12 Pictures Of Men’s Fashion From The '70s That Will Make You Glad Baggy Jeans Exist

Bored Panda / Vintag

I'm glad I didn't grow up in the 70s. While women's fashion back in the day wasn't the most beautiful thing you've ever seen, men's fashion was just hideous.

Men wore tight booty shorts, bell-bottoms, cable-knit vests, drawstring pants, and lots of other clothes that just yelled "I'm so stylish."

But hey, that's just my opinion. Take a look for yourself:

1. If Coachella existed in the '70s, I'm certain all guys would be dressed like this.

As a woman, I haven't even worn shorts like that!

2. This Dustin Hoffman look-alike seems like he's having a grand time.

On the bright side, those running shorts look very comfy.

3. If Arnold Schwarzenegger's shorts didn't look bad enough, the belt gives a special touch to his appearance.

If we didn't already know that Arnold is a body builder, you would have been so confused by this picture. Not that you already aren't.  

4. Their body posture is one thing, those jeans are another.

It's a little too tight...

5. Crop top, booty shorts, knee-high socks.

He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy. I can't believe these shorts were considered fashion.

These next ones are some fashion gems...

6. He took a scissor to those jeans, for sure.

We are officially not allowed to complain when our kids leave the house with ripped jeans.

7. Exercising with jeans isn't a good idea...

At least he's wearing a men's tank top. I'll give him that.

8. Style really meant something else back in the 70s...

I wish this picture was photoshopped, but it's not.

9. The women are wearing pants, while the men are wearing shorts.

It actually makes sense, men don't have to shave, so they don't need to worry about those beautiful legs of theirs.

10. That's 70s men's fashion at its finest.

11. If this attire isn't risque, I don't know what is.

Do those socks have buckles?!

12. I'd rather see the booty shorts.

What do you think of 70s men's fashion? Would you like to see guys dress like this today?

Fashion Experts Are Trying To Trick Us Into Wearing Flared Jeans Again And We Aren't Having It

Listen, I know fashion is cyclical. I know that things are going to go in and out of style, but here's the thing, not everything should. Fashion is also highly subjective. We all have our own opinions, but when the fashion magazines start telling us "this is what is in style" we all second guess our choices. Now, these experts are telling us to dust off our old flared jeans and honestly, I don't understand why. I know that flared jeans were huge in the disco-era, and I know this because when they came back in the late 90s and

Listen, getting married in the 80s was kind of wild. Not only did you have to deal with the big hair, mullets, and mustaches, but the fashion was a whole other bag of worms. There was no way to predict how insane the dresses were going to look, but it was always safe to assume they would be pretty wild. Puffy sleeves, shiny fabric, and a lot of ruffles seemed to be the norm at the time. Let's not forget that return to the Victorian era that saw women trying to dress like an old-time princess. But, we brave the

Cardigans Are Apparently Back In Style But The 90s Totally Did It Better

If we are being perfectly honest here, I didn't know cardigans ever really went out of style. Sure, people don't really wear them the same way as they used to, but there's still plenty available. But the thing is, the 90s were a prime time for sweater sets and cardigans. Not only were they available in a million color options, but they had a bunch of different designs and patterns that became popular. It seemed like every person had one either wrapped around their shoulders or wore it as a crop top in the 90s. Now they are apparently "back

It was a commitment, it was a brave choice, it was a bold look, and it was iconic. It wasn't just your average Joe's haircut, it was every celebrity in Hollywood, rocking those multi-leveled hairstyles like you wouldn't believe. I know it's hard to remember now.

Never in my life have I claimed to be fashionable. I am almost always years behind in trends, and honestly I just wear what is most comfortable. However, when we were all kids and young adults in the 80s, we obviously had a lot more time and energy to devote to our clothing choices and let's just say we all made some mistakes. Trying to keep up with the trends is not only exhausting, but it means you're going to end up with a lot of embarrassing pictures of your past. The trendy thing that was all the rage? Yep,
