Say what you will about the risks presented by Chinese imports – they still haven’t managed to top this.

Brought back fond memories. Hey, maybe Stephane could kickstart his faltering career with one of these hot little numbers.
The person in style always looks like an idiot a few decades later.
Well said Dino
I often wonder not about how foolish those who bought such stuff feel about their purchases but how do the people who designed this dreck feel about the hate crime on fashion they committed.
herb tarlick of WKRP must have been shopping out of that catalogue…LOL
Hey, I had one of those belts. Paisley one, like three inches wide. Mum had to move my belt loops.
You think that’s bad, you’ve forgotten the shoes!
Sniff…brings back memories of my Toughskins demin pant and jacket set from Sears. Husky size of course, which if I’m not mistaken was proudly advertised on the labels.
Oh man. My sides, they ache. Not even sure why, but that page killed me. Thanks Kate.
That was so “Funny” Thanks Kate
Quite dreadful: to think we actually LIKED wearing such duds! IMO, ‘better, though, than the Brittney Spears’ look . . . At least our body parts weren’t hanging out.
That was so “Funny”. Thanks Kate.
Heh… I still have plenty of pics of myself and family from the Seventies. Love to take out the album for a good laugh at the outrageous getups we used to go around in…
Funny how it felt normal back then to look silly!
Sorry, what’s the cure for bleeding eyeballs again?
Looking back at my attire in the ’70s that consisted of gawd awful green uniform or jeans and tee shirts, I don’t think I did too bad.
Yep, you still can’t go wrong with jeans & tee shirt provided the jeans are “relaxed fit” 😉

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
Oscar Wilde
The seventies.
This was the most fashion impaired decade of the 20th century. The ugliest clothes, furniture, hair, houses, anything you looked at. The designers and the amateurs without an ounce of taste were out in full force.
When the decade ended, it was like a breath of fresh air.
Gawd!!
Not only did I wear that gook, I had an afro I couldnt get through a door with.
I’m old enough to remember fashions from every decade since the ’60’s (plus a fair bit of the 50’s). This confirms my longstanding belief that the 1970’s were rock bottom in fashion, style, industrial design, etc. Please don’t bring up disco.
I wonder why our politicians have,nt done anything about this anyway?
John B,
You forgot the best thing out of the 70’s
