The 1970s saw the founding of Apple Computer, Inc., the resignation of President Nixon, and... a lot of his-and-hers matching outfits that would get ridiculed to shreds in the street today. There are only so many belted tank tops and leopard onesies a person can tolerate, and the 70s fashion pushed the boundaries of this limit, for sure.

Why is this cringy? This doesn't look that wrong, in my opinion, especially during that era. Edit: The writer changed the title of the article.
My mother bought matching leopard print pyjamas for all five of us one Christmas - I pray nobody ever finds the pictures.
Because we all need horizontal stripes across the widest part of our bodies....Yeesh. I like the bikini, though.
Could someone clarify the concept of a partner look? Is it some old tribe thing? Please.
They all just seem so goddamn serene! Maybe if we all wore hideous matching knitwear we'd forget about Brexit/Trump/ISIS/environmental armageddon and calmly walk into our inevitable doom without so much as a whimper, creepy smiles pasted on our stupid faces... Probably not. Never mind, forget I mentioned it.
Is it bad that I really like a lot of these? Sure, many of them probably shouldn't be worn as couples outfits, but on their own, some of them actually look good!
I think a lot of them may look bad to people BECAUSE they coordinate too much. A lot of these styles would look good if just one person were wearing them. The coordination of the outfits is what makes them cringey. By themselves a lot of those outfits look OK. Some I would even wear today to look retro..
Load More Replies...where are the knee high tube sox with coach's shorts? everybody wore that style in 1979...
My GF told me to lose the kneehighs, lol. That must have been 1982.
Load More Replies...It is my wife's dream for us to go out in matching outfits.....too weird for me
Ask her why? Please, ask her why would she like that?
