The sexual revolution, disco music, feminism, free-flowing hallucinogenic drugs, and pacifism is the mish-mash of things that once created the absolutely unique 70s style that we so lovingly hate to remember. While there was some pretty awesome stuff going on in the fashion trends department, 70s men's fashion seems to have skipped all the cool stuff and went straight for the disastrous. Men's clothing made from shiny spandex? Groovy! Hip-hugging bell bottom pants, also glossy? You betcha! Chest hair, porn-stache, bright leisure suits, and skimpy short shorts defining the men's fashion? Far out! There's no way these 70s fashion relicts will ever come back in all their seriousness, so we can happily reminisce them in the safety of our jeggings and Yeezys, without fearing to witness a man-bulge wandering in the streets.

If you are still not convinced of the crimes that fashions of the 70s have committed, check out these men's fashion disasters from the decade to see what we mean. Compiled by Bored Panda, the list contains an appalling array of atrocities that the designers themselves cannot defend. So scroll down below to check the gloriously disturbing fashions below, but be warned, as it might get quite NSFW.

Oh, but Amanda! You don't understand the struggle of keeping your slippery, polyester shirts and blouses tucked in while dancing.

I think you're supposed to wear them under pants. Ensures your shirt stays tucked in and doesn't bunch around and above your belt as you move about.

"Can you see my bulge yet....what if I move this way?" "Can you see it now?"

Yeah, that's wrong. What does it snap under your balls or zip in your ass? That's just wrong.

Going number one, not so much of a problem. Number Two: you basically have to get undressed.

These are onsies because fitted shirts come untucked with tight pants and this would stay tucked in. It's actually very practical and makes for a nice sleek look.

They'd better be WAY more than 50% off. Like, the store should pay the customer to take them.

The patterns are sure 70s but the bodysuit thing was more for women. They didn't look much better in them, though. LOL

"Save over 50%" ... of your dignity by not even thinking about wearing something like this.

You know, this is the best way to keep a dress shirt from un-tucking. :P

Saves tucking your shirt into your underpants. Bet John Major's a fan.

I imagine they must have buttons somewhere, to go to the bathroom?

The short guy looks like he's so disgusted by his clothes that he doesn't want to touch himself.

This looks like when someone in the family has a sudden passion for crochet and knitting but no common sense whatsoever.
