Any ideas when this will become fashionable again?

Asking for a friend.

1. How about never? Never works for me.

The 70s were the dark ages of fashion.

[Ferrets are Cool]

2. Start a trend.

I wont troll this though. People should be free to wear whatever they want. If it makes ya feel good, go for it.

[Major Nikon]

13. I'm seriously thinking of testing the limits of casual Fridays

[Ferrets are Cool]

20. Since I am self-employed

I can wear whatever I want....of course, I may not have any clients afterwards.

[dhol82]

3. Wow - do not remember ever seeing any adult male attired in such a fashion.

[Submariner]

19. You'll see it when you visit Bermuda sometime and see the local businessmen

Usually with a blazer for business attire and more pastel colors.

[dhol82]

36. That short?

I don’t think so.

[Polybius]

40. It's similar in size to NBA players in the 80's

I thought about posting a pic, but I don't wanna search for "NBA players with short shorts."

[dhol82]

46. Bet they didn't wear shorts that short with almost knee high socks

And ties that would blind your eyes.

[deurbano]

31. Thankfully!

[redwitch]

4. Just awful.

Really, really awful.

[ret5hd]

5. When, exactly, was this ever OUT of fashion???

[Major Nikon]

12. I like the way you think

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. hey - don't knock my in-the-garden wear!

[Lindsay]

9. You wear a necktie

for gardening?

Fancy!

[NRaleighLiberal]

14. I wish (NOT) - used to have to wear a tie to work long ago...

can't remember last time I did!

Wardrobe is pretty much Goodwill/thrift shop stuff to bang around in! Retirement...can't beat it!

[CatMor]

7. Wish those prices would become fashionable again.

[Kali]

8. ooooo baby!

[Ohiogal]

10. As ugly as fashion was in the 70s

I honestly don’t remember seeing men looking like this, ever.

[skypilot]

22. Yeah. I grew up in the 70s...

...and this never happened, except one strange day in the life of whatever tacky catalog this pic came from. Hell, I never saw anything even close to this on Soul Train. And they wore some wild stuff on Soul Train.

[TreasonousBastard]

11. Much better...

[Siwsan]

16. I LOVE to see men in kilts!

They bring back memories of some 'interesting' times, in Scotland.

[skypilot]

23. I want those boots.

[Grammy23]

35. I was thinking those knee high white socks would look perfect

With a kilt. Yep. Just perfect.

[OriginalGeek]

43. I certainly agree

[Sanity Claws]

15. Not in our lifetimes

At least I hope not in our lifetimes.

[akraven]

17. About 250 years after we recover from a nuclear holocaust?

So ICK, and the worst was seeing this on Cocoa Beach when you're in your bikini!!

[2naSalit]

18. Oh my stars!

I scrolled down slowly as I read the text, NOT prepared for the shorts! OMG! And the Walk Socks!

I hope they stay right where they are, way back in the not so distant enough past!

[SCantiGOP]

21. When you arrive at the gates of Hell

this is the uniform you are given

[progressoid]

24. Brown belt with black shoes?

And black belt with brown shoes?

The horror. The horror.

[Major Nikon]

25. Definitely a major fashion faux pas

[violetpastille]

26. That was actually a thing in LA last summer

[redstatebluegirl]

27. All they need are birkenstocks and socks to complete the ensemble.

[Harker]

28. Okay, so the ties are a little wide. n/t

[dameatball]

29. My divorce attorney wore ties like that. Should have been a red flag, but.....nooooo.

[klook]

30. Ditch the tie for Casual Friday

[912gdm]

32. 70's people

were the colors really that bad? Or was it because of the film used



Well, I know a lot of it is because of the film.. I love going through my parents pictures from the 70's and woooooow.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

41. The colors really were that bad.

The fashionable colors were mostly orange-ish, mustard, brown and pea-green. You can't blame the film.

[912gdm]

45. Ha!

Thanks... still, I wouldn't mind having a baby-blue leisure suit with those shiny white leather shoes for family dinner shock value

[First Speaker]

33. These guys are the greeters at the Gates of Hell...

[hunter]

34. Those knock-off fashion catalog clothes would go great with knock-off fashion Crocs.

[IcyPeas]

37. yet another consequence of Global Warming

don't let it happen.

[hibbing]

38. These socks are made for walking and that's just what they'll do...n/t

[Polybius]

39. Any shorter and you could see his penis!

[red dog 1]

42. Isn't that an old photo of Eric Idle & John Cleese?

[KayF]

44. Australia?

British spelling of "colours", but they're too tan to be English.
