Fashion is supposed to push the boundaries and challenge the status quo, but crikey George – what was going on in the 70’s that this is how far the boundaries needed to be pushed?! Scroll on at your peril – remember that the following images can never be unseen…All joking aside, we did get quite a giggle out of some of these pictures – by all means send us photos if you still own any of these items (bonus points if they still fit!)
Please accept our apologies if you are viewing this post while eating. There are some things which can turn even the strongest stomach! Here are some of the highlights of men’s fashion in the 1970s.
Men + Lycra has always been a dicey fashion choice. This one is downright wrong.
Undergarments are not for the eyes of the public. Thankfully. Just say no to a onesie fellas.
Let’s hope this is a costume party.
Jaunty, I suppose, but it’s not a pity that the belted jumper didn’t catch on.
Ok, there must be some ponchos still floating around. I wonder why the guy on the left isn’t wearing pants?
A 50% saving will not save you from the fashion police. It’s a no to the onesie, once again.
Men in pink is just fine, stylish even. This suit does pink no favours at all.
No. All wrong. Just no.
Matching belt and shoes? Yes. Matching knitted cap and vest? Not so much. The model is even clenching his teeth.
Speechless. Stop it 70s.
Guys who dress like this together, are alone forever.
We hope you enjoyed this lighthearted fashion collection!

flared trousers and vests, stretchy fitted shirts for men? yes, I remember those, but despite spending the 70’s living in Auckland city, right by Queen St, then Sydney frequenting night clubs, top restaurants, followed by Hamilton and Tauranga, I never once saw men wearing any of the other outfits. Love wouldn’t have overcome being seen with a man wearing a onesie, never mind those shorts
