Every decade has a reputation and leaves a legacy for future generations. The 1950s were cool because of Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, classy cars, and the economic boom. The 1960s had counter-cultural stuff with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and, obviously, a lot of drugs.

But the 1970s? That decade still had the music, the sex, and the drugs, but those came with ugly hair, bell bottoms, weird color combinations, big collars, strange fashion senses. None of that was cool. Especially men’s fashion, it was all ugly.

The 1970s men’s fashion shown through these vintage photos is so ugly and disastrous. Men’s clothing made from shiny spandex, hip-hugging bell-bottom pants, unmanaged chest hair, bright leisure suits, skimpy short shorts, and questionable underwear choices.

This decade created the shortest of shorts, including some that looked like the guy forgot to wear a pair of pants. And one of the strangest fads of the 1970s was making clothing out of strange (and sometimes uncomfortable) fabrics. Who thought about wearing vinyl as a jumpsuit?
