There's approximately a gazillion of these available on the interwebs, and I've probably posted way too many of them - once I started I had a hard time stopping! The vast majority of what I've included here are ads for men's clothing, because they're so many standard deviations from the current norm - the women's versions look (relatively) normal.
I have to say, too, that I lived through the 70's, and although this stuff was, obviously, advertised, I don't remember actually seeing much of it. On the other hand, I don't remember an awful lot about that time period.
The only person who pulled this fashion statement off, sort of, was John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, and I'll bet it's been waaay to long since you watched it (watch full screen):

This ad seems to be patterned after Travolta:
I don't know what to make of this:
A couple for the ladies:
I'm pretty sure I never heard of Flagg Brothers, but I love the pimp style and the women hanging onto their legs:
A couple for the ladies:
And for the whole family:
Hilariuos.

ReplyDeleteThe '70s: The Decade That Taste Forgot
ReplyDeleteThe 70s... a kidney stone of a decade... thank gawd it passed.
DeleteFor one short decade, men took an interest in fashion. And proved we cannot handle that kind of responsibility.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear God, I shouldn't have eaten before reading this.
ReplyDeleteYes, kids, it's all true. Ask Grandpa and don't believe him if says it's not!
ReplyDeleteWhy does everything in the 1970s look like a porno is about to break out?
ReplyDeleteBecause, in the 70's a porno was about to break out.
DeleteIf you can remember the 70s, you weren't there.
ReplyDeleteOh, wait, that's Woodstock. ;D
Thank God I was on Active duty with the Army from 71 to 76 and only had OD and Kahki to worry about...after I got off active duty, I used my GI Bill and went to college where jeans and my old OD field jacket were quite hauteur de monde..
ReplyDeleteThe girls look pretty.
