For the well-dressed man in 1975...

Well, they say that styles come around again after a time. God, I hope not (1975 JC Penny catalog).

That’s not the 1970’s.
All three would be smoking and two of them would have a cocktail glass in their hand.

The upside was; all the mini skirts and hot pants. We were wearing Levi’s, t shirts & flannels and laughed at the Leisure Suit crowd. :cool:

Makes me want to kung fu kick somebody and then escape by hang gliding off those collars….

Mr “C” the third guy, he looks like he’s angry, maybe because he cant grow a Pornstash?

Guy “A” does bear a passing resemblance to John Holmes.

They must have used that exact cut collar as a universal size cost saving measure. Several pics of less than 5 year old me in suits with collars that were shoulder width.

Ill take that all day every day over this insane faggotry of wearing your saggy ass jeans below your ass and wearing a f-in hoodie year round.
I loathe those damn things.

I retired from the Military and then went in to contracting.
For the life of me I have went from one Uniform to another. At 61 it’s tan cargo pants and a black or concert t-shirt, winter includes a sweat shirt.
Honestly I’m just too damned old for learning fashion.

1980’s disco fever.

I’d rock that middle outfit, with platform shoes…. I could use a little ‘control top’ to help contain my tactical muffin top.

Holmes was the original model, but they had to let him him go due to the pants being advertised violating moral standards of the time.

Really need a pimp hat to complete the look

Not according to the tight pants.

My GrandDad owned a mens clothing business from 1957-97 & man the styles over those four decades…the pics are great. I’ll need to see if Dad & uncle can dig some out.

Covered it all from what you see in the OP to western wear (bet they sold sansabelt slacks into the hundred thousands)…what always amazed me is some of the oldest pics was how many men wore hats daily compared to the later years.

My dad retired from the Marines in 1975, and judging by pictures, his choice of civilian attire was absolutely horrific and horrendous. I’m not sure if it was his taste or what the fashion was at the time.

That’s not a style that Carrie’s throughout the country. Plumbers and wannabe rappers, though Duluth Trading does something about the plumbers with their long tees and flex fit pants. The wannabes don’t know to shop there though.

Trying to find the commercial where a wife is in the morgue trying to ID a body believed to be her husband and asks the coroner to flip him over so she can compare the body to a picture of her husband working under the sink. Think it was a hardware company.

On the other hand…no woman under 30 owned a bra.

Regarding the hoodie, I did too until I had cancer surgery. They broke my thermostat, and now I am cold all year round, even when it’s 105. So I wear a hoodie to keep my chemo induced bald head warm.
