Seventies fashions, if you can call them that, are making a comeback according to this article in the Independent.
My memories of female seventies fashion is of muddy, sludgy browns and greens and ill-fitting clothes made in cheap, tatty materials. To my mind, it beat the eighties shoulder pads hands down for bad taste and I can't actually think of anything I liked about it. So please tell me, male fashion gurus who are forecasting the return of seventies style for men, that it does not include flat-fronted viscose trousers, skin-tight fitted shirts with large, pointy collars and white, faux leather moccasins.
Mind you, I probably don't need to worry about Keith. I think this latest trend will almost certainly pass him by, but if he shows any signs of wanting to grow sideburns again, I shall certainly do my best to guide him in another direction.

I am a man ahead of my time in the world of fashion. I grew to adulthood in the seventies and knew the styles of the time would come back so I simply remained in seventies garb for the next three decades. Sorted!
How clever, YP. So it's all your fault then!
I've never been much of a follower of fashion. Nowadays it's mostly allotment garb, and wellies, that I wear which I guess you'd call the 'Compo' look! Flighty xx
Better than those awful flares anyway, Flighty. ;)
I have to confess to owning a tweed jacket which still makes an appearance once or twice a year.
Oddly enough, tweed jackets are not what I associate with the seventies, SP.
The ugliest piece of clothing ever designed was the polyester leisure suit-mid 70s.
