Each era is known for their own fashion trends. The 1970s had some especially mind-boggling looks. Perhaps the craziest ones her the his and her sets… So we thought we’d put a couple of those together so that you can have a good laugh!
Give me paisley everything or nothing at all… No, but seriously. This couple really went all out with the dated pattern. At least it’s still sort of cute with the bikini and robe?
This dude is most certainly embracing his femme side with this one. Mostly because of those strappy heels. What are they supposed to be? Yellow submarines?
Now THESE are some outfits. With the hats, boots, crazy patterns, and vests. It’s like someone took every crazy thing they can think of and put it all together in one (or two) outfit(s).
Aren’t you glad we’re not swimming in the 70s after seeing this? There’s so many matching, colorful stripes we might go blind. The tight tank tops don’t help either.
More double date action! Nothing beats a pair of matching slacks — whether they’re solid black or plaid — and matching sweaters or button downs. Too dang cute.
Whole groups of friends could match back in the 70s! Not only were these striped patterns blinding, but the sweat-like material also looked way too cozy.
Not even sure what kind of pattern is on these shirts, but safe to say it’s loud and blinding. And paired with the denim bell bottoms? Yeah, that is so 70s.
If you and your partner had a meeting in the 70s, this is what you would wear. No question about it. There’s no way to show you’re serious than with matching suits.
There’s two couples here, and while each of them are wearing matching stripes, they’re slightly different. One set is made of a more denim material and layered over a puffy shirt while the other is a slightly more western take, with hats and all.
Who cares if it’s after Labor Day or not? This couple is straight killin’ it with their white-on-white outfits. And the rainbow belt? Talk about extra.
Aw, imagine seeing a couple walking around in the park and holding hands while donning these matching jackets? Nothing but adorable, plus oh-so-spirited with this American design!
And when it’s not quite cold enough for a full on sweater, break out the patterned sweater vests! They are still super festive. You can even layer them over matching shirts, wow.
For when you are in the mood to be covered in leopard head-to-toe. I mean, who isn’t every now and then? It’s even better when it’s made of smooth silk and your partner is wearing the exact same one.
If you and your partner every had to venture out in the rain or solve crimes in the 70s, you would probably throw this on. A leather trenchcoat is an absolute necessity in the closet. Especially when paired with plaid or stripes.
Here are some more matching sweaters, because we know you wanted them! These looks slightly more spring-appropriate in comparison to the others, with big flower patterns.
It seems as though there was a sweater vest for every mood you were in back then. Happy? There’s sweaters with birds and suns. Ready for bed? There’s sweaters with the moon at night.
Perhaps the best part of this jumpsuit is the removable leg. If you feel like showing those knees, you can actually zip off the leg and turn it into shorts.
Lined underwear for men looked a little something like this. At least it’s nice they weren’t afraid to embrace their bodies with these form-fitting pieces.
Guys wanna go out for lunch or a round of golf? They put on these classy white get-ups, with matching pastel plaid patterns. And yes, of course it’s a wide leg.
At first glance it looks like paisley, but then you’re not sure. It’s a crazy pattern though, and it’s, naturally, mixed with a denim shirt and western-style vest. Classic.
Yes, a majority of these looks are western-style, but 70s people also knew how to get glitzy for a night out on the town. Bell bottom pants and jumpsuits but cover it in sequins and pink silk!
Nothing says 70s like this sweater and necklace combination. During that time, people loved a good statement piece. Extra points if you make the sweater a turtleneck.
It’s no secret that dramatic prints were a big trend back in the old days. Floral, stripes, or a mix of floral and stripes… You name it. The crazier/more blinding, the better.
It only makes sense to end this with some more denim. If there’s anything w learned today, it’s that back in the 70s, people really enjoyed denim. And patterns. And sweater vests. Nice!
