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.

Dude in the silver swimsuit is obviously asking his friends, "I'm cool, right? Thumbs up, guys! Guys? Umm...guys?"

The guy on the right is very pretty...regardless of the clothes...so pretty in fact that I can overlook them.

That man was also/later a gay porn model/actor named Gordon Grant, supposedly Native American (Cherokee?) Don't ask how I know of such things—TMI. I was coming of age in the midst of all of this sartorial confusion and the emergence of disco culture. I think the guy on the left also did porn. Guy on the right did some R-rated nudes but stayed in legitimate modeling as far as I remember.

For a bit of trivia- The bearded guy on the right modeled for gay beefcake magazine "Colt Studio" under the name "Stoner". He dated Cassandra Peterson who would go on to become "Elvira". He tragically died in a motorcycle accident in the mid 70"s. The guy in the middle was native American and modeled extensively for Colt Studio under the name "Gordon Grant."

Horrors!! I certainly don't remember these creepy characters during the 70s. They look like it took a LOT of recreational drugs to agree to model them.

Could totally see Freddy Mercury rocking the look on the right. And possibly the red pants, too.

I shouldn't be able to measure a penis by looking at a dude's pants.

That was the fashion of the day, especially in gay circles, but it was part of the general male disco aesthetic as well. Show some "box."

So, as a child of the 60's I remember and worked in men's fashion during the 70's. Very few of these were actually worn by most men. These were those fashions that they tried to convince us was the latest trend but not really! Give it another 30-40 yrs and our grandchildren with be looking at the crazy things designers do now for fashion shows and they'll think that's what we all wore.

WRONG!! 70s fashion for men is long overdue for a true comeback. I wear the 70s style every f&*^in day of my life regardless of what you so-called "fashion experts" who are nothing more than overpaid sexually repressed idiots think! Me-58a4af59c8b30.jpg

Y'all made this s**t up. I was there. We had great fun and the best music ever. Never saw this trash, anywhere. Well, maybe almost never... there was always Sonny & Cher. And Elton John.... but those were costumes! Except for Cher.... sonny-and-...02fd1e.jpg

The decade that taste completely bypassed. But true, at least it had a style all it's own, unlike the shapeless baggy jeans, hoodies and baseball caps that seem to have been around for about 30 years now
Anna McHugh 9 years ago
It's like Pinterest before Pinterest - except that it was an entire decade devoted to repurposing your dead grandma's clothes. Your dead, insane, colourblind, synthetics-lovin' gramma.
Robbie Hannan 9 years ago
I remember the 70s as the decade taste forgot but this collection is truly outstandingly bad. But I don't remember that many check pants being around in Australia and it's something you'd never forget! Nor the fabulous man-baby onesies. Body shirts were the thing here.

They are all great, no idea what you are talking about. Men's fashion from an era you never lived in. For me brings back great memories. Very stylish.

The 70s, the decade that taste forgot. Thank Fek none of the men I dated ever looked like that, polyester body shirts & flares were bad enough. I was able to get them to ditch the body shirts for cotton by saying I was allergic to synthetics, they were all clueless enough to miss the fact that most of my dresses were Jersey.

Gay isn't just a fashion, it's a reality and if there was a time when it was embraced by men to be flamboyant and unapologetic about being androgynous then it simply means those times marked a freedom of expression for everyone. I don't see this freedom today anymore. And I think this is a problem.

30 or 40 years from now, when later generations look at what we wear nowadays, they would react the same way.
Roberta Morrison 9 years ago
Yep. And it's your fault when we start seeing these on the street. But on the bright side, guys at least knew how to wear pants in those days!

When you see all these outfit it's a miracle we are here today to talk about it. I mean, how did they manage to seduce anyone to the point of reproducing wearing that. Unless they just took it off as soon as they saw someone of interst in the distance...

I'm not sure I should ruin the fun however a lot of guys wouldn't be caught dead in clothes made from Simplicity patterns or knitting instruction seen here. That said, I have pictures of me in poly leisure suits and/or platform shoes...

You know what I honestly think the problem here is: people today are sooooooooooooooooo effing scared of anything outside the box. I think this article in itself. In the 70s men were more playful with fashion. Today everyone is just scared of colours, patterns and the slightest hint of androgyny. Why do you need to perpetuate this toxic s**t? Bored Panda, your boredom just entered the stupid area. Go hunt some rabbits, you "real men".
