me. You left off platform shoes! How do you think we kept those insane bell bottoms off the ground? A 3" platform with a 6" heel was way more comfortable to wear than regular high heels so I think they should make a come back.
Class of 1976. It was the best of times. But we still bitched. Looking back with todays eyes is hard to put things into perspective. We didnt know any better. Bell bottoms and long hair. The way it was.
I’m a child of the 70’s. I remember my mom buying clothes for school “picture day.”
Of particular note was the green corduroy pants (bell bottoms) with a matching green corduroy sport coat.
That’s a lot of green and a criminal amount of corduroy!
Yes, I’m with you there. I was a child of the 70’s and to this day I have a psychological aversion to corduroy. The worst fabric ever invented! I hated having to put that stuff on for school pics. That’s the only time my mom could make me put it on. Yuck!!!
I kinda liked corduroy. Everyone tells me I'm weird though. 🤓🍻
Yes,,...remember when you had to walk to the pencil sharpener or the chalk board in class and those corduroy pants would make that funny noise as it rubbed together,, and your sneakers would squeak loudly on those slick hall floors...those were the best days....
@@Bubbleguts1964 Corduroy is sick mate come down to West London and I'll spark you AS YOU WERE
I got a pair of hip huggers as a hand-me-down from an Aunt. Not only were they hip huggers, they also were made of purple corduroy and were bell bottoms. The fashion police would have had a field day with these.
Had two leisure suits I got for Christmas, hated both and never wore. Finally gifted to Goidwill.
You TOTALLY missed tube tops, spandex pants, and all other things disco-related. Platform shoes! Stiletto heels that could cripple you! The terrycloth one-piece romper that you missed during the terrycloth bit. I had the romper and some tube tops. I had one corduroy suit that was given to me as a gift, and I wore it but thankfully outgrew it quickly.
I wore terry cloth robes!! But not cloths. I was raised in the 70's. You forgot Velvet cloths. Lol! Mood rings .... Everyone wore them.
My mood rings were usually dark cuz I had cold hands..😨
I LOVED being a teenager in the 70's! Best concerts (festival seating) and while I admit some fashions were kinda suspect looking back, at the time it was cool 😎!
I wonder why many people don’t know about the beauty of the 1970’s.
I used to have what was called a "dickie" that I wore at times.. for the appearance of a turtleneck. Late 60s early 70s.
I loved my bell bottomed jeans, especially hearing the thwap thwap thwap thwap thwap when I ran. I was five.
Ain't nothing wrong with the shrink tops either, showed off the girls form and most could be made at home which was still a thing Mom's used to do for their families. I guess you gotta know the times to appreciate the attitudes; I'm not certain the commentator was alive back then.
In the 1970’s I wore platform Tennis shoes and bell bottom pants. Polyester pazlie shirts with wide lapels.
My parents wanted me to buy the leisure suite for a H.S. banquet in 1978. I refused and got a tweed three piece suit instead. But, it still had wide lapels and flared pant cuffs. Even style had no style back then.
And here’s me thinking wide lapels and flares were going out of fashion around then.
1970s fashion was horrendous but incredibly brave. I respect even the craziest of the bunch. I also wore an ascot although I was told then it was called an Apache Tie. Paisley ruled that decade.
I had a jumpsuit and what we called moon boots and elephant ear jeans and also bell bottoms
I can tell you've probably never seen any of these modern fashion shows they make the 70s look actually cool
Well I must had looked pretty weird to some folks in the 1970's,all I wore was my converse tennis shoes,my straight leg Levi pants and a old wore out tee-shirt.and in cold weather times I wore my Levi blue denim jacket,sorry maybe I was a little off beat to some people.but I did end up getting a marrying the prettiest girl in school thought,and we are still married till this day.with 4 great kids and right after our our graduation ceremony in 1978,then I had enlisted into my beloved marine Corp.and for a little over 28 years,until I was diagnosed with full blown colon cancer.and now after 7 colon cancer surgeries's im doing well and a farmer just about 1 mile from where we lived and went to school.and I love my even more now than I ever have in my whole entire life,just because she loved me back then because of the close I chose to ware back some 47 to 48 long years age now.and ha I still go to our local jc penny's and buy my converse tennis shoes and my Levi pants,and my kids love to by tee-shirts and tidie some really nice tee-shirts for all of us to still ware till this day.and for that I dearly love each and everyone of them for carrying on something that kids and people did when I was there age back then,in my opinion I think I still have the prettiest girl in school back then and 4 very smart kids to boot right now!!!!!

Love the 70's fashion. Bell bottoms, platform shoes, jumpsuits, the lot ❤️
I had some terry cloth rompers I only was allowed to wear to the beach or pool . I grew up in the 70's but don't remember pop top clothes... probably a mental block 😅.
Me either. I grew up in a small Midwest farm town. We didn't ever really get the weirder stuff.
70's blue Jack Percell tennis shoes and straight leg Levi's with a cuff. Loved that... Cool!
Na bring em all back. They beat tattoos.
Most Tat's are ok. Just not on the face.
Tattoos are permanent reminders of momentary feelings.
@@MarielleStowe ... My statement is repeated from someone else who made the observation a very long time ago. The point is that it's inherently foolish. I wanted a tattoo as a kid. Fortunately, my father had a strong enough influence on me that I never went down that path, and I'm very grateful for the choice.
The 70s Was Awesome ! Glad I Was A Teenager During That Time ! Loved The Clothes And Music ! The Clothes And Music Suck Today !
