The 1970's -- did they really exist?

[Twotone]

And what can we do to forget them?

Here's a compilation from the 1977 JC Penney's catalog that's good for a few laughs.

Happy Leap Day!

I wanted to laugh but it was really just too ... sad.

Also, that guy on the cover has really huge hands.

My mom used to dress me like that kid in the third pic, I actually like the first plaid sportcoat, were the snap front shirts and the "Cowboy Chachi" shirts made by Kabbaz?

Those looks did not get your ass kicked in 1977 -- they got you laid.

Well, not the little kid looks.

... adding, I was admiring high 70s style last night as I watched some of the second season of Wonder Woman. (I think the first season was set in the 1940s). Donald Lee Feld put 70s uber-hunk Lyle Waggoner (as Steve Trevor) into a ton of interesting suits.

My little kid pics are not cool.

Not often does something make me continuously laugh out loud when im alone in my office. This did......

The 70's rocked, too bad I was a wee kiddy at the time. I sure do miss my polyester plaid pants.

Glad I wasn't around for the 70's... but were the 80's/ early 90's "Neon" that much better?

The high-end stuff from the '70s was quite nice, very swank in a way that no brand is today.

I have to say, I do like some of those haircuts.

I think it was worse. As bad as the 70's were I don't think they can match head to toe day-glo.

I feel the '90s were horrible--there's something just so tragic and dour about low gorge suits and ugly nailheads.
